Confucianism Explained

This video explains the teachings of Confucius, a Chinese philosopher. His ideas about the importance of practical moral values, collected by his disciples in the Analects, formed the basis of the philosophy known as Confucianism. He taught that education is the path to moral excellence, which is central to building a harmonious society. Education is a lifelong process and the purpose of learning is to acquire virtues.

I had almost missed this addition to world civ page. A provocative question -- and a great way to introduce Confucius. Enjoyed

Very good explanation for those not familiar with Confucianism. The 5 relationship. Of the society. All have superior and subordinate or senior and junior only friends to friends is equal.

Sympathetic and knowledgeable. I've seen a couple videos on Confucianism which ridiculously enough see almost nothing else but the Golden Rule in Confucius' teaching. This video shows how much more there is to Confucianism.
Think it would be even better if a few of the other core Confucian texts could be mentioned (plus quotes from them) besides the _Analects,_ plus some of the other major figures in Confucianism, such as Mencius and Zhu Xi.

Confused about to the future? Education is the key

Love is a feeling, of utopia peace of mind. It's the feeling of being free of negative thoughts. It's the highest feeling, though can't be sustained. To get love people need to venture into places that don't offer such feelings of love. Love is a government, where the capital is a washing machine.

Is Confucianism a religion and if so does it believe in any god?

[@dr.gaosclassroom]

Great Question! Confucianism as a philosophical tradition prescribe ethical principles and political structures in its earliest form pre-Qin Dynasty before the third century BC. From the early Han Dynasty, Confucianism integrated thoughts from other schools to created a Confucian theology such as Heaven Mandates as well as the Ancestor worship adding a religious parts to the tradition. Ever since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism became both the State ideology and religion. You can check out the Book of Rites or 礼记 to find the ritual ceremonies throughout the calendar year. The Emperors of the Han sacrificed to his ancestors, heaven, earth, rivers, and mountains. Whether it was not clarified who were the gods residing the heaven, earth, rivers, or mountains. I believe that the Confucianism does not specify personified gods, it might be too hard to explain the Confucian theology here. I run a channel on Chinese philosophies and poetry. I am going to post a video in the next month or so for the Confucian cosmology as well as theology explaining the sacrificial ceremonies in a calendar month, if you would live to join me, here is the link to my philosophy video which talks about the rituals that was later integrated into Confucianist theology: th-cam.com/video/CN0YztHOnVE/w-d-xo.html

Not all ideas create gardens. Some gardens will never be connected, though all people are linked by the idea of creating gardens.
