Confucius is the inheritor of ancient culture in China and the founder of Confucian culture for more than 2,000 years.

Conceptual influence

Historically, the Xia Dynasty respected "destiny" and the Shang Dynasty believed in "ghosts and gods", but in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou began to "ritual and music system", "morality and prudence" and turned to "ritual and music civilization". This is a great leap in China's culture and civilization.

Confucius did not talk about the so-called "destiny" and "ghosts and gods" by will and efficacy, but took a keen interest in the ritual and music civilization of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Confucius was the first person who led China to change from "theism" to "atheism".

Literary influence
