Translations from Chinese Classical Texts

(1) T. de Bary and W. T. Chan (ed.): Sources of Chinese Tradition. Vol. 1, New York: Columbia University Press, 1960.
(2) Burton Watson’s translation of the Mozi, the Zhuangzi, the Xunzi and the Hanfeizi from Columbia University Press. Very readable, but the series translates only a “main” part of those texts.
(3) Chinese Text Project (http://ctext.org/) also provides English translations from a large number of early Chinese philosophical texts. Due to the restriction on copyright, most of translations were made before 1940s.
