Confucius was born in Shandong Province, China. He was a very influential philosopher, political figure and teacher. He is very well known for “Confucianism”, which includes his views on politics, education and ethics, shared with his followers in the 5th and 6th centuries BC. It provided people with rules for thoughts and life, which focus on respect for elders, worship for ancestors, self-discipline, love for humanity and conformity to rituals. At the time of his death, he didn’t consider himself a great teacher, but his philosophy deeply influenced China and became a massive part of the educational system. The golden rule of Confucianism is: “Do not impose on others what you do not wish for yourself.”
