The philosophy of Confucius emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the Hundred Schools of Thought era only to be suppressed in favor of the Legalists during the Qin Dynasty.

    "Master Kong", 551–479 BC). Confucianism originated as an "ethical-sociopolitical teaching" during the Spring and Autumn Period, but later developed metaphysical and cosmological elements in the Han Dynasty.[1] Following the abandonment of Legalism in China after the Qin Dynasty, Confucianism became the official state ideology of China. The core of Confucianism is humanism,[2] the belief that human beings are teachable, improvable and perfectible through personal and communal endeavor especially including self-cultivation and self-creation.…

    Six Records of a Floating Life

    Shen Fu was a Chinese writer and art dealer who lived during the Qing Dynasty. He had a very strong love for his wife Chen Yun and she is the inspiration for his book “Six Records of a Floating Life”, which vividly describes their life and love together. Shen Fu discusses the happiness that he found in marriage to his cousin Yun, in his first chapter, “Joys of the Wedding Chamber”. He then goes into detail, and is even reminiscent, about enjoying the little things and his experiences with them in the second part of his book, “Pleasure of Leisure”. Next Shen Fu talks about the adversities that he and Yun have to experience, in their sometimes-trying relationship together, with his chapter “The Sorrow of Misfortune”. This is a chapter about his financial burdens and depression that he started to incur from his stress during that time. The final chapter that Shen Fu writes about in his book, is much different than his last one because his spirits are lifted and he describes his love for traveling and taking in the sights of the world with “The Delights of Roaming Afar”. These are the reasons as to why he wrote this book, to share with the world his story of love, adversity, and prosperity all while expressing his deeply rooted admiration and sentiment for his wife, Chen Yun.…

    Neo Confucianism Analysis

It maintained that the world is real, not an illusion, and that in order to be fulfilled, one must participate not withdraw. Zhu Xi was the primary contributor to Neo-Confucianism, he accepted that the world would be divided into a material world and a transcendent world.

The Qin Dynasty had distrusted Confucianism and the work of other earlier scholars, which resulted in a massive book burning; however, many dedicated scholars had hidden and/or memorized whole works. Ancient books recovered this way were called the Confucian classics and “were revered as repositories of the wisdom of the past” (McKay,…

    The Analects of Confucius

    The Analects of Confucius, a collection of sayings and ideas of Confucianism, was compiledby the followers of Confucius mostly in the form of dialogues. The last chapter, “[Emperor] Yao Said,” is the briefest chapter in the book. One school of thought holds that it is just a collection of leftovers. I come from the school of thought that the last chapter concludes Confucius’s theme of politics as well as philosophy with an inseparable connection with the other chapters in the analects.…

    Neo-Confucianism vs Confucianism Essay Example

    Confucianism had changed over the centuries since the death of Confucius in 479 B.C. Confucius’s teachings that were recorded by his followers in the Analects, were still a big guide, as were the texts that came to be called the Confucian classics, which had poetry, historical records, moral and ritual instruction, and a divine manual. But the issues stressed by Confucian teachers changed as Confucianism became associated with the state from about 100 BCE on, and as it had competition from Buddhism, from the second century BCE onward. Confucian teachers responded to the challenge of Buddhist beliefs by developing their own story of the natural and human world.…
