Confucius<br />
<strong>The</strong> most influential philosopher in Chinese history<br />
was born over 2,500 years ago. Confucius worked in<br />
government positions throughout his life. But, he<br />
attracted followers because of his teachings.<br />
One of his strongest beliefs was in the<br />
value of education. He felt that learning<br />
about classical subjects helped build<br />
people’s character.<br />
He also thought that certain rules<br />
of behavior should be followed in<br />
relationships. For example, children<br />
should respect their fathers. Fathers<br />
should act wisely on behalf<br />
of their children. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
ideas applied to rulers<br />
and subjects as well.<br />
Confucius believed<br />
that proper relationships<br />
formed the basis<br />
of order in society.<br />
Confucius is known as<br />
one of the greatest<br />
teachers who ever lived.<br />
