Confucius was apparently born about 551 BC in the Watch Tower (Queli) district of Qufu, then the capital of the state of Lu of the Zhou kingdom. He is believed to have worked as a minor civil servant and teacher under the Zhou Dynasty. The tradition he left was not originally intended as a philosophical learning, as much as a "Way of the Gentleman", and in Chinese "Confucianism" is better rendered as "The School of the learned". Confuciansim itself is a system of honour codes and moral assumptions for the educated upper classes of Chinese society, principally formed by Confucius, Mencius (Mengzi), and Xunzi. canonisation It was later writers, such as Sima Tan, Sima Qian, and Liu Xiang, who distilled philosophical elements from the Confucian writings. A large number of different schools of thought emerged from the study of such texts in relation to the Confucian canon.

Confucius, while known for the sternness of his moral teachings, was also reputed to be charismatic and congenial and to speak to his students in a conversational tone. Yet most translations of the Analects either have an archaic, over-formal style; are overwordy in an attempt to convey every nuance; or are so casual in their use of the vernacular that they begin to wander from the simple meaning of the original text. I hope to avoid those pitfalls through careful selection of synonyms and addition of the fewest words necessary to make grammatical sense in English. In the cases of some idiomatic phrases, unfortunately, it's impossible to capture the true succinctness of the original, and in these cases I've simply resorted to whatever English phrases are necessary to get the same idea across. I've used the words "person" and "noble person" to translate

Confucius Analects . The Confucian method characterizes just about all Chinese learning down to the present day; its fundamental tenet is the unwavering belief in the perfectibility of human beings through learning. Chinese Glossary Jen Confucius had one overwhelming message: if we are to achieve a state of orderliness and peace, we need to return to traditional values of virtue. These values are based entirely on one concept: jen which is best translated as "humaneness," but can also mean "humanity," "benevolence," "goodness," or "virtue." This humaneness is a relatively strange concept to Western eyes, because it is not primarily a practicable virtue. Rather, the job of the "gentleman," , was to concentrate on the highest concepts of behavior even when this is impractical or foolish. Like his contemporaries, Confucius believed that the human order in some way reflected the divine order, or the patterns of heaven. More than anything, according to Confucius, the ancients understood the order and hierarchy of heaven and earth; as a result, Confucius established the Chinese past as an infallible model for the present. What is incumbent on individual people is to determine the right pattern to live and govern by; this can be achieved by studying the sage-kings and their mode of life and government and by following rituals scrupulously, for the pattern of heaven is most explicitly inscribed on the various rituals

Ce philosophe et penseur chinois exerça une puissante influence sur la culture chinoise et sur son histoire même. Ainsi, comme la médecine chinoise se préoccupe avant tout de soigner la cause du mal, la doctrine confucéenne propose de soigner la cause profonde des désordres sociaux. C'est ainsi que les disciples de Maître K'ong développèrent l'idée qu'en cultivant sa personne, l'homme devient un être supérieur rayonnant d'une sagesse qui va immanquablement se propager autour de lui en un principe d'ordre, et influencer positivement toute la société. Sans pour autant évoquer le nom de Dieu, Confucius s'est fait l'ambassadeur de Son ordre cosmique qu'il propageait par sa quête d'idéal et son souci de l'évolution personnelle dans le respect et l'Amour des autres. Aussi fut-il davantage considéré comme un maître de sagesse plutôt qu'un mystique. Et encore aujourd'hui, nous rendons hommage au Maître spirituel qu'il est, au fils de Lumière venu semer quelques graines d'Amour 500 ans avant la venue de Jésus-Christ !

Confucius: Analects (5th C. BCE?) The sayings of Confucius were remembered by his followers and were later compiled in a book of Analects (sayings), perhaps having been expanded on in the meantime. Through them we discover Confucius' notions of the virtues, i.e., the positive character traits, to which we should aspire. Foremost among these is Filial Piety, the respect which children owe to parentsand by extension, wives owe to husbands, sisters to brothers, and everyone to ancestors. When such virtue is cultivated in the home, it is supposed to carry over into one's relations in affairs of state as well. How does Confucius formulate the equivalent of the Golden Rule ("do unto others as you would have them do unto you")? Is his a stronger injunction or a less demanding one? On Filial Piety Mang I asked what filial piety is. The Master said, "It is being obedient." Soon after, as Fan Chi was driving him, the Master told him "Mang asked me what filial piety is, and I answer him 'being obedient.'" Fan Chi asked, "What exactly did you mean?" The Master replied, "That parents, when alive, should be served according to ritual; that, when dead, they should be buried according to ritual; and that they should be sacrificed to according to ritual." Ziyou asked what filial piety is. The Master said, "The filial piety of now-a-days means providing nourishment for one's parents. But dogs and horses likewise are able to do something along that line for their own kind. Without reverence, what is there to distinguish the one support given from the other?"

