Confucius
born in 551 BCE, is an ancient Chinese thinker, politician, educator and founder of Confucianism.
Confucius initiated the private lecture style, advocating benevolence
(仁慈), righteousness (正义), propriety(礼节), wisdom and trust.
He led some of his disciples to travel around the world for 14 years, and in his later years revised the Six Classics (" Poetry ", "Book", "Rites", "Music", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn").
After his death, his disciples recorded the words and deeds, sayings and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples, and compiled them into the Analects of Confucius.
His ideas have a profound impact on China and the world.
Review the old and learn the new.
Make no social distinctions in teaching
To learn and at due time to repeat what one has learnt, isn’t that after all a pleasure
Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.
When seeing a person with high caliber, strive to be this equal.
温故而知新
见贤思齐
