  3. Confucius’s Life • Confucius (孔子) was born in 551 B.C. in Lu (Shandong Province now) and died in 479 B.C. • Confucius was a teacher and had thousands of students. Gradually he became famous. • Confucius created Confucianism and went to many countries (within China) to propagandize his theory, which wasn’t dominating yet at that time.

  4. Key Points of Confucianism • 仁 (kindness, Ren) is the most important component in Confucianism. The government should be kind to people, “Cruel governing is harsher than tigers”. • 礼 (ceremony or formality, Li): There are rules for all the ceremonies and how to be a certain role, e.g. how to be a son, how to be a father, how to be an official, etc. • 中庸: Literally it means “middlebrow, average” but the real meaning is “moderation” • Loyalty to government and the royal family, e.g. 孔鲤. “If an emperor wants an official to die, he has to die; if a father wants a son to die, he has to die.” This is a reason why Confucianism later on was picked by governor to be the dominating theory and everyone needed to learn it. • http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/tzD5CBhIHvg/
