Tang-Confucianism

Confucianism By: Cam Chiasson

Confucianism had a huge impact on how the Chinese lived their life. Confucianism is a code of conduct it all revolved around the Chinese government, attitude, and education. Confucianism is far from being a form of religion. It did not revolve around god, or gods, and certainly did not believe in life after death. It was basically a philosophy of life. It was very much like Buddhism.

Confucius was also known as kung-futz. He originally wanted to be a politician, and also a prime minister. Surprisingly he failed. He then decided to preach good morals and good conduct. While he was preaching good morals and conduct, he also had one golden rule. “What you don’t want done to yourself doesn’t do to other”. He then began making his own laws, and by 210 B.C. they were encrypted into the Chinese law.

One-way to please the god was to be nice to other people, and be generous. One thing that follows Confucianism is to try and keep harmony and peace, to lots of the world. Confucius went from place to place trying to spread his ideas to help make the world a better place to live.

Confucianism did not believe in text books and other books used to learn with. They only believed in preaching different lessons. He soon became known all over china, and his tenuous are still used until this day. Confucius was also a very strict teacher, and did not like any fooling around. Confucianism was definitely not the easiest life to live
