ConfucianismNot long after Lao-Tzu founded Taoism, Confucius was born in 551 BC. Confucius was a philosopher and thinker. Confucius came up with ways that people should behave and live. He didn't write these down, but his followers did.
Confucius' teachings focus on treating others with respect, politeness, and fairness. He thought that honor and morality were important qualities. He also said that family was important and honoring one's relatives was required. Unlike Taoists, followers of Confucius believed in a strong organized government. Confucius is famous today for his many sayings. Here are a few of them: Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses. It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do. When anger rises, think of the consequences. Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it. |
