Kong Qiu (September 28th, 55 BC 1 year ~ April 479 BC1year), whose name was Zhong Ni. The second child, Han nationality, was from Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Confucius was a great thinker and educator in ancient China, the founder of Confucianism and one of the most famous cultural celebrities in the world. Linked with Confucius' theory of benevolence, righteousness and propriety, in the general plan of governing the country, he advocated "governing the country by virtue", which is the noblest way to govern the country. This strategy of governing the country is also called "rule by virtue" or "rule by courtesy". In fact, this strategy broke the traditional creed that courtesy is no less than Shu Ren's, and broke the original important boundary between nobles and civilians.
Confucius' theory of benevolence embodies the spirit of human nature, while Confucius' theory of propriety embodies the spirit of etiquette, that is, order and system in the modern sense. Humanism is the eternal theme of mankind, which is applicable to any society, any era and any government, and order and institutional society are the basic requirements for establishing a civilized human society. This humanitarianism and order spirit of Confucius is the essence of China's ancient social and political thought.

He is the author of Mencius. Inherited and carried forward Confucius' thoughts, and became a generation of Confucian masters second only to Confucius, known as "saints" and collectively known as "Confucius and Mencius" with Confucius. There is a work, Mencius, which is handed down to later generations.
