About This Book
While Confucius, who lived 2500 years ago, is the most influential person in China's history, few facts are known about his life. Legends, writings and biographies have accreted round his name and teachings so that it is difficult to sift facts from speculation. This accessible account of Confucius and Confucian teaching discusses why and how these remain relevant in today's world where he is at times worshipped in temples and is generally regarded as an embodiment of the best in China's philosophy and civilisation. Impacts of Confucianism outside China in the diaspora and in Vietnam, Korea, and Japan are described and discussed. With black-and-white illustrations, bibliography and index.
