American poet and philosopher Emerson believed that "Confucius is the glory of all nations in the world."

In the Spring and Autumn Period when Confucius lived, the political system of Western Zhou society based on blood clans collapsed, and the "Zhuxia" national unity based on cultural identity was forming. This was the era when the cultural consciousness of the Chinese people first emerged. Classics became fashionable, and some people began to think about issues such as the way of heaven, life, and world order. The cultural education originally monopolized by the aristocracy was gradually flowing into the people. Confucius was the representative figure and master of the spirit of this era, and he was the first of all the schools of thought in the Warring States Period. "The Analects" is the main work to understand his thoughts

Confucius (September 28, 551 BC - April 11, 479 BC), whose courtesy name was Zhongni. The second eldest child is Han nationality and a native of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period. Confucius is a great thinker and educator in ancient my country, the founder of Confucianism, and one of the most famous cultural celebrities in the world. Compiled my country's first chronological history book, "Spring and Autumn". According to relevant records, Confucius was born in Changping Township, Zouyi, Lu State (now Luyuan Village, Nanxin Town, southeast of Qufu City, Shandong Province); when Confucius died, he was 73 years old and was buried on the Surabaya River in the north of Qufu City, where Confucius is today . Confucius' words and deeds are mainly recorded in the Analects of Confucius, a collection of quotation-style prose, and "Historical Records: Confucius' Family" preserved in the pre-Qin and Qin-Han Dynasties.

Confucius had a profound influence on later generations. Although he "stated but did not compose", he was already known as "the sage of heaven", "the wooden duo of heaven" and "the eternal saint" during his lifetime. One of the most learned men in society. Later generations also respected him as the "Holy Saint" (the saint among saints) and "the teacher of all generations". They believed that he had revised "Poems" and "Books", set "Rites" and "Music", and prefaced the "Book of Changes" (called the "Book of Changes").

Together with "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "Mencius", it is also known as the "Four Books". The current edition of "The Analects" contains twenty chapters. The language of "The Analects" is concise and concise, and its meaning is profound. Many of its remarks are still regarded as the truth by the world today.

Never tired of learning and teaching

Confucius was famous for his eagerness to learn and showed a strong interest in all kinds of knowledge. Therefore, he was famous for his versatility and profound knowledge at that time. He is almost regarded as an all-knowing sage, but Confucius himself does not think so. Confucius said: "If sage and benevolent, how dare I dare? I will never tire of doing it, and I will never tire of teaching others." Confucius learned from the teacher of impermanence. Whoever has knowledge will have other things. If he didn't know something, he would worship whoever was his teacher, so he said, "When three people walk together, there must be one who is my teacher." Yes, he once said: "As for me, who will criticize and who will praise me? If you are praised, you have to try it. This is the people, the reason why the three generations have followed the straight path." "Historical Records" records that Confucius was 30 When I was many years old, I asked Lao Tzu about etiquette. When I was leaving, I gave him this message: "A person who is wise and thoughtful and close to the deceased is a good judge of others. Those who are eloquent and eloquent are those who endanger themselves and bring evil to others. As a son of man, do not do this. "If you are a minister, you should not have yourself." This was Laozi's kind reminder to Confucius, and also pointed out some of Confucius's shortcomings, which was that he looked at problems too deeply and spoke too sharply, which hurt some people of high status and would bring harm to himself. Great danger. With the concept of being kind to others, Confucius created a moral theory centered on benevolence. He himself was also a very kind person, compassionate, helpful, sincere and generous to others. "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you", "The beauty of a gentleman is the evil of being an adult", "Be kind to yourself and beg others lightly", etc., are all his principles of life.

Political Thought

Advocacy of Virtue Governance

This strategy of extending virtues and etiquette to the people has actually broken the traditional belief that etiquette should not be extended to common people, and has broken an important original boundary between nobles and common people. Confucius' theory of benevolence embodies the spirit of humanity, while Confucius' theory of etiquette embodies the spirit of etiquette, that is, order and system in the modern sense.

Humanism is an eternal theme of mankind and is applicable to any society, any era, and any government.

Confucius’s spirit of humanism and order is the essence of ancient Chinese social and political thought.
