Confucius was born in 551 B.C., the same time as the Greek philosopher Socratis and the Buddhism founder Sieddatha Guatama. Confucius' theories and principles have influenced how the Chinese government has run the country for the past 2000 years.
Confuciusism is composed of 3 main philosophies:
- Love and caring
Love your parents, love your family, love your friends and love the whole world. Love the people you like, as well as love the people you don't like. Only a kind and caring government could succeed, a ruthless government was deemed to fail.
- Sympathy and Tolerance
Help each other, tolerate other people's mistake. Do not force other people to do the things that yourself do not want to do. In education, Confucious promoted the doctrine of teaching to every student, regardless of their social and economic status. Teaching according to the students' needs.
- Respect the law, rule and regulation
Society is built on rules. People should respect to these rules. Students should respect their teachers, children should respect their parents and young people should respect the elderly. Without discipline, social structure would collapse.
