-	'''Confucius''' (551–479 BC) was a [[China|Chinese]] teacher, editor, politician, and [[Chinese philosophy|philosopher]] of the [[Spring and Autumn Period]] of [[History of China|Chinese history]].	+
-	The philosophy of Confucius emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the [[Hundred Schools of Thought]] era only to be suppressed in favor of the [[Legalism (Chinese philosophy)|Legalists]] during the [[Qin Dynasty]]. Following the victory of [[Han dynasty|Han]] over [[Chu-Han Contention|Chu]] after the collapse of Qin, Confucius's thoughts received official sanction and were further developed into a system known as ''[[Confucianism]]''.	+
-		+
-	Confucius is traditionally credited with having authored or edited many of the [[Chinese classic texts]] including all of the [[Five Classics]], but modern scholars are cautious of attributing specific assertions to Confucius himself. [[Aphorism]]s concerning his teachings were compiled in the ''[[Analects of Confucius|Analects]]'', but only many years after his death.	+
-		+
-	Confucius's principles had a basis in common Chinese tradition and belief. He championed strong family loyalty, [[Veneration of the dead|ancestor worship]], respect of elders by their children (and in traditional interpretations) of husbands by their wives. He also recommended family as a basis for ideal government. He espoused the well-known principle "Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself", an early version of the [[Golden Rule]].	+
