More than two thousand years ago, the Chinese scholar and teacher Confucius wrestled with the problem of how to create a just and peaceful society. His teachings, which came to be known as Confucianism, stressed benevolence toward others, respect for tradition, self-discipline, and education. Both a religion and a philosophy, Confucianism has profoundly influenced the social, cultural, and political life not only of China, but of much of East Asia. Today, its principles are still studied and followed by millions.
