Confucius
• Confucius is an ancient thinker and philosopher of China. His teachings had a
profound impact on the life of China and East Asia, becoming the basis of the
philosophical system known as Confucianism. Confucius founded the first University
and systematized the Chronicles compiled in various principalities. The teachings of
Confucius on the rules of conduct for princes, officials, soldiers, and peasants were
as widely spread in China as the teachings of the Buddha were in India. The real
name is kun Qiu 孔丘, but in literature it is often referred to as kun-Tzu, kun fu-Tzu,
or simply Tzu - "teacher". Already at the age of a little more than 20 years, he
became famous as the first professional teacher of the middle Kingdom.Before the
victory of legism, the school of Confucius was only one of many directions in the
intellectual life of the Warring kingdoms, during the period known as the Hundred
schools. It was only after the fall of Qin that the revived Confucianism reached the
status of state ideology, which remained until the beginning of the twentieth
century, only temporarily giving way to Buddhism and Taoism. This led to the
exaltation of the figure of Confucius and its inclusion in the religious Pantheon.
