Confucius was a teacher, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn Period of Chinese history. He was an incredible teacher that had more than 30,000 students in such an ancient time. He dedicated his entire life in trying to improve the Chinese society of his time. Although no kings or princes paid heed to his advice and ideas during that time, his ideas were eventually adopted during the Han Dynasty.

I have been trying to find Chinese cultural genes from Confucian classics because Confucianism has a long-lasting influence in China and is far-reaching. It is the primary source of Chinese nationality. The so-called semi-the real theory of the world was not too exaggerated in ancient times. Among the Chinese culture composed of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, only Confucianism dominates politics, ethics, morality, education and other areas closely related to people's livelihood, which has the greatest impact on Chinese nationality. Many of the behaviors, social phenomena, and values of the Chinese people today can be found in the Confucian theory. Cultural characteristics were brought by the Confucian doctrine to the Chinese that today make a simple comparison between the Chinese and Western culture. Confucius proposed the concept of loyalty. The so-called loyalty is that you are dedicated to yourself; if you can do everything, you must let others do everything. It is the so-called "I want to stand and stand up, and I want to reach people ." The so-called forgiveness is something that you don't want, and you can't impose it on others. The so-called 'do what you don't want, don't do it to others, don't complain in the state, don't complain at home'. Both uphold the spirit of pushing others and people.
Loyalty and forgiveness are the extremely important moral norms of Confucianism. They are the fundamental starting point for Confucius to do things in his life. Zeng Zi once concluded that 'the way of the Master, the loyalty has been smashed'.
Confucius praised filial piety, that is, good parents, friendly brothers. The gentleman has a good job and is a stalwart.
