From pursuing study and promoting the Way to imparting knowledge and educating the people, from the philosophy of life to administering the state and ordering government, from reflecting upon history to understanding the myriad beings, the sagely wisdom of Confucius extended far and deep. He took benevolence for the inner core, taking the Rites as guiding rule, using the Doctrine of the Mean as method, leading the people to build a beautiful world of great harmony. The school of Confucian thought established by Confucius is the crystallization of Chinese history and culture and also the driving force of traditional Chinese culture.
