Antects of Xo, The

Full title: The Analects of Xo
Author: Xo 
Published: Xo c500 BCE, Published in Ancient Chinese, modern Chinese and English by Hypatia Publishing 2023.
Format: Dead Tree and E-book
Content: One of the books burned by Qin Shi Huang Mr Xo was fortunately not alive to be burned with his books.
The book is a short thesis (forty pages) on proper behavior. It reads very like an early form of Confucianism. Xo does not speak of princes, but only the manner of a well mannered person and house.
The book is a priceless look at Chinese philosophy before there was even an idea of China in the Dark Age created by Qin Shi Huang.
==Reaction==
Gleeful dancing by scholars of ancient China. There is some consternation that such a book was produced by an American company. The Stacks are equally accessible. Where is the Chinese company doing this?
The did result in the creation of Bèi yíwàng de zhīshì zhī jiā, a Chinese company doing what Hypatia Publishing does. They were graciously allowed to publish the Analects of Xo from Hypatia's files to get them off the floor.
There is a very minor push back from a small group that thinks these books were burned for a very good reason, and should stay burned.
