Confucius was a very wise man. Although he was not well known when he was alive, Confucius is now the most remembered person from ancient China.
Confucius was born in a period of Chinese history known as the Age of Warring States.
It was a period that saw China divided into many small kingdoms.
The local rulers fought one another and were often cruel to their people. Confucius advised many leaders that peace and justice was not possible without good government, and that good government was possibleonly through good leaders.
Confucius also taught that government officials should not use family connections to get their positions. The officials, he said, should instead earn their jobs through education and talent. Many years after Confucius died, China set up an examination system that lasted over 1300 years.
Despite his obscure life, Confucius left an amazing legacy. A legacy is something handed down from the past. Confucius never wrote down his philosophy, but he made an enormous impact on many people.
His students compiled a book known as the Analects after Confucius died.
The Analects became the model for official and personal behavior for many Chinese people.
Many governments have tried to suppress the teachings of Confucius, but his philosophy remains an important part of Chinese culture to this day.
