It may seem impossible to arrive at a reliable picture of the historical Confucius through the layers of tradition that obscure it. Although he himself recorded the traditions and his own thoughts, we do not possess a line which in its present form can definely be attributed to him. (Some) believe that Confucius cannot have known the I Ching, which according to tradition was the object of his studies in the last years of his life. (Others) hold that Lao Tzu, who according to tradition was Confucius' honored master, lived considerably after him. The texts offer plausible arguments on both sides. Nevertheless, though many details remain in doubt, we can obtain a historical picture on the basis of those passages in the copious texts which can most convincingly be attributed to him. Through these texts we discern the remarkable unity of his personality, which in many points contrasts with later Chinese portraits."

    Philosophe, éminent pédagogue et homme politique, Confucius est " (...) l'une des grandes figures de la civilisation de la Chine ancienne et le fondateur du système éducatif féodal.(...) Dans l'Antiquité, Confucius était considéré comme le «premier des sages», et le «modèle de dix mille générations». De nos jours, on reconnaît en lui une des grandes figures de la civilisation . Sa contribution à l'éducation et le rôle remarquable et durable qu'il a joué dans ce domaine lui assurent une place exceptionnelle dans l'histoire nationale et internationale non seulement de l'éducation, mais aussi dans celle de la culture. La conception de l'école dont il fut le père est d'une portée qui est encore sensible aujourd'hui. Depuis quelques années, Confucius est de nouveau à la mode, il redevenant un sujet d'étude et d'évaluation de l'actualité de sa philosophie même." ( Yang Huanyin, "Confucius (K'Ung Tzu) (-551/-479)", Perspectives , vol. XXIII, n° 1- 2, mars-juin 1993, p. 215-223)

Cette époque féodale, politiquement très troublée, connaît une grande fermentation intellectuelle. Les Princes entretiennent des Ecoles de morale et de politique, dirigées par des maîtres qui ont une clientèle personnelle de disciples qui peuvent se compter par centaines. (Selon certains auteurs c'est à cette époque qu'aurait vécu Sun Zi, (Sun Tzu, Sun Tsu), l'auteur du Ping Fa, un traité sur l'art de la guerre, notamment la guerre idéologique, publié chez Flammarion, Paris 1972.

    Confucius (c. 551-479 BCE) Better known in China as “Master Kong” (Chinese: Kongzi ), Confucius was a fifth-century BCE Chinese thinker whose influence upon East Asian intellectual and social history is immeasurable. As a culturally symbolic figure, he has been alternately idealized, deified, dismissed, vilified, and rehabilitated over the millennia by both Asian and non-Asian thinkers and regimes. Given his extraordinary impact on Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese thought, it is ironic that so little can be known about Confucius. The tradition that bears his name – “Confucianism” (Chinese: Rujia ) – ultimately traces itself to the sayings and biographical fragments recorded in the text known as the Analects (Chinese: Lunyu ). As with the person of Confucius himself, scholars disagree about the origins and character of the Analects , but it remains the traditional source for information about Confucius’ life and teaching. Most scholars remain confident that it is possible to extract from the Analects several philosophical themes and views that may be safely attributed to this ancient Chinese sage.

    Temple of Confucius
    Last updated: April 20, 2004 Home Attractions By City Beijing
    The Temple of Confucius in Beijing is located on Guozijian Street, inside Anding Gate. Sacrifices were made to Confucius during the Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368), Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) and Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) at this temple. Now, the temple houses the Capital Museum.
    The Temple of Confucius was initially built in 1302 and additions were made during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Temple has a 600-year-old history. Compared with the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong Province, it is the second largest temple constructed for Confucius, the greatest thinker and educationist in ancient China.
    On either side of the front courtyard, 198 stone tablets are arranged. These tablets bear the names of 51,624 Jinshi of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, who passed the triennial imperial examinations. The tablets are material evidence of the imperia examination system in ancient China.
    Inside the temple are more than 100 ancient trees.

    The first and most notable is CONFUCIUS (K'ung Fu Tzu) , who was born in 551 B.C. and died in 479 B.C. in the state of Lu. His ancestry is unknown and was largely self-educated according to the history. Later became a teacher, philosopher and political theorist, but was unable to gain a worthwhile position where he could put his theories into practice and, after years of traveling, returned home to continue teaching until his death at the age of 72. Although during his lifetime he had little influence outside his own band of disciples, Confucianism has been the dominant philosophical system in China for over 2000 years.
    Confucianism The principles of Confucianism are contained in 6 different ancient classical Chinese books: (A) Ng King (Five Classics): Yi King Si King Shui King Chun Chau Lai Kay (B) Say Sue Lun Yu is the collection of Confucius teachings which form the basic philosophy.

