Confucius introduces himself and tells his life story. He was a philosopher born in 552 BC in Lu, China who focused on ethics and relationships. Though no original texts of his teachings exist, his followers wrote down some of his nearly 500 analects and observations after his death. Confucianism teaches morality, ancestor worship, respect for elders, and maintaining strong family loyalty and social hierarchies. Confucius had little influence during his life but his philosophy grew in importance and influenced China's culture and religion. He traveled teaching his philosophies of ethics until his death in 479 BC. Confucianism continues to be practiced by over 6 million people today.

treated
you should
treat your

same way
you would
treat
other
people,
even if they
constantly
annoy or
argue with
you.
Each person
should give
respect to
their superior.

preserved
Have been cooked much earlier before
eating
Are overcooked or badly handled
Reheated, damaged by heat or stored in

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 a inviting aroma.
