The Analects, also known as the Sayings of Confucius, is an ancient Chinese philosophical text composed of sayings and ideas attributed to Confucius.  

Zigong who was born in Xunxian County, Henan Province, China, is regarded as the biggest contributor to the compilation of The Analects. He vowed to promote Confucianism, invested a large sum of money, gathered fellow disciples, and compiled the Master's teachings into the Analects, which is truly a classic among classics, widely known and spread throughout the land.
