One of the most famous people in ancient China was a wise
philosopher named Confucius (circa 551-479 BC). He sometimes went
by the names Kong Zi though he was born - Kong Qiu - styled Zhong
Ni. He was born in the village of Zou in the country of Lu.
This chinese man was a well-known leader in philosophy and he also
made many wise phrases and theories about the law, life, and the
government. Philosophy is a kind of a system of ideas and thoughts
that talk about the human´s behavior, the rules that you should
follow to make a successful life, and about the government.
In other words, it´s about thoughts and theories that teach other
people lessons about principles, or rules, about life and it also
teaches you a moral ( sort of like the morals that are at the end
of a fable). Confucius is famous for his philosophy because he made
many wise sayings in ancient China that helped many people learn
about nature, the world, and the human behavior. He also helped the
government and the emperor by teaching them lessons on how the
emperor should rule his kingdom successfully.
Confucius was born in a poor family in the year 551 B.C., and he
was born in the state of Lu. His original name was K´ung Ch´iu. His
father, commander of a district in Lu, died three years after
Confucius was born, leaving the family in poverty; but Confucius
nevertheless received a fine education. He was married at the age
of 19 and had one son and two daughters. He worked as a keeper of a
market. Then he was a farm worker who took care of parks and farm
animals. When he was 20, he worked for the governor of his
district.
