\u5b50(z\u01d0) is respectful form of address in ancient China reserved for those with moral integrity and knowledge. Kong Zi, known as Confucius, was a Chinese educator and thinker who lived more than 2,000 years ago. His surname was Kong and his full name was Kong Qiu. He was born into a fallen noble family in the State of Lu(now Shandong province).He was intelligent and loved learning since childhood. He became a learned and accomplished man.<\/p>\n

He started providing education for commo<\/em>ners when he grew up, believing that everybody, regardless of social status, was entitled to education. He was the first teacher who advocated education for commoners. With regards to teaching methods, he proposed teaching by perso<\/em>nal example and in accordance with students’ aptitudes.<\/p>\n

Kong Zi established Co<\/em>nfucianism which emphasizes \u793cli(propriety), \u4e50yue(music), and \u4ec1ren(benevolence). He advocated running state affairs with morality and etiquette. After Kong Zi’s death, his disciples organized his teachings into The Analects which became the sutra of all schools of Confucianism. Most rulers followed Co<\/em>nfucianism and elevated Kong Zi to the status of the "great sage".<\/p>\n
