Confucianism is the religion based on the teachings of
Confucius, a Chinese philosopher who died c. 479 BC. A
state religion from 100 BC to about AD 1900s, the tenets of Confucianism
stress the importance of high moral ideas and noble political
beliefs. It emphasizes respect for ancestors and places high premium
on civic duties. Confucian scriptures known as the Five
Classics and Four Books served as the foundation of
the Chinese educational system for ages. Confucianism,
at present, enjoys a mainland religion status in China ever since
the communist government revised its policy on religion in the
1970s.
