This article presents a general commentary on the Xué Ér 學而, focusing on the broader conceptual framework of the Lúnyŭ論語-the famous Confucian text attributed to Kŏngfūzĭ孔夫子, “Confucius”. It offers an analysis of six main notions that appear throughout the sixteen aphorisms of the Xué Ér: xué 學, jūnzĭ君子, xiào 孝, běn 本, rén 仁, and lĭ 禮. It also incorporates several contemporary interpretations referred to the possible translations of these notions into modern Indo-European languages.
