This essay sheds light on images of and narratives about Confucius from ancient to medieval China (ca. 3rd c. BCE–7th c. CE) which lie outside the mainstream of canonical scholarship. To this end, the essay draws on received as well as archaeologically retrieved narratives and dialogues involving the Confucius figure. Among these are jokes, discussions about the Book of Changes (Zhou yi / Yijing), early medieval “records of the strange” (zhiguai), “apocrypha” (chenwei), “transformation texts” (bianwen) and mantic writings from Dunhuang, and orally transmitted folk narratives
