Extractions: members of this tradition are learned people or gentlemen in the broad sense, emphasising the value and significance of morals, history and rituals; they commit themselves to the learning and interpretation of ancient classics; and they endeavour to carry out, politically and ethically, collectively and individually, the principles embodied in these classics. Because of the differences in methods of study and versions of the textbooks, Scholastic Confucianism developed along two different lines into two different schools, the New Text School and the Old Text School; the former was represented by the greatest Han scholar Tung Chung-shu (179?-104? BCE), while the latter was represented by Yang Hsiung (53 BCE-18 CE). One of the principal differences between the two schools was that the former held a more religious and transcendental view of Confucius and of the Confucian doctrine concerning the harmony between humanity and Heaven, while the latter took Confucius only as a perfect human being and rationalistically believed that the balance between humanity and Heaven was rooted solely in human activities themselves. During the time of the Wei-Jin dynasties (220-420), learning in general acquired a mystical dimension as a result of Taoism's and neo-Taoism's domination of Chinese scholarship. The dominant position of Taoism did not lead to the disappearance of Confucianism. Rather, Confucianism developed through incorporating and penetrating Taoist understanding and methodology, and thus became part of the so-called Mystical Learning (Hsuan Hsueh).

Extractions: Confucianism was developed from the teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius, born in 551 BC. Troubled by the corruption and moral decline he saw around him, Confucius came to believe that the way to restore a healthy society was to turn people back to the moral principles of antiquity found in the ancient classics. Deeply concerned with conduct and the interrelated duties of ruler and ruled, parents and children, old and young, Confucius taught that proper action is based on the five virtues of kindness, uprightness, decorum, wisdom, and faithfulness. Confucians believed that virtue was simply the right and proper way of doing things. Although it never existed as an established religion, Confucianism became the official ideology of the Chinese State. From the Han dynasty onwards, Chinese education was almost exclusively Confucian and was designed to prepare young men for government service. This created a powerful class of bureaucrats and scholars, all trained in Confucian philosophy, who shaped much of Chinese history.

His legacy was a system of thought emphasizing education, proper behavior, and loyalty. His effect on Chinese culture was immense.

Extractions: The Cult of Confucius Images of the Temple of Culture Thomas A. Wilson History and Asian Studies Hamilton College Version of this web page with Chinese characters Confucianism " is a tradition that traces its beginnings to an educated elite called shi of late antiquity that advised royal and regional feudal authorities during the Zhou dynasty (1134-250 B.C.) on governing, which emphasized the importance of virtuous rule through benevolence and proper conduct called ritual ( li ). The most prominent figure of this educated elite was a man named Kong Qiu (551 to 479 B.C.), usually referred to as Master Kong (Kong-fu zi or Kongzi). In the West, Kongzi is called Confucius, a name given him by Jesuit missionaries in the sixteenth century. Kongzi was born in the Watch Tower (Queli) district of Qufu, then the capital of the state of Lu of the Zhou kingdom. Kongzi was the son of Shuliang He, who, according to some sources, was a descendant of a prestigious lessor branch of a ducal lineage of the neighboring state of Song. Kongzi was raised by his mother, Yan Zhengzai after his father died before he was three. Confucian canon " became a critical part of the establishment of Confucianism as orthodoxy in the Song (960-1279), with the emergence of the civil service examination system as the most important means of appointment to positions in the bureaucracy.

Extractions: Confucius taught a way of life in which morality occupies a supreme position. Morality is shown to have no connection whatsoever with self-interest. In fact the demands of morality on a man are categorical. If need be, he has to sacrifice even his life in doing what is right. Confucius's view concerning the actual duties a man has was traditional. A man is born into certain relationships and as a result has certain duties. For instance, he has a duty of loyalty to his lord, a filial duty to his parents, a duty to help his friends, and a duty of common humanity towards his fellow beings. These duties are not of equal stringency. A man's duty to his lord and parents comes before his duty to his friends and fellow human beings. It was Confucius's belief that if everyone lived up to his duties according to his station political order would prevail. from D. C.

http://www.students.bucknell.edu/mzinman/Confucianism.html

Extractions: To begin, one may simply look at the definition of a religion and see how it applies to Confucianism. A religion is a set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader. Confucianism seems to be exactly that. Confucius taught his ideas to his disciples and the ideas continued on through texts and teachings from generation to generation. Currently, Confucianism really is a set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of Confucius. Also, there is a reverence for Heaven. It is believed that Heaven is the creator of everything and it governs the universe. Confucius believed that Heaven created everything and continues to rule and govern what happens inside. There is a triad that is created between Heaven, Earth, and humans. It is obvious that Confucius believed in Heaven and its ways. By using a simple definition, it is easy to show the many correlations between Confucianism and religion. Similar to many organized religions, Heaven is a major and central theme to the idea of Confucianism. Confucius had a strong belief in Heaven and its many ways. Heaven in Confucian society however is more than our salvation at the end of life as believed in Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. Heaven plays the role of a justice, a set of moral principles, and as natural law. It is also believed that rulers received their power through the Mandate of Heaven.

Extractions: K'ung Fu Tzu (commonly pronounced Confucius in English) was born in 551 BCE in the state of Lu (modern day Shantung Province). He lived during the Chou dynasty, and era known for its moral laxity. Later in life, he wandered through many states of China, giving advice to their rulers. He accumulated a small band of students during this time. The last years of his life were spent back in Lu, where he devoted himself to teaching. His writings deal primarily with individual morality and ethics, and the proper exercise of political power by the rulers. In China, and some other areas in Asia, the social ethics and moral teachings of Confucius are blended with the Taoist communion with nature and Buddhist concepts of the afterlife, to form a set of complementary, peacefully co-existent and ecumenical religions. There are approximately 6 million Confucians in the world. About 26,000 live in North America; almost all of the remainder are found throughout China and the rest of Asia. Confucian ethical teachings include the following values: Li : includes ritual, propriety, etiquette, etc.

Extractions: Home Agriculture Art Business ... Travel People Confucianism Confucianism formed the basis for the social order in China since 200 BC. It provided the working rules and ethical precepts for Chinese to follow. Even today majority of Chinese still behave according to these rules. Confucianism views individual as a social creature obligated to each other through relationships. These may include the relations between sovereign and subject, parent and child, elder and younger, husband and wife, or even friend and friend. Confucianism defined the rules in the engagement, action, and responsibilities in all these human relationships and interactions. Proper conduct proceeds not through compulsion, but through a sense of virtue and self-consciousness achieved by learning, observing and practicing. Confucianism has a lot of similarities with socialism today. Both promote collective interests and community welfare. Both emphasize the educational or remolding process in serving the common good of the society. These concepts may be quite different from the West that every individual is a completely independent entity. Individual freedom is well above the social order and welfare. Confucius is one of the greatest educators. He insisted that in education there should be no class distinctions. He established an education system for training in administrative and diplomatic arts. The system was later adapted as a central government examination system in selecting senior officers. For years, all students and scholars alike worked very hard for the annual examination in the hope that they might become senior officers in the government.
