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.

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. Chapter 7: Confucius for Young's Discovering Confucius: A Fun and Engaging Introduction: Introducing Confucius to young minds can be a delightful adventure.

The Analects are also called the Analects of Confucius, the Sayings of Confucius, or the Lun Yu, and are an old Chinese book written of a wide collection of ideas and sayings credited to the Chinese philosopher Confucius and his peers. It is believed to have been compiled and written by Confucius's followers. It might have been written during the Warring States period (477-221 BC), and it reached its final structure during the mid-Han dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). By the early Han dynasty, the Analects were thought of as simply a commentary on the Five Masterpieces, but the situation with the Analects developed to be one of the central texts of Confucianism toward the end of that dynasty. His essential goal in teaching his students was to produce ethically well-mannered men who might convey themselves with gravity, talk accurately, and demonstrate perfect integrity in all things.

The one name that looms large above any other name in China is Confucius. Erasmus stood at a pivotal point, and some say he was the intellectual pivot of the Renaissance. No thinker of his time influenced the world more. Moses was the world's first great teacher. He is still one of the world's great teachers. Seven million people yet look to his laws for special daily guidance, and more than two hundred millions read his books and regard them as Holy Writ. "The highest study of all is that which teaches us to develop those principles of purity and perfect virtue which Heaven bestowed upon us at our birth, in order that we may acquire the power of influencing for good those amongst whom we are placed, by our precepts and example; a study without an end--for our labours cease only when we have become perfect--an unattainable goal, but one that we must not the less set before us from the very first."

This book explores Aristotelian and Confucian wisdom traditions to understand education and what counts as a good teacher in an embodied dialogic approach. The book creates a dialogue between ancient ideas and the author’s lived experiences as a teacher in cross-cultural landscapes today to ruminate on the important themes of educational purpose, teacher excellence, teacher-student relationships, and teaching skill. It asks fundamental educational questions including "Why Do We Educate? Eudaimonia and Dao"; "What Do We Educate? Phronesis, Philia and Ren"; and "How Do We Educate? Techne and Liuyi". Moving beyond the dominant epistemological concerns such as how to teach more effectively to help students gain better marks in schools, it constitutes an ethical inquiry that illuminates the values, purposes, concerns, and hopes that animate genuinely educational work. Using a comparative approach to wisdom traditions from both the East and the West, it addresses parochialism and challenges Eurocentric research paradigms. Embedded in the messy ground of teaching in intergenerational and cross-cultural narratives, the author’s own experiences as a student/teacher/daughter of a teacher/mother of a student crucially unpacks and concretizes ancient concepts and reactivates them in concrete situations. A sense of a whole without completeness, a conception of the good without closure, and an aspiration without achievement continue to haunt the search for an ultimate answer to the question "what counts as a good teacher?". It will appeal to scholars, teachers, and teacher educators with an interest in narrative inquiry and educational research, as well as those in the field of curriculum studies and the philosophy of education.
