KONG HU-CU (551 BC - 479 BC)

It is true, Kong Hu Cu great Chinese philosopher. And no doubt, he was the first developer to integrate natural systems and the trust of the Chinese mind the most fundamental. Concerning the morality of a person's philosophy and conception of a government on ways to serve the people and orders through exemplary behavior has absorbed so blood flesh and cultural life of the Chinese people for more than two thousand years. Moreover, also affect the population of the world.

Born around the year 551 BC in the small town of Lu, now enter Shantung province in northeast mainland China. In the younger age widowed father, making life miserable on her mother's side. Time left adult he became a civil servant petty but after the lapse of a few years he decided passable dislodged alone. Throughout the next sixteen years Kong Hu Cu to be a teacher, little by little for influence and followers fad philosophy. Stepping fifty years of his star began to shine because he can high position in the city government Lu.

The good fortune apparently not always friendly because people are jealous with this act and the act was dragged to court so that not only managed to remove him from office chairs but also make him leave town. No less than thirteen years Kong Hu Cu ventured into which the foot step, so the itinerant teacher, had just returned home home five years before his death in 479 BC

Kong Hu Cu is often regarded as the founder of a religion; This assumption, of course misses. He rarely linking teaching with deity, refusing conversation netherworld, and dodge every waffle firmly associated with metaphysical questions. He is no more and no less a secular philosopher, just dealing with moral issues of political and personal and moral behavior.

There are two very important value, said Kong Hu Cu, ie "Yen" and "Li:" "Yen" is often translated with the word "love," but they are more subject to mean "Hospitality in a relationship with someone." "Li" is described as a combination of behavioral, worship, customs, manners and courtesy.

Ancestor worship, basic bin basically trust the Chinese people even before the birth of Kong Hu Cu, is confirmed again with emphasis on loyalty to the family and respect for parents. Teachings Kong Hu Cu also underlines the importance of necessity a respectful and obedient wife to her husband and a similar necessity of a citizen to his government. This is somewhat different from the Chinese folk tales that always oppose every form of tyranny. Kong Hu Cu sure, the existence of the state was none other than to serve the interests of the people, not inverted. Never bored Kong Hu Cu emphasize that the ruler should govern based first of all give the example of the moralists and instead of passing play hardball And one little teaching law similar to the "Golden Rule" of his Christian who says "What you do not like the others done to yourself, do not do it. "

Principal main view Kong Hu Cu basically very conservative. He thought, already past golden age, and he urged both the authorities and the people to return home, adhering to moral size genah, not digress. The fact that there is not an easy matter at hand. Desire Kong Hu Cu in order to govern not play snapped, but by show good example is not good at the beginning of his era. Therefore, Kong Hu Cu closer to a reformer, an innovator rather than what is actually so dreams.

Kong Hu Cu living at the time of the Chou dynasty, the heyday of intellectual life in China, while the ruler when it ignored completely the teaching message. Only after he wafatlah teachings spread to all corners of China.

Emperor Shih Huang Ti, the first emperor of the Ch'ing dynasty erased resolute followers Kong Hu Cu and cut the chain that contacted the past. Issuing daily orders squeezing creamed teachings Kong Hu Cu and move both rearview and thugs and vandals professional to do a massive search, seize all books containing the teachings of Kong Hu Cu and plunged into the campfire until it is destroyed to ashes. Depravity plan is apparently not too effective. When approaching when the collapse of the Ch'ing dynasty, adherents Kong Hu Cu bounce back and rekindle the spirits fired again doctrine Kong Hu Cu. In the next dynasty (Han dynasty in 206 BC - 220 AD). Confucianism became the official philosophy of the Chinese state.

Starting from the time of the Han Dynasty, the emperors of China level by level to develop a system of selection for those who want to be a civil servant with the exams that were so civil servants do the haphazard but has good quality standards and moral skills. After a long time the more directional selection and weighted: eye exams include basic philosophy Kong Hu Cu. Because it's so civil servants are ladder to prosperity material, please understand if among the enthusiasts of fierce battles fought for space. The next result, air-generations-fronted fronted Chinese intellectual massive amounts pursue until dizzy eyes treasures of classical writings Khong Hu Cu. And, for centuries all over the Chinese civil servants made up of people gaze rests on a philosophy of Kong Hu Cu. This system (with only slight distraction) lasted nearly two thousand years, starting in 100 BC to 1900 AD

However, the official philosophy of Confucianism is not only the Chinese government, but also accepted and internalized by most Chinese people, influential to the basics of their hearts, into the waveguide direction of thinking during a period of more than two thousand years.

There are several reasons why Confucianism had tremendous influence on the Chinese people. First, honesty and innocence Kong Hu Cu can not be doubted. Second, he was a moderate and exceedingly practical and do not ask a lot of things that are not able to be implemented person. If Kong Hu Cu want someone to be honored, that person does not have to bother to be a saint in advance. In this case, as in the case of other teachings, he reflects and simultaneously translate the practical character of the Chinese people. This aspect of the possibility of most principal factor in the success of the teachings of Kong Hu Cu. Kong Hu Cu not ask exceedingly much. For example, he did not ask the Chinese exchange fundamental beliefs ever. In fact the opposite, Kong Hu Cu join support with clean clear language so that they do not need to be edged. Apparently, no one anywhere in the world philosophers such close contact in terms of fundamental insights to the population as well as Kong Hu Cu.

Confucianism which emphasizes a series of obligations directed to individuals rather than accentuate their rights feels stodgy and less attractive to the size of the Western world. As a philosophy of state looks amazingly effective. Measured in terms of the ability of maintaining harmony and prosperity in the country of China in a period of not less than two thousand years, it is clear can be aligned with the best forms of government in the world.

The idea Kong Hu Cu philosophy rooted in Chinese culture, it is not influenced much outside of East Asia. In Korea and Japan it is obvious effect is due to both the country and it is strongly influenced by Chinese culture.

Currently in a state Guram Confucianism in China. The problem is, the Communist government trying hard to link the minds of the population with the past is lost altogether. With persistent and systematic Confucianism battered exhausted so likely a time not so far away from Earth Chinese Confucianism. But because in the past, taproot Confilcianisme so deep in the earth plunged China, it is not impossible, whether it a hundred or a hundred and fifty lahun to come - some Chinese philosophers could marry the two big ideas: Confucianism and teachings of Mao Tse-Tung.
