I'm currently learning classical Chinese, and was wondering if somewhere online there were spoken versions of works like the Analects (obviously in Chinese.) A version where it is easy to find the audio for specific passages would be fantastic.

1There are many on Youtube. Go there, search analects, pick one you like, and download it. There are freewares that convert mp4 to audio file of various formats if you only want audio.– joehuaMar 17, 2022 at 18:11

1@joehua On youtube, I've only found either very low quality audio recording, or incomplete recordings.– provocateurMar 17, 2022 at 19:55

1@joehua The recording is good (so thank you), but the numbering system is totally different from the kind of standard numbering system found in ctext.org/analects for example. That makes it extremely cumbersome to look up specific passages.– provocateurMar 17, 2022 at 21:43

Are you looking for audio or video recording? How would you "look up" specific passages in an audio recording?– joehuaJul 21, 2022 at 20:47

go https://www.ximalaya.com/ search any classical chinese audio version you want.Remember to use chinese and add 原文 after its name. Books suggested:
论语(Analects),孟子,大学,中庸, this four are about Thought
资治通鉴,史记,this two about History,they are huge
古文观止,little hard
