something about Confucianism Most Chinese students would learn some LunYu,the Analects of Confucius,in their middle school.however,it’s just a kind of popularizition,to let us kown more about our own culture. But,what Confucianism really influenced Chinese people is the thing I’d like to call national character, which is received baptism of time and permeated through people.Since emperor Wu in the Han Dynasty carried out a policy of proscribing all non-Confucian schools of thought and espousing Confucianism as the only orthodox state ideology,up to the end of China’s feudal society,Confucianism had been used by the ruling class to maintain their status of rule for thousands of years.So nowadays,even Confucianism has left it’s political arena,the influence people’s behavior and the way of thinking will not completely disappear.Such as Golden mean,filial piety and so on.. I’d prefer to regard Confucianism as a philosophy,just to provide us some wise of thought. And I think wether children like to follow it or not,it’s his or her freedom.
