Although Confucius is sometimes credited with founding Confucianism, he said he was interpreting the philosophy of Zhougong, the duke of Zhou, rather than creating a new doctrine. Zhougong was said to have helped consolidate, expand and modernize the “feudal” ritual system. This system depended on blood ties, marriage alliances, and ancient as well as newly negotiated treaties.
Confucianism was not successfully spread by Confucius. Instead, the scholar Mencius, who was born more than a hundred years after Confucius died, changed his philosophy and preached in different states. At first the Chinese accepted Confucianism more readily than did the ruling class, but Confucianism was revived and popularized by the Han dynasty, from 206 BCE to 220 CE.
Confucianism, the way of life spread by Confucius in the 6th-5th century BCE and followed by the Chinese people for more than two thousand years. Although it has changed over time, it remains the basis of learning, the source of values, and the social code of the Chinese. Its influence has also extended to other countries, especially Korea, Japan and Vietnam.
Confucianism, a Western term that has no equivalent in Chinese, is a worldview, social ethic, political ideology, scholarly tradition, and way of life. Sometimes seen as a philosophy and sometimes as a religion, Confucianism can be understood as an all-encompassing way of thinking and living that includes ancestor reverence and deep human-centered faith. East Asians may profess to be Shintōists, Daoists, Buddhists, Muslims, or Christians, but, by declaring their religious affiliations, they rarely cease to be Confucians.

Although it is often grouped with the major historical religions, Confucianism differs from them in that it is not an organized religion. Nevertheless, it spread to other countries in East Asia under the influence of Chinese literary culture and has had a great influence on spiritual and political life. Both the theory and practice of Confucianism have indelibly marked the patterns of government, society, education and family in East Asia. Although it is an exaggeration to characterize traditional Chinese life and culture as Confucian, Confucian ethical values have been a source of inspiration for over 2,000 years as well as the appellate court for human interaction. between individuals, communities, and nations in the Sinitic world.
The story of Confucianism does not begin with Confucius. And Confucius was not the founder of Confucianism in the sense that the Buddha was the founder of Buddhism and Jesus Christ was the founder of Christianity. Instead, Confucius believed that he was a transmitter who consciously tried to revive the old in order to receive the new. He suggested reviving the meaning of the past by advocating ceremonial life. Confucius’ love of antiquity was fueled by his strong desire to understand why certain forms of life and institutions, such as veneration of ancestors, people-centered religious practices, and mourning rites, had been live for centuries. His journey into the past was in search of roots, which he saw as rooted in humanity’s deepest needs to belong and communicate. He had faith in the cumulative power of culture. The fact that traditional methods had lost their vitality did not diminish their potential for future renewal. In fact, Confucius’ sense of history was so strong that he saw himself as a preservationist responsible for the continuity of cultural values and the social norms that had worked so well for the ideal civilization of the Western Zhou dynasty.
The scholarly tradition that Confucius saw can be traced back to the sage kings of antiquity. Although the earliest dynasty confirmed by archeology is the Shang dynasty (18th–12th century BCE), the historical period that Confucius claimed was relevant was much earlier. Confucius may have started a cultural process known as Confucianism in the West, but he and those who followed him saw themselves as part of a tradition, later referred to by Chinese historians as the
, a “scholarly tradition,” originated two thousand years earlier, when the legendary sages Yao and Shun created a civilized world through moral persuasion.
