Chinese Philosopher

We cannot understand why all famous Chinese philosophers were born in about two thousand five hundred years ago at the time of the warlord period. It was that China at that time divided into seven countries, and each country appeared famous philosophers whose names have been still remembered today and their theory of philosophies was still applied to our life today.
Six philosophers were famous at that time. Their names were Confucius, Laozi, Mencius, Mozi, Xun Zi and Zhuang Zhou. Among those philosophers, Confucius has been mostly popular in our Chinese society today. It is because Confucius’ philosophy was most practical to be used in our daily life.
Today Confucian temples are all over the world in the society of Chinese people. China celebrated in Confucian temples every year to pronounce his philosophy to the public as a reminder in education.
Confucius main philosophy is the word “polite”. He said that human to human, politeness is the necessity to each other in our daily life. Only by politeness, we can live peacefully in the society in which our whole life depends on.
