This is a hagiographical text on Confucius and Mencius published in 1905 by Jiang Zhongxiu (江鐘秀) based in Shandong who spent much time sorting our classics and advocating Confucian values. The book basically follows a chronological order and narrates important moments of the life of Confucius and Mencius. The current manuscript copy only has the Confucian part. It begins from a preface that argues Confucius' teaching is better than other teachings especially Christianity, and following Confucianism by learning from his traces will guarantee the prosperity of the country. It also discusses the importance of having pictures to generate ordinary readers’ interest. The main text of the book is a mishmash of citations from classics (jiang 講) and oral vernacular verses (xuan 宣) on the life of Confucius. It begins from his glorified birth until his death, with famous events such as learning zither from Master Xiang and the Chen-Cai plight. The quality of the pictures in the book were rough, and they seem to be from a non-professional painter. It inherits the Shengji tu (聖蹟圖 Pictures of the Sage’s Traces) tradition of earlier dynasties but with a bigger emphasis on orality. By this means, the sacredness of Confucius’ life is more accessible to common readers.
