Abstract—The Analects, as a classic of Chinese thought and culture, abounds with a variety of cultural vocabulary and terminology, and concept with profound and delicate connotations, which is a vivid embodiment of the discourse of Community for the Chinese Nation. Therefore, the international dissemination of The Analects plays an important role in shaping the discourse construction of Community for the Chinese Nation, enhancing cultural confidence, and forging a firm sense of Community for the Chinese Nation. Based on the discourse expression of Community for the Chinese Nation in The Analects, this paper takes popular translations of The Analects to explore how the discourse of Community for the Chinese Nation is expressed and constructed, which help to provide valuable insights for promoting the “going global” of traditional Chinese culture in an appropriate manner.

Keywords—community for the Chinese nation, discourse construction, the analects, translation
