Confucius (55 BC1~ 479 BC) was a great philosopher in China, a master of China's cultural thought and the founder of Confucianism. His philosophy advocates benevolence, propriety, rule by virtue, education and people-oriented. Confucianism has penetrated into the life and culture of China people and influenced a large part of people in other parts of the world for nearly two thousand years.

Confucius' famous mountain, the word Zhong Ni. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Yi (Qufu, Shandong Province) was born in a declining aristocratic family in the Song Dynasty and studied hard. He used to be a "Confucian" (the aristocrat lost his son) and opened a private school in middle age. He was once appointed as the commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief of Lu. Four years later, he was assassinated by the villains and abandoned his post. Thirteen years later, he returned to Shandong in his later years to continue giving lectures and sorting out ancient books. The Analects of Confucius (twenty chapters) is a record of Confucius' words and deeds by his disciples and his re-disciples.

Confucius is often regarded as the founder of a religion, but this is not true. Confucius seldom talked about God, refused to discuss the afterlife and avoided any form of metaphysics. He has a profound understanding of the relationship between life, and his theory was not founded by him. Strictly speaking, he is just a master of China's cultural thoughts. He is a contemporary philosopher who attaches importance to personal morality and behavior.

Confucius regards "benevolence" and "righteousness" as the highest principles of morality, and he regulates the behavior of noble people. "Benevolence" can sometimes be understood as "love", but we'd better understand it as caring for human beings. "Rite" is the sum of morality, etiquette, rules and traditions.
