• i need to no why confucius changes china?
  

  I am one gradutate student studying in U.S. now.
  Conf is not one person or God like Jesus but one great philosopher. I’ve been in U.S. for several years. And I begin to know the society of U.S. Especially the most impressive in my mind is Christian. The power of this orginization is so strong that I get one big shock. So sometimes I have been thinking it. And I always go to church to know it. My conclusion is “Christian is one tool being used by the government” (possibly not). Because in reality only law made my human being is not enough to regulate the people, thus something special is very required to allow the people to do in the approprate way. It is religion, it is belif.
  At the time when Conf was living in China, a variety of ideaology came into being. This event is called “hundreds schools blooming”. For example, Conf’s idea is “Goverment officials should obey their King”; “Wife obey husband”; “Son obey father”. It can be summaried by one word “politism”. Some other ideaologies have their own declarations such as law-idea, nature-idea, doctor-idea, witch-idea, science-idea etc. In Qin dynasty, Shihuang the first emperor of China who got all of the small kingdom into one strong country ordered to burn some books of Conf because some students following Conf’s idea accused of Shihuang’s thought of eternal life. Lots of students were buried lively. But in Han dynasty after Qin, the goverment wanted to control and regulate the people pushed Conf’s idea onto the historical stage. The reason is that Conf’s idea is telling people to be used to “obeying”. All of other ideaology were killed.
  Although Conf’s idea had been used by government for two thousand years, there are something precious in it. And I think there are same thing as that in Bible. The common point is both of them is telling people to how to act as one good person, how to live in this world. Throughout Conf’s life, he’s keeping thinking about human being. He says he becomes one adult at twenty; he becomes dependent at thirty; he becomes confused about the world and his own life at forty; he becomes knowing this is the arranged fate by God at fifty; he becomes dyding at sixty; less people can live to seventy. And in Conf’s works, you can also find some classic ideaology about how to act as one good person; how to get along with other person and the government. His idea has already been irragated into the brains of Chinese and been leading people’s living for about two thousand years. It is Conf’s idea that brings China into the civilation. This is just like Christianity took western people out of the dark.
  This is only my own opinion. So some other people perhaps have their own different idea. If you like to discuss, please feel free to tell me.
