This study is to examine when ≪Confucian Analects≫ was introduced into Korea and Japan and how it has developed, since then, how it has been influenced on two countries, and what is its significance in modern society. We are able to infer from Japanese historical records that ≪Confucian Analects≫ was introduced into Korea before early 6th centuries, and Japan in the early 6th centuries. Its academic achievement has been piled since ≪The Analects of Confucius Variorum≫ by Zhuxi was introduced in the 13th-14th centuries, and to this day, its study has been continuing. As ≪Confucian Analects≫, a chronicle of Confucius and his disciples' sayings and doings, is the most important historical record to understand Confucius and Confucianism, it has been the center of attention and a must-read for scholars ever. When reading ≪Confucian Analects≫, considering our society, we become aware of its wisdom and its deep meaning.
