Confucianism
Confucianism ( [ ], literally "The School of the Scholars"; or 孔教 Kŏngjiào, "") is an ancient Chinese ethical and philosophical system originally developed from the teachings of the early Chinese sage and philosopher Confucius. Its focus is primarily on non-religious secular ethicssecular morality, as well as the cultivation of the civilized individual which in turn would contribute to the establishment of a civilized society or country and ultimately world peace. Confucius was the founder of the teachings of Confucianism. Confucianism is a complex system of moralsocialpoliticalphilosophical, and quasi-religious thought which has had tremendous influence on the culture and history of East Asia up to the 21st century. Some people in Europe have considered it to have been the secular "state religion" in East Asian countries because of governmental promotion of Confucian values and needs.
