  Ernest Fenollosa, Ezra Pound, Chinese
In 1954 Ezra Pound published his translation of the third of the Chinese Classics under the title "The Classic Anthology Defined by Confucius."

The complete Chinese poem of twenty syllables will be reproduced later, when it will be found that eleven of the twenty are defined as nouns, three as adjectives, two as copulative variants, one as intransitive verb, two as of doubtful classification, and only one, 'admire', as a transitive verb with fairly low dynamics.

Texts which may seem to us spontaneous and through-composed were actually written to conform to rhetorical models or narrative groundplans.
This was the earliest Analects layer to be written on the model which later became normal for the rest of the text (and to which the shorter and earlier Analects 4 was eventually adjusted).
This early text also cannot be thought of as a gradual growth from, say, a 23-pentagram system; any text exploring the variants of a pentagram as here defined will necessarily, from the beginning, be divided into 32 sections.

 Ming Dynasty - China History - China
The Ming Dynasty (Chinese languageChinese: 明朝; Pinyin: mandiacute;ng ch?o) was the ruling dynasty of China from 1368 to 1644, though claims to the Ming throne (now collectively called the Southern Ming) survived until 1662.
Chinese Marxist historians, especially during the 1970s identified the Ming age one of "incipient capitalism," a description that seems quite reasonable, but one that does not quite explain the official downgrading of trade and increased state regulation of commerce during the Ming era.
State control (but not necessarily support) of the Chinese economy and for that matter, of society in all its aspects, remained the dominant characteristic of Chinese life in Ming times as earlier.
