The influence of Confucius and ru jia on China, Chinese culture and
other East Asian countries and regions like Korea, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong
is truly amazing. This section sets out where
Confucius himself began and finished, along with how his philosophical tradition
preceded and carried on after him. This will hopefully demonstrate how the philosophy
(and potentially religion) affected so many people and for such a long time reaching up to
the present day and beyond. Click on the "Chinese Dynasties" to see
how Confucian thought affected each era of Chinese history; click "Confucius's
China" for an understanding of the time period Confucius lived in; and
click "China's Confucius" to see how Confucianism lived on and continues
to today not just in China but across the globe. Click the small yin-yang to

"When you study the occult and perform miracles, later
generations always tell about it.
This I won't do."
[Confucius, The Doctrine of the Mean B:11]
