the most holy teacher

Confucius (551 B.C. - April 11, 479 B.C.), with the surname of Zi, the surname of Kong, the name of Qiu, and the character of Zhongni, was born in zouyi, Lu state (now Qufu City, Shandong Province), whose ancestral home is Liyi, Song state (now Xiayi County, Henan Province), a great thinker, politician, educator in ancient China, the founder of Confucianism, and "Dacheng supreme sage".  
 
Confucius created the style of private lectures and advocated benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith. There are threethousand disciples, including seventy-two sages. He led some of his disciples around the world for 14 years and revised the six classics in his later years (poems, books, rites, music, changes and spring and Autumn). After his death, his disciples and their successors recorded the words, deeds, quotations and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples and compiled them into the Analects of Confucius. The book is regarded as a Confucian classic.  
 
Confucius was one of the most erudite people in the society at that time. In his lifetime, he was revered as "the saint of heaven" and "the wooden Tudor of heaven", and was even more revered by later rulers as the sage of Confucius, the most holy, the most holy teacher, the most holy master of Dacheng, the king of literary propaganda, and the teacher for all ages. His thoughts have a far-reaching impact on China and the world, and he is listed as the first of the "top ten cultural celebrities in the world". With the expansion of Confucius' influence, the "Confucius worship ceremony" that offered sacrifices to Confucius once became the same level of sacrifice as that of Chinese ancestors.
