Hi, your welcome to biography of "Confucius" "The Wise Teacher of Ancient China". Confucius, the Wise Sage: In the annals of history, one name shines brightly as a beacon of wisdom and virtue Confucius. Born in 551 BCE in the region of Lu, ancient China, Confucius would go on to become one of the most influential figures in human civilization. His teachings and philosophy, collectively known as Confucianism, have left an indelible mark on Chinese culture and the world at large. An Introduction to Ancient China's Great Philosopher: To understand the impact of Confucius, we must first delve into the historical context of ancient China. During Confucius' time, the region was marked by political turmoil and social unrest. The Zhou dynasty, once a dominant force, had weakened, leading to the emergence of numerous states vying for power. In this tumultuous environment, Confucius sought to restore order and harmony through the cultivation of moral values and the pursuit of knowledge. Chapter 1: Early Life and Education The Young Confucius: A Humble Beginning: Confucius was born into modest circumstances, but his thirst for learning was evident from an early age. Raised by his mother after his father's death, he displayed a precocious curiosity that set him apart from his peers. His dedication to learning and sense of duty towards his family laid the foundation for his later philosophical journey. The Quest for Knowledge: Confucius' Early Education: Confucius' passion for knowledge led him to seek out the teachings of various scholars and masters. He studied the ancient classics, honed his literary skills, and engaged in spirited debates with other intellectuals. His unwavering determination to understand the principles of virtue and governance guided him on a lifelong quest for wisdom. Chapter 2: Travels and Learning Wanderlust and Enlightenment: Confucius' Travels: To broaden his intellectual horizons, Confucius embarked on a journey that took him to different states within China. These travels exposed him to diverse cultures and traditions, offering invaluable insights that would shape his philosophical outlook. His encounters with local rulers and intellectuals also gave him opportunities to share his wisdom and ideals. Seeking Wisdom from Different Masters: Confucius was not content with merely learning from books; he sought wisdom from living masters as well. He studied music and the arts, military strategy, and administrative practices, acknowledging that true wisdom came from a comprehensive understanding of the world. This eclecticism laid the groundwork for the holistic nature of Confucian teachings. Chapter 3: Teaching and Philosophy Passing on Wisdom: Confucius as a Teacher: Recognizing the value of education, Confucius became a revered teacher, attracting students from all walks of life. His teaching style emphasized dialogue and the Socratic method of questioning to stimulate critical thinking. His students, known as the Disciples of Confucius, became carriers of his wisdom, spreading his teachings throughout the land. The Three Pillars of Confucianism: Benevolence, Propriety, and Filial Piety: At the core of Confucian philosophy were three essential virtues: benevolence (ren), propriety (li), and filial piety (xiao). These principles served as the moral compass for individuals and rulers alike, promoting harmonious relationships within families, communities, and the state. Confucius believed that by embodying these virtues, society could attain peace and prosperity. Chapter 4: Challenges and Exile Turbulent Times: Challenges Faced by Confucius: Despite his esteemed reputation as a scholar and teacher, Confucius faced considerable opposition and challenges from conservative forces in society. His teachings challenged the prevailing norms, particularly among the ruling class, leading to resistance and hostility. Exile and Reflection: Confucius' Journey of Self-Discovery: Amidst political intrigues and power struggles, Confucius experienced a period of exile, during which he contemplated the complexities of human nature and the imperfections of governance. This period of introspection deepened his philosophical insights and reaffirmed his commitment to principles of virtue and moral governance. Chapter 5: Confucius' Legacy and Influence The Enduring Impact: Confucius' Legacy in History: Confucius' influence transcended his lifetime, and his teachings continued to shape Chinese society long after his passing. Confucianism became the dominant philosophical and ethical system, forming the foundation of Chinese culture, governance, and education. His emphasis on harmony, respect, and social order left an indelible mark on the nation's collective consciousness. From China to the World: The Global Reach of Confucianism: As China engaged in cultural exchanges with neighbouring regions and beyond, Confucianism spread to other East Asian countries, including Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. The profound impact of Confucian values on these societies can still be seen in their traditions, values, and ethical codes. Chapter 6: Anecdotes and Teachings Stories of Wisdom: Anecdotes from Confucius' Life: The life of Confucius was not only marked by his philosophical insights but also by numerous anecdotes that illustrate his wisdom, compassion, and wit. These stories offer a glimpse into his character and the principles he espoused. Lessons for Life: Confucius' Timeless Teachings: Confucius' teachings, collected in the Analects, contain a treasure trove of wisdom applicable to all aspects of life. From personal conduct to governance, his lessons provide guidance on moral virtue, family values, leadership, and the pursuit of knowledge.

