The ancestors of Confucius stemmed from the nobility of the State ofSong, who moved to the State ofLuto escape upheavals at the court. Confucius’ father was a military man whose social status, despite his aristocratic background, was a low one. When Confucius was three years old, his father died, and the child was brought up by his mother in straitened circumstances. His early career was spent as a minor official administering the state granaries and livestock herds. In the time of Duke Ding of Lu (509-495 BC) he was promoted to minister of justice, the pinnacle of his political career. At the age of 55 Confucius stepped down from the political stage, and left the State ofLuto tour many of the other states inChina, promoting his own political theories. In his later years he returned to the State ofLuto devote himself to teaching and redacting ancient records, among which was an official history of the State ofLucalled the Spring and Autumn Annals.Confucius was ancientChina’s leading thinker, educator and philosopher, and the founder of Confucianism.

How did a young man brought up in a one-parent household manage to attain the rank of a senior official of the State ofLuby his own efforts step by step? How did he fulfill his own life value in such an unequal society? Confucius had a complete life plan: “At the age of 15, I embarked on study ... At the age of 70, I could follow my heart’s desire.” Confucius defined the Mandate of Heaven as “waxing of the moon won’t last long.” At the age of 55 he left official life, intending to propagate his political doctrine and put the world to rights based on “righteousness and virtue.” Even while he was engaged in official life Confucius never neglected his educational vocation, which he regarded as the material guarantee of his sustenance. Confucius used the deductive method in his teaching, “revealing one corner to get the students to deduce the other three corners.” This is of great reference value even today. Zigong, one of Confucius’ disciples, used this method to play a game with the leading lords of the kingdom concerning the growth and decline of power. He thereby changed the situation in which the leaders of the five major states struggled for hegemony, leading the overlordship to fall to the king of the State ofYueand himself to becoming a very rich merchant. To show his gratitude for the instruction he had received from Confucius,Zigongkept a vigil at the latter’s grave for six years.
In the sphere of politics, Confucius divided people into “gentlemen” and “petty men.” This was a departure from the traditional strictly hierarchical outlook of the aristocracy. A “gentleman” did not need to be a noble or high office-holder, nor did a “petty man” have to be a poor and powerless commoner. At that time, this could be called a bold innovation, which laid the theoretical foundation for his disciples to enter the highest ranks of society.
The object of Confucius’ inquiries was the relationship which could lead to the harmonious development of the individual and society. He taught how individuals should relate to each other, the proper relationship between the individual and society and how a man could achieve harmony with himself, and eventually realize the realm of morality in human life. Confucius’ ideology aimed at “morality” and “piety.” This not only had a far-reaching influence on individuals, it had an even more far-reaching influence on the Chinese nation as a whole. While leaving us a wealth of valuable experience, Confucius also taught us how to behave as human beings and as members of society. | | |
