Chang Heng, a professor that had taught Confucian and Daoist classics and Chinese thought history for 40 years in the Department of Chinese Literature at National Taiwan University, inspired his students and scholars with his upright personality and profound knowledge. This study focuses on two of his articles on the Analects collected in A Collection of Articles about Thinking: A Modern Interpretation of Confucian and Daoist Thoughts. "The Discussions of the Classic of Poetry in the Analects" challenges pragmatism, reveals Confucius's insights into the Classic of Poetry, and initiates an approach that combines ren-xin 'kindheartedness' and shi-xing 'implied comparison of the Classic of Poetry.' "A Poem in the Analects" regards the part in the Analects that Zeng Dian's description of his life goal as a poem and entitles that chapter the "Late Spring Chapter," incorporates it into the lyrical tradition of the Classic of Poetry, and presents an interpretation of poetic thought and life goal expression. This study analyzes how Chang connects tradition with modernity, unites thinking (reasoning) and writing (sentiment), and demonstrates a potential progress of academic research.
