The analysis focuses on two aspects of the Confucius figure: (1) Confucius as a textual function that serves to integrate and validate disparate textual units within a coherent narrative framework; (2) Confucius as authoritative master who enunciates didactic pronouncements in the presence of his disciples. The latter function is ironically appropriated in Zhuangzi 莊子. The article closes with a reflection on possible future directions of research into uses of the Confucius figure Workplace Oriental Institute Contact Zuzana Kvapilová, kvapilova@orient.cas.cz, Tel.: 266 053 950 Year of Publishing 2015