Examples of Confucius Say, . . . Jokes FAST-US-7 (TRENAV2C) United States Popular Culture (Hopkins) Department of Translation Studies, University of Tampere The "Confucius Say, ..." joke (the "Confucious" spelling is also common) is an example of standard-format culture-bound folk-humor. Along with Knock-Knock Jokes they are among the most common examples of juvenile English-language word-play humor. Confucius (also spelled "Confucious", etc.) jokes are always one-liners beginning with the phrase "Confucius Say, ..." [note the non-grammatical format, perhaps indicating an original anti-Chinese intent (cf Rationale of the Dirty Joke )]. Confucius jokes originally centered on a "folk truth," in ways not unlike urban folklore like The Hook . They almost always have a scatological element, ranging from mildly to extremely vulgar. They always include a punning or double-meaning of words or language phrases, particularly colloquial folk-register phrases such as by cracky, to be in the doghouse, to get caught red-handed, to feel low-down , or something which is not on the level , etc.; double-meanings of homonyms such as

What Confucius Thought by Megaera Lorenz Confucius, since he lived in a war-torn society, was largely concerned with improving government and society. He was convinced that the problem with government and society was a lack of virtue. There were not enough government workers of the ideal kind that Confucius's pupil Zizhang described: A public servant who on confronting danger is prepared to lay down his life, who on confronting gain concentrates on what is right, who when sacrificing concentrates on reverence, who when mourning concentrates on grief should definitely be all right. (19:1, Analects This description covers most of the qualities Confucius considered virtuous: sincerity and a willingness to learn, minimal desire for material things, and loyalty. Other factors important in being virtuous included self cultivation, filial piety, extensive knowledge of ritual and poetry, humility, and a good grasp on how to conduct oneself when dealing with other people. Confucius also thought that how you go about trying to achieve something is more important than actually achieving it. Confucius believed that, because the rulers at his time were not virtuous, they did not please the common people (another important requirement for good government), and incited attacks on themselves from the other warring states. He pointed to the actions of successful historical figures as examples of good and virtuous behavior.

LC INFORMATION BULLETIN April 1998 Library of Congress Home Page Understanding the Confucian Analects Tu Wei-Ming Speaks in Bradley Lecture Series Historian, philosopher and educator Tu Wei-Ming analyzed one of the world's oldest works of social thought, the Analects of Confucius, in the Bradley Lecture series. Recorded after Confucius's death, misunderstood and maligned in the West, and denounced during the Cultural Revolution, the Confucian Analects, Professor Tu argued, nevertheless reflect a coherent, humanistic philosophy unrivaled for its sustained influence on a large number of people. Mr. Tu presented his lecture, "Personal Knowledge, Moral Community and Spiritual Transformation: Reading the Confucian Analects, on Feb. 26 to a capacity audience in the Library's Montpelier Room. Director of Scholarly Programs Prosser Gifford introduced Mr. Tu, noting that his address was the first in this year's Bradley series, a program devoted to the critique of important texts of political and social thought, to focus on "a work created outside the Atlantic world." Mr. Gifford also directed the audience's attention to two editions of the Analects supplied by the Asian Division for display. The first, "A Complete Collection of the Four Books and the Five Classics," a rare printing that dates to the Yung-lo Period of the Ming Dynasty (1403-1424), is in near pristine condition. The second, a standard 19th century English translation by Oxford orientalist James Legge, suffers from acidification.

36. Mo Tzu Article describing the teachings of China's first true philosopher. http://www.chinakongzi.net/2550/eng/mozi.htm

WWW.CHINAKONGZI.COM ENGLISH VERSION BIG5 VERSION GB VERSION ... CHINA CONFUCIUS The Confucian defender, Mencius, (371-289 BC) complained that the "words of Mozi and Yang Zhu fill the social world." Mozi advocated utilitarianism (using general welfare as a criterion of the correct daoguiding discourse) and equal concern for everyone. The Mohist movement eventually spawned a school of philosophy of language (called Later Mohists) which in turn influenced the mature form of both Daoism (Zhuangzi ca 360 BC) and Confucianism (Xunzi 298-238 BC). The core Mohist text has a deliberate argumentative style. It uses a balanced symmetry of expression and repetition that aids memorization and enhances effect. Symmetry and repetition are natural stylistic aids for Classical Chinese, which is an extremely analytic language (one that relies on word order rather than part-of-speech inflections). Three rival accounts of most of the important sections survive in the Mozi. Objective Standards and Utility Mozi attacks commonsense traditionalism (Confucianism) as a prelude to his argument for the utility standard. The attack shows that traditionalism is unreliable or inconstant. Mozi tells a story of a tribe that kills and eats their first born sons. We cannot, he observes, accept that this tradition is yimoral or renbenevolent. This illustrates, he argues, the error of treating tradition as a standard for the application of such terms. We need some extra-traditional standard to identify which tradition is right. Which should we make the constant social guide (dao)? For it to give constant guidance, we also need measurement-like standards for applying its terms of moral approval.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... C > Confucianism A B C D ... Z Confucianism By Confucianism is meant the complex system of moral, social, political, and religious teaching built up by Confucius on the ancient Chinese traditions, and perpetuated as the State religion down to the present day. Confucianism aims at making not simply the man of virtue, but the man of learning and of good manners. The perfect man must combine the qualities of saint, scholar, and gentleman. Confucianism is a religion without positive revelation, with a minimum of dogmatic teaching, whose popular worship is centered in offerings to the dead, in which the notion of duty is extended beyond the sphere of morals proper so as to embrace almost every detail of daily life. I. THE TEACHER, CONFUCIUS The chief exponent of this remarkable religion was K'ung-tze, or K'ung-fu-tze, latinized by the early Jesuit missionaries into Confucius Confucius is often held up as the type of the virtuous man without religion. His teachings, it is alleged, were chiefly ethical, in which one looks in vain for retribution in the next life as a sanction of right conduct. Now an acquaintance with the ancient religion of China and with Confucian texts reveals the emptiness of the assertion that Confucius was devoid of religious thought and feeling. He was religious after the manner of religious men of his age and land. In not appealing to rewards and punishments in the life to come, he was simply following the example of his illustrious Chinese predecessors, whose religious belief did not include this element of future retribution. The Chinese classics that were ancient even in the time of Confucius have nothing to say of
