Confucius (Kong Zi 孔子 )

• China’s most famous ancient philosopher and educator, was the founder of Confucianism. Born in 551 B.C., Confucius studied to become proficient in the Six Classical Arts: ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and arithmetic. At age 22, Kong Zi founded a private school, moving away from the traditional style of Chinese education. He proposed good conduct and benevolence (ren), and observance of rites (li) as the foundation of harmonious relationships at every level of society

Page 8: Confucian Philosophy and Portraits

• Confucius is considered to be one of the greatest philosophers of China and has had an enormous impact on not just Chinese culture and civilization but also the cultures and civilizations of other East and South East Asian countries. Confucius lived more than twenty five hundred years ago and more than half a million people in China and abroad can trace their descent to Confucius.

Nanjing Confucius Temple (Fuzimiao)

• The Confucius Temple in Nanjing was originally constructed in the year of 1034 in the Song Dynasty. It was a place to worship and consecrate Confucius, the great philosopher and educator of ancient China. It is also known as Fuzimiao in Chinese. This temple suffered repeated damage and has been rebuilt on several occasions since that time. 1937 was the most destruction when it was burnt to ruin by Japanese aggressors. In 1984 the temple was rebuilt under the support of the local government. During the long process, the original building expanded to be a complex building in the architectural style of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, including the Confucius Temple itself, the Jiangnan Gongyuan (the place of imperial examinations) and the Xue Gong (the Imperial Academy). The complex is still called the Confucius Temple out of habit by locals and visitors.