    History:
    K'ung Fu Tzu (commonly pronounced Confucius in English) was born in 551 BCE in the state of Lu (modern day Shantung Province). He lived during the Chou dynasty, and era known for its moral laxity. Later in life, he wandered through many states of China, giving advice to their rulers. He accumulated a small band of students during this time. The last years of his life were spent back in Lu, where he devoted himself to teaching. His writings deal primarily with individual morality and ethics, and the proper exercise of political power by the rulers. In China, and some other areas in Asia, the social ethics and moral teachings of Confucius are blended with the Taoist communion with nature and Buddhist concepts of the afterlife, to form a set of complementary, peacefully co-existent and ecumenical religions. There are approximately 6 million Confucians in the world. About 26,000 live in North America; almost all of the remainder are found throughout China and the rest of Asia.

    Confucius (551-479 B.C.) Confucius may rightly be regarded as the first great Chinese philosopher. Although some later Chinese would develop a Confucian religion, Confucius was no religious leader nor did he claim any special divine status. Confucius was, in fact, merely one who sought to teach those around him the meaning of virtue, piety, good government and filial duty. Confucius' family was from the lesser aristocracy that had fallen on hard times when he was born in 551 B.C. in the province of Lu. He was born into the family of K'ung and was given the name Ch'iu; in later life he was called "Master Kung": K'ung Fu-tzu, from which the Latin form, Confucius, is derived. He began a successful political career as a young man, rising quickly in the ranks of government, but at some point fell out of favor. Although his personal goal was to restore peace and orderliness to the province, he found himself dismissed from government when he was still quite young. He never returned to public life. Instead he turned to teaching, hoping that he could change the world by changing its leaders at a young age. Confucius' students recorded these teachings and this is what comes down to us as the Analects . Two other Confucian teachings are recorded in The Great Learning and The Doctrine of the Mean . In many respects, 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.

    Confucius and the Family of Man
    By Raymond Rugland Generations of scholars have attempted to put this great Chinese teacher and reformer under the magnifying glass to try to separate the man from the myth. Confucius, who lived from 551-479 BC, was himself a magnifying glass. Because he loved the ancients, scholars since his day have been permitted glimpses of ancient China that go back 6,000 years before his time ( The Wisdom of Confucius edited by Miles Menander Dawson). He was able, like the magnifying glass, to receive the rays of the divine sun, pass them through his great heart and leave a light that has lighted the pathway of ordinary men for 2,400 years. We cannot separate the man from the myth nor would we want to do so. Who is wise enough to make the separation? Confucius said, "There is nothing more visible than what is secret, and nothing more manifest than what is minute" ( The Doctrine of the Mean I: 3). He also said, "How abundantly do spiritual beings display the powers that belong to them! We look for them, but do not see them; we listen to, but do not hear them; yet they enter into all things, and there is nothing without them" (16: 1-2). Confucius was far more than a disappointed seeker for political office who considered his life a failure. He was a superior man of long evolution far ahead of the pack who loved the ancients and humanity and who had a spiritual message so simple and direct, its words can still work magic. Confucius was a native of the state of Lu, a part of modern Shantung. Shuh-liang Heih, the father of Confucius, was commandant of the district of Tsow [Zow]. The man had been desperate for a son after his first wife presented him with nine daughters. Later, at age 70, he married a peasant girl, still hoping for a son. During her pregnancy, she sought the blessing of Mount Ni, promising that if her child were a male, she would name him Chung-ni which means little hillock. The baby was born with a bump on his head that never went away.

