The Significance of Confucius Thought to Modern People

The significance of Confucius thought to modern people is as follows:

Confucius was a great thinker, philosopher, educator and politician in ancient China. His thoughts and thinkers were called Confucianism, which had a far-reaching impact on China's traditional culture and social development. The Analects of Confucius is a classic work that records the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples, and it is one of the Confucian classics. The philosophical wisdom in The Analects of Confucius not only has guiding significance for ancient people, but also has important modern significance for modern people.

One of the modern significance of Confucius' thought lies in shaping a beautiful personality. Confucius believes that people should have correct moral behavior norms and be a good person. In the Analects of Confucius, Confucius once said: "No one is perfect, and gold is not full of red", which shows that human beings can't be perfect, but as long as they adhere to moral standards and make constant efforts, they can get closer to perfection.

Benevolence is the core of Confucius' moral code, which requires people to respect and care for others from the bottom of their hearts, which is also one of the most important qualities in modern society. The second modern significance of Confucius' thought lies in advocating practice. Confucius believes that the source of knowledge lies in practice, not books, and he advocates practice, practice and practice again.

In the Analects of Confucius, Confucius emphasized the importance of practice and put forward the famous saying, "Learning is better than doing it." . Confucius' pragmatic thought points out an important problem in modern social education: knowledge should be combined with practice, and practice is the best way to test knowledge.

The life of Confucius characters

Confucius' ancestor was Shang Tang, an aristocrat in Yi Li (now Xiayi County, Henan Province) in Song Dynasty and the founding monarch of Shang Dynasty. After the rebellion of the three kingdoms in the early Zhou Dynasty, in order to appease the nobles and future generations of the Shang Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou appointed his younger brother Wei to establish the Song Kingdom in Shangqiu and worship Yin Shang as emperor. After Wei's death, his brother succeeded to the throne and was the fourteenth ancestor of Confucius.

Zudekong's family is very kind to Kong's father. Kong was a doctor in the Song Dynasty. He used to be a fu, and his fief was in the territory of the Song Dynasty. Later, he was killed by Taizai Huadu in the civil strife in the imperial court. Jin Mu and Jin Mu, the fathers of Confucius' father Jiazi, prayed for their father and their son Kong Fang's uncle. Uncle Liang Gan, the grandson of Uncle Kong Fang, is the father of Confucius. Shu Lianggan fled to Lu (now Qufu City, Shandong Province) to escape the war in Song Dynasty. His official position is Dr. Joy.
