1. Hello young man i'm
Kong Qiu but call me
confucius, I will be
telling you my story!
This is where I was
born, its called LU.
Ok Mr
Confucius
sir
2. I was a social philosopher and thinker
of the Zhou period, i focused on
personal and public rights and
correctness on social relationships.
I was born at Lu in 552c.
and sadly passed away in
479 BC. NO original text of
what i taught have been
found in your modern day
time, but my followers
wrote down some of the
philosophy centuries after
my death!
Fun fact
Confucianism is
focussed on
human morality
AND GOOD DEEDS.
3. My ideas are mainly known for
almost 500 statements and
observations
The statement and
observations are called
Lun Yu or The Analects
I have been said to
treat my followers
just as I treat my
family.
4. Society is based on strong
family loyalty, ancestor
worship and respect of elders
like me!
Are you getting all
of this
Yes mr Confucus
sir
Fun Fact
Confucius' father
died when
confucius was
only three years
of age.
5. I had little widespread
influence in China during my
lifetime up until the start of
the Qin period that my ideas had
gained importance
Some people said that
Confucianism had the
most influence on
chinas religious culture
then any other
philosophy
6. In Confucianism their
are various gods and
ancestors
I travelled from region
to region with a small
group of disciples just
to teach other the ways
of confucianism
Fun Fact
There are 6,300,00
people in the
world that
practise
confucianism
7. At some points in my
life i thought that i was
a failure because i was
not famous for my
teachings
My ethical teaching
includes the following
values
Li- ritual etiquette
hsiao- love within family
Yi-righteousness
xin- honesty and
trustworthiness
jen- loyalty
Fun Fact
Confucus
married at the
young age of 19
and had one boy
and two girls.
8. confucianism says that you can't eat food
that:
Have rotted or turn stale
Smell bad or have changed in colour
They are not in season or has been
preserved
Have been cooked much earlier before
eating
Are overcooked or badly handled
Reheated, damaged by heat or stored in
damp place.
Are meat that have been kept for more
than 3 days.
What Should be eaten is: a balance diet should consists of rice,
meat and vegetables.
Rice must be the staple and make up the largest proportion of
the meal.
Meat is nutritional but hard on the digestive system, so it should
be taken in reasonable amount.
Vegetables are great supplements, but must never replace the
first two.
Our meals should consist of a variety of colors and tastes,
and have an inviting in aroma.
9. Throughout your
modern world their
are five schools that
teach confucianism
The Han confucianism,
the neo-confucianism,
Korean confucianism,
Japanese confucianism
and Singapore
confucianism.
I once said that if
you chose a job you
like you will never
have to work a day in
your life
This means that you will
be doing what you enjoy
so really you don't have
to work.
Fun Fact
confucius divorced
his wife after four
years of marriage.