What is it like to be a Westerner teaching political philosophy in an officially Marxist state? Why do Chinese sex workers sing karaoke with their customers? And why do some Communist Party cadres get promoted if they care for their elderly parents? In this entertaining and illuminating book, one of the few Westerners to teach at a Chinese university draws on his personal experiences to paint an unexpected portrait of a society undergoing faster and more sweeping changes than anywhere else on earth. With a storyteller's eye for detail, Daniel Bell observes the rituals, routines, and tensions of daily life in China. China's New Confucianism makes the case that as the nation retreats from communism, it is embracing a new Confucianism that offers a compelling alternative to Western liberalism. Bell provides an insider's account of Chinese culture and, along the way, debunks a variety of stereotypes. He presents the startling argument that Confucian social hierarchy can actually contribute to economic equality in China. He covers such diverse social topics as sex, sports, and the treatment of domestic workers. He considers the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, wondering whether Chinese overcompetitiveness might be tempered by Confucian civility. And he looks at education in China, showing the ways Confucianism impacts his role as a political theorist and teacher. By examining the challenges that arise as China adapts ancient values to contemporary society, China's New Confucianism enriches the dialogue of possibilities available to this rapidly evolving nation. In a new preface, Bell discusses the challenges of promoting Confucianism in China and the West.

Learn more about China's most famous teacher and philosopher, whose ideas are still influential today. Born in 551 BC, Confucius was a young man when he set his heart and mind on learning as much as he could. By his thirties, he'd become a brilliant teacher who shared his knowledge of several subjects, including arithmetic, history, and poetry, with his students. Confucius wanted to make sure that everyone in China had access to an education and devoted his whole life to learning and teaching so he could transform and improve society. His lessons--now known as Confucianism--are practiced by over six million people in the world. They focus on loving humanity, worshiping ancestors, respecting elders, and self-discipline. Confucianism has become the system that governs a total way of life in East Asia.

"The Great Learning" was one of the "Four Books" in Confucianism. "The Great Learning" had come from a chapter in the Classic of Rites which formed one of the Five Classics. It consists of a short main text attributed to the teachings of Confucius and then ten commentary chapters accredited to one of Confucius' disciples, Zengzi. The ideals of the book were supposedly Confucius's; however the text was written after his death. The "Four Books" were selected by the neo-Confucian Zhu Xi during the Song Dynasty as a foundational introduction to Confucianism and examinations for the state civil service in China. Confucius (551–479 BC) was a Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history.

Excerpt from Confucius, the Great Teacher: A Study In the following pages I have endeavoured to bring together, in the compass of a single volume, and in the form which would be most likely to interest the general reader, a résumé of all that concerns the life, times, and teaching of the great Chinese philosopher, Confucius. I have occasionally included in the details of his life incidents which are legendary, rather than historical, for the reason that, had I discarded them, I should have deprived the reader of many striking illustrations of his character, and of the manners, and of the mode of thought, belonging to the time in which he lived; and in doing this I have only followed the example of many preceding writers, amongst whom are to be enumerated such high authorities as M. Pauthier and the Jesuit Father P. Amiot. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This volume shows the influence of the Sage's teachings over the course of Chinese history--on state ideology, the civil service examination system, imperial government, the family, and social relations--and the fate of Confucianism in China in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as China developed alongside a modernizing West and Japan. Some Chinese intellectuals attempted to reform the Confucian tradition to address new needs; others argued for jettisoning it altogether in favor of Western ideas and technology; still others condemned it angrily, arguing that Confucius and his legacy were responsible for China's feudal, ''backward'' conditions in the twentieth century and launching campaigns to eradicate its influences. Yet Chinese continue to turn to the teachings of Confucianism for guidance in their daily lives.
