Confucius: Great Teacher of China

Description

A beautiful illustrated biography of a man whose philosophy shaped the course of Chinese history: the great teacher Confucius.

Culture Notes PDF

Before approaching Confucius and Confucianism there are some very important points to bear in mind:

The relevance of Confucius in cultural terms is comparable to that of Jesus of Nazareth, the Buddha and Muhammed. Trying to understand the East Asian world without any knowledge of Confucianism would be akin to trying to understand the Western world without any knowledge of Christianity.
Dependable historical data on Confucius’s life story is utterly scarce. What we have received is a life story rich in legendary elements.
A strand of Confucianism was adopted as the official ideology of the Chinese empire in the Western Han dynasty and, generally, maintained this position until the advent of the Republican period in 1912.
