7 The great teacher—Confucius
Confucius is a very important person in China. He lived more than 2,500 years ago, but people still remember his birthday and have ceremonies(典礼) to celebrate it.

Confucius was a famous teacher and philosopher(哲学家) in ancient China. He was born in 551 BC in Lu, in today's Shandong Province. When he was young, his father died. He worked to help his mother. But he never stopped studying. He learned from many teachers, and learned music, history, poetry and archery(射箭).
At about 30, Confucius became a teacher and opened the first private school in China. He had over 3,000 students. Confucius created Confucianism. Its basic idea is "ren(loving others)". The core values like righteousness(yi) and filial piety(xiao) are still important today. Now, many countries have Confucius Institutes. By 2023, there were 563 Confucius Institutes in 154 countries. They help people learn about this great teacher's ideas.
