Confucianism is a belief in the teachings of Confucius, who lived in
ancient China from 551 to 479 BC. His teachings were based on a moral
code for human relations with emphasis on the importance of tradition
and rites. He was one of the most eminent thinkers of the time, a great
sage and educator whose philosophy has deeply influenced the political,
economic and social systems of China through the ages. He has also been
hailed as an exemplary mentor for all ages. The major festival of Confucianism
is the birthday of Confucius, which falls on the 27th day of the eighth
moon. |
