What is Confucianism? The ancient wisdom that shaped China

Confucianism is the philosophy of Kong Qiu (Confucius, 551–479 BC), which emerged during the Chinese Spring and Autumn period and advocates the moral transformation of the individual as the foundation of social harmony. Using the concepts of Ren (humanity), Li (rites), Xiao (filial piety), and the ideal of Junzi ("noble person"), Confucius influenced education and politics in Imperial China, as well as in Vietnam, Korea, and Japan, emphasizing personal virtue rather than strict laws. #History
