Are there published adaptations of the Analects in Modern Mandarin? Bilingual (English/Chinese) editions of the Analects seem to be set using standard, Modern Mandarin fonts.  And some of the analects are pretty easy to read with a Modern Mandarin background -- with a few corrections like knowing that 也 used to mark affirmation.  But the experts I read say the Analects as a whole, in the classical Chinese, are not readable in Modern Mandarin.  Are there published editions in the PRC adapted to Modern Mandarin?  Maybe for school children?
I am asking in order to understand modern China.  I do not want such an edition myself.
As to the character fonts, those issues are well,  but concisely, described at https://chinese.stackexchange.com/posts/9569/revisions
Yes. There are &quot;vernacular translations&quot; (白话译文)  putting the Analects themselves in modern Chinese language.  Several of these can be found by searching &quot;论语&quot; &quot;译文&quot;.  I have not surveyed how many.
