READ MY BOOK!

My book The Analects has been out for many a millennium. But that doesn't mean you can't pick yourself up a copy! It has never really gone out of print. The philosophy I founded (Confucianism) is still alive and well today.





This book has all of my teachings inside of it. Including:

"Fathers should display high moral values to inspire their families."

and who could forget,

"Children should respect and obey their parents."

You also can't forget,

"Moral leadership, not laws, brought order to China."

"A king should lead by example, inspiring good behavior in all of his subjects."

My teachings have lasted in Chinese culture for a long time. While I no longer make money off of the books that are sold, I don't care. Who needs money when you have family and high moral standards?

Confucius say

People sometimes ask me why I stopped working for the government and became a teacher. The truth is I really could see no other way to solve the world's problems than to teach people how not to cause problems.

In my day China was overrun with rude and dishonest people. Really all they cared about was themselves and money. China was truly in disorder due to the people's lack of decency.

I wanted people to take a step back. I wanted them to look back at the time of our ancestors and see what kind of noble and honorable societies they had. Back then everyone knew their role in society and it made everything run smoothly.

That is why I became a teacher. I wanted people to be more ethical and have higher moral values. I wanted people to focus less on power and more on family. My main thing is that I wanted people to be virtuous, kind, and good students.

Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart

Emperor Zhou tagged me in this online survey. I don't understand his reasoning. He says that people need to get to know me better. He is the Emperor and I must do as he says.

You've been tagged, so you are supposed to write a note with the 3's of YOU. At the end, choose people to be tagged. You have to tag me. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you - but not in a creepy stalker kind of way.
