Confucius

Confucius was a young ingenuous philosopher who lived from 551-479 B.C. Confucius had the fantastic theory of Confucianism. The main idea of confucianism is that if the rulers are good and the men and woman of higher power represented good morals, and put the people first instead of themselves, than the people would follow their example and be good as well. When Confucius presented his idea to the government, many rejected it, although after the theory of confucianism was declined there were many people such as myself followed Confucius's writing and used it as a lifestyle choice. Eventually China had a change of heart and made Confucianism the main religion in which they would base their government off of. This changed the whole way China controlled its people all the way to the twentieth-century and it changed the perspective and how we the citizens of China felt toward the government and the people in the power.
