The Sayings of Confucius by Confucius
"The Sayings of Confucius" by Confucius is an ancient Chinese philosophical text compiled during the Warring States period (475–221 BC), achieving its final form during the mid-Han dynasty. This collection of sayings and ideas explores Confucius's vision for moral cultivation, beginning with filial piety and extending to virtuous leadership. Through concepts like ren (virtue), li (ritual propriety), and de (moral character), Confucius teaches how individuals can cultivate integrity and create a harmonious
society. For over two millennia, these teachings have profoundly shaped East Asian thought and values. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