    http://www.studyworld.com/Confucius.htm
    Home Biography Historical Figures BIOGRAPHY : Historical Figures Confucius Confucius was born 551 BC in Ch'u-fu, state of Lu (Now Shantung province in China). He was originally named KUung ChUiu but his title was Latinized when his teachings were introduced to the West by Catholic missionaries in the early 17th century. He is said to be Chinas most famous and important, teacher, philosopher, and political theorists and his teachings have influenced the civilizations of all eastern Asia. While little is know about his early life it is believed his family was of the impoverished nobility and he was orphaned at a early age, grew up poor and was largely self educated. While he was always searching for a greater enlightenment, learning was not his greatest priority, he focused much of his interest in the political and social problems of the time. He was born during the downfall of the Chou dynasty and much of the country was in turmoil. Many of Confucius' sayings show the strength that he felt backed up his philosophical teachings. One example is, "The commander of a great army may be carried off, but the will of a common man cannot be taken from him." Or, "The superior man is always calm and at ease; the inferior man is always worried and full of distress. The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what is profitable. The superior man makes demands on himself; the inferior man makes demands on others." Toward the end of his life Confucius said, "At 15, I set my heart on learning. At 30, I was firmly established. At 40, I had no more doubts. At 50, I knew the will of Heaven. At 60, I was ready to listen to it. At 70, I could follow my heart's desires without transgressing what was right."

    551-479 BC
    Confucius is the dominant Chinese philosopher both morally and politically. He spent most of his life directly teaching a small group of disciples. He reportedly said, "In education there are no class distinctions" , which demonstrated his belief in the equality and ability for all men to learn. His family name was Kung; his given name, fu-tzu, and his style, or chosen name, Chung-ni. He was born during the Spring and Autumn era in 551 B.C.. in the city of Tzouyi of the state of Lu now modern day Chufu, Shantung Province and died in 479 B.C. at the age of 73. Since Confucius was a contemporary of Socrates it is said that the East and the West greatestb philosophical sages actually lived during the same time. To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.

    I didn't want to at first, but it was an intramural competition meant for beginners, and one of my friends on the University team was trying to convince me. She didn't succeed at first, until she whispered in my ear, "Don't you want to know how it feels to be Fred Astaire....?" Next thing I know, I'm rehearsing a quickstep with a girl I've never met before. She was devastatingly gorgeous, heart-stoppingly blonde, and sadly taken. We rehearsed for four hours spread over a week. Come Sunday afternoon, I knotted a knit tie around my waist, slipped on my two-tone shoes, adjusted my tie, and off I went. My partner (who is a competitive
    dancer) made me look good, and despite my nervousness and fear, stumbling frequently, kicking her in the shins twice, and stepping on her feet once, we somehow made it through four rounds before being eliminated in the semi-finals.

    s Confucianism How did Confucianism begin?
    A Chinese philosopher named K'ung Fu-tzu or Confucius, the Westernized version, believed that a society could become perfect, if the people who lived in it exhibited "beautiful conduct." Confucius was born in 551 B.C.E. He had a government job which he gave up to devote his life to teaching people how to behave. Today over five million people, mostly in China and the Far East, practice Confucianism.
    What did Confucius teach people?
    Confucius taught people five basic ideas about behavior:
    Always be considerate to others.
    Respect your ancestors.
    Try for harmony and balance in all things.
    Avoid extremes in behavior and emotion.
    If you live in peace and harmony, then you will be in contact with the spiritual forces of the universe, including nature.
    Confucius taught five basic virtues:
    1) kindness 2) righteousness 3) sobriety 4) wisdom 5) trustworthiness Confucius also taught that your well-being depends directly on the well-being of others. This principle is called Jen. Jen stresses the importance of showing courtesy and loyalty to other people. Those who practice Confucianism also believe the family and family values are very important. Children are taught to be very respectful of their parents and are taught to obey their parents.

    The Analects by K'ung Fu-tsu (Confucius)
    Book 1
    The Master said, "Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant perseverance and application? "Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? "Is he not a man of complete virtue, who feels no discomposure though men may take no note of him?"
    The philosopher Yu said, "They are few who, being filial and fraternal, are fond of offending against their superiors. There have been none, who, not liking to offend against their superiors, have been fond of stirring up confusion. "The superior man bends his attention to what is radical. That being established, all practical courses naturally grow up. Filial piety and fraternal submission,-are they not the root of all benevolent actions?"
    The Master said, "Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue."
    The philosopher Tsang said, "I daily examine myself on three points:-whether, in transacting business for others, I may have been not faithful;-whether, in intercourse with friends, I may have been not sincere;-whether I may have not mastered and practiced the instructions of my teacher."

Li Li, a 25-year-old aspiring writer from Guangzhou, probably realized as much in June when launching her weblog, "Love Letters Before Dying." Under the pen name Muzimei ("Wooden Beauty"), Li Li provided lurid details of her unusually hyperactive sex life, naming names some of them famous.
