Confucius Temple - Beijing China
A guide to the Confucius temple in Beijing. It was established in 478 BC, one year after Confucius's death, at the order of the Duke Ai of the State of Lu, who commanded that the Confucian residence should be used to worship and offer sacrifice to Confucius. The temple was expanded repeatedly over a period of more than 2000 years until it became the huge complex currently standing.

Confucius Pt. 1 of 2
By Cale Klein through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell, opensourcebuddhism.org This is a nice overview of the thought and life of Confucius. His intention comes out very clearly in this work replete with a number of images of Confucius and a nice cloud background. Quite a number of quotes emerge depicting the core of his thought: social life, pleasure and work and ritual make up the good life. So opposite Laozi, also discussed, Confucius sees the Dao in human rather than strictly natural terms. Klein notes the striving toward the gentleman ideal, the need to cultivate moral examples for governance and thus, create an inner moral sense among the people. I thought we might have benefited from seeing more images, say of maps in China relevant to the discussion, perhaps some other Confucian notables. The music is very appropriately Chinese and the narration is excellent with the exception of mispronouncing Dao as Tayo. Also, no image sources! Oops! Still, production quality is very good as is the intellectual content it illustrates. Grade A work.

Searching For Confucius
Does Confucianism have relevance today or was it simply a tool of the elite to repress the underclass? For 2500 years Confucius has cast a long and tantalizing shadow. So influential and pragmatic is his philosophy that anyone of Chinese origin must have some knowledge of this ancient sage's work to truly understand their heritage. For the rest of humanity, whether realized or not, the old philosopher has left his mark on just about everyone's way of thinking. This hour-long documentary tells the story of a modern day quest to rediscover Confucius by examining his life and times. The program's host, Canadian-born writer Wayson Choy, grew up in an immigrant household where Confucian principles were strictly adhered. Such tradition brought suffering to a family struggling to make its way in an alien world, but it also produced a strong backbone, self-discipline and an important code of behavior. Wayson travels to China, the homeland of his parents, where he walks in Confucius' footsteps. He travels to a cave in the village of Zouyi where Confucius was born over 2500 years ago and completes the journey at the Confucius Cemetery where the philosopher died in 479 BC It's a dramatic, picturesque and exciting journey. Along the way, our host talks with authorities on Confucius philosophy as well as ordinary people. We learn that Confucius was the first private teacher in China who believed that education makes the man; that adhering to one's ethics is more important than ...

Confucianism
Confucianism is a way of life taught by Confucius in the 6th--5th century BC. Sometimes viewed as a philosophy, sometimes as a religion, Confucianism is perhaps best understood as an all-encompassing humanism that neither denies nor slights Heaven. Confucianism has been followed by the Chinese for more than two millennia. It has deeply influenced spiritual and political life in China; its influence has also extended to Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. East Asians may profess themselves to be Shintoists, Taoists, Buddhists, Muslims, or Christians - but seldom do they cease to be Confucians. Fast Facts Date founded: 6th-5th cent. BC Place founded: China Founder: Confucius (551-479 BC) Adherents: 5-6 million Confucius, the common name of Confucianism's founder, is a Latinized form of the Chinese K'ung-fu-tzu, "Master K'ung." The terms "Confucianism" and "Confucian," derived from the Latinized Confucius, are not meaningful terms in Chinese. They are western terms, coined in Europe as recently as the 18th century. The main principle of Confucianism is ren ("humaneness" or "benevolence"), signifying excellent character in accord with li (ritual norms), zhong (loyalty to one's true nature), shu (reciprocity), and xiao (filial piety). Together these constitute de (virtue). Confucianism is characterized by a highly optmistic view of human nature. The faith in the possibility of ordinary human beings to become awe-inspiring sages and worthies is deeply rooted in the Confucian heritage ...

World Religions: Confucianism
Stephen Prothero, the New York Times bestselling author of Religious Literacy, makes a fresh and provocative argument that, contrary to popular understanding, all religions are not simply different paths to the same end... and why this matters greatly for us. Readers of Huston Smith and Karen Armstrong will find much to ponder in God Is Not One. Book Description At the dawn of the twenty-first century, dizzying scientific and technological advancements, interconnected globalized economies, and even the so-called New Atheists have done nothing to change one thing: our world remains furiously religious. For good and for evil, religion is the single greatest influence in the world. We accept as self-evident that competing economic systems (capitalist or communist) or clashing political parties (Republican or Democratic) propose very different solutions to our planet's problems. So why do we pretend that the world's religious traditions are different paths to the same God? We blur the sharp distinctions between religions at our own peril, argues religion scholar Stephen Prothero, and it is time to replace naïve hopes of interreligious unity with deeper knowledge of religious differences. In Religious Literacy, Prothero demonstrated how little Americans know about their own religious traditions and why the world's religions should be taught in public schools. Now, in God Is Not One, Prothero provides readers with this much-needed content about each of the eight great religions ...

During this long period Vietnam was influenced by China's technology as well as its culture. Vietnam never lost her self identity but she did absorb many things from China, some more than others and one of the things that she did readily accept and implement was Confucianism and the examination system. In 939 the Vietnamese rebel forces were able to push the Chinese out in one of many battles between the two, but this time Vietnam became an independent state.

Confucianism (Window on Korean Culture #3 유교)
Korean Confucianism is the form of Confucianism developed in Korea. One of the most substantial influences in Korean intellectual history was the introduction of Confucian thought as part of the cultural influence from China. Today the legacy of Confucianism remains a fundamental part of Korean society, shaping the moral system, the way of life, social relations between old and young, high culture, and is the basis for much of the legal system. Confucianism in Korea is sometimes considered a pragmatic way of holding a nation together without the civil wars and internal dissent that was inherited from the Goryeo dynasty, and before.

Discovering China - Confucius
Today, we are going to be starting off this first episode talking about Confucius. And if you are talking about notable figures in Chinese history, Confucius is a great place to start—because he really is the philosopher who defined Chinese society for the past two thousand years. Confucius is thought to have lived from 551 to 479 BC, during the so-called 'Spring and Autumn Period,' when China's Zhou Dynasty was slowly splitting up. This era later turned into the 'Warring States Period,' before China was unified again in around 200 BC. Confucius was born in the state of Lu. This is the modern day Shandong province. Now, at the time when Confucius was born, China was kind of like Medieval Europe. Different states were competing with each other for power. Confucius saw morality deteriorating and the aristocracy turning their back on the traditions of the Zhou Dynasty that Confucius viewed as a kind of Golden Age. Confucius felt he had a mission to return China to its former glory, to return to the 'Way' or Dao. Today, the Dao refers to China's traditional culture of self-cultivation and emphasis on the way of virtue. Confucius felt people in his age had lost true respect for the established rituals and norms of society. They merely carried out the formalities—without really understanding the true essence. To use the words of the time, "The world lacked the Dao." Thus Confucius started his mission of educating the populace. Confucius taught his disciples to become Gentlemen ...
