Confucius:
Confucius (5565438 BC+April 479 BC165438 BC+479 BC), surnamed Kong, was born in Taocheng, Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his ancestral home was Li Yi (now Xiayi County, Henan Province), a great thinker in ancient China.
Character life:
Confucius' ancestor was Shang Tang, an aristocrat in Yi Li (now Xiayi County, Henan Province) in Song Dynasty and the founding monarch of Shang Dynasty. After the rebellion of the three kingdoms in the early Zhou Dynasty, in order to appease the nobles and future generations of the Shang Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou appointed his younger brother Wei to establish the Song Kingdom in Shangqiu and worship Yin Shang as emperor. After Wei's death, his brother succeeded to the throne and was the fourteenth ancestor of Confucius.
The sixth ancestor got Kong's family and was Kong's father. Kong was a doctor in the Song Dynasty. He used to be a fu, and his fief was in the territory of the Song Dynasty. Later, he was killed by Taizai Huadu in the civil strife in the imperial court. Confucius' father Jia Jin's father and son prayed for their father and their son's uncle. Uncle Liang Gan, the grandson of Uncle Kong Fang, is the father of Confucius. In order to avoid the war in Song Dynasty, Uncle Liang Gan fled to Lu Guocheng to settle down, and his official position was a doctor in the city.
Moral theory:
Confucius constructed a complete ideological system of "virtue and virtue": he advocated the virtue and virtue of "benevolence and courtesy" at the individual level. The ideological system of Tao Te Ching is a complete ideological system based on the theory of goodness of human nature, aiming at establishing the two poles of human beings ("three-pole Tao"), connecting human nature with heaven, and transforming the golden mean into methodology in due course.
Confucius founded the moral theory with benevolence as the core. He is also a kind person, compassionate, helpful, sincere and generous. Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you, the beauty of a gentleman as an adult, the evil of a villain as an adult, grovelling, lightly blaming others and so on. These are his principles of life.
Confucius' theory of benevolence embodies the humanistic spirit. Confucius' study of etiquette embodies the spirit of etiquette, that is, order and system in the modern sense. Humanism is the eternal theme of mankind, which is applicable to any society, any era and any government, and order and institutional society are the basic requirements for establishing a civilized human society.
