Born around the year 551 BC in the small town of Lu, now entered the Shantung province in the northeast mainland China. In the younger age widowed father, making life miserable in her mother's side.

When leaving an adult he became a civil servant petty but after a lapse of several years he decided to feel a lot better off alone. During the next sixteen-Kong Hu Cu become teachers, little by little to find the influences and philosophies fad followers. Stepping on the age of fifty years of his star began to shine because he can perch on the city government Lu.

The good fortune is not always friendly apparently because people are jealous with this act and the act was dragged into court so that not only successfully removed from the chair position but also made him leave the city. No less than thirteen years-Cu Kong Hu traveled to where the feet go, so teachers around, just returned home from five years before his death in 479 BC.

Kong Hu-Cu is often regarded as the founder of a religion; assumption is of course wrong. He rarely linking his teaching with the deity, refused to debate the netherworld, and dodge any talk firmly associated with the questions metaflsika. He-no more and no less-a secular philosopher, just dealing with the problems of political and personal morality and moral behavior.

There are two values are very important, said Kong Hu-Cu, the "Yen" and "Li:" "Yen" is often translated with the word "Love," but they are more subject to be interpreted "The hospitality in a relationship with someone." "Li "described as a combination of behaviors, of worship, customs, manners and courtesy.

Worship of ancestors, the basic principle of trust Chinese son even before the birth of Confucius-Cu, further strengthened again with the emphasis on family loyalty and respect for the elderly. Teachings of Confucius-Cu also underlines the importance of necessity a wife respect and obey her husband and a similar obligation of a citizen to his government. This is somewhat different to the stories of the Chinese people who always oppose every form of tyranny. Kong Hu-Cu sure, there is no other country to serve the interests of the people, not turned back. Not tired-jemunya Kong Hu Cu-emphasize that the ruler must rule first of all based on a model which moralists give examples rather than by playing hard and kemplang. And one of the legal doctrine a little similar to the "Golden Rule" of his Christianity, which reads "What you do not like other people do to you, do not do it."

Main-main views Kong Hu Cu basically very conservative. According to his opinion, the golden age is past, and he called on both rulers and the people to return home, rely on the size genah moral, do not digress. The fact that there is not an easy matter at hand.Kong Hu Cu desire for regime-not playing snaps, but through the show a good role model is not so smooth in the early era. Therefore, Hu-Cu Kong closer to a reformer, an innovator rather than what actually became his ideal.

Kong Hu Cu living-Chou Dynasty, a period menyuburnya intellectual life in China, while the ruling was ignored altogether-petuahnya advice. Only after he wafatlah teachings spread throughout the corner of China.

Berbetulan with the advent of Ch'in dynasty in 221 BC, having a very bleak. Emperor Shih Huang Ti, First Emperor Ch'ing dynasty determined to clear-cutting round-adherent Kong Hu Cu and cut off the chain of contact the past. Issuance of order of the day bullying creamed Confucius's teachings-Cu and either move the mirror and professional thugs and vandals to conduct a massive search, seize all the books containing the teachings of Confucius-Cu and dicemplungkan into the fire pit until destroyed to ashes.Depravity plan is apparently not too effective. When approached during the collapse of Ch'ing dynasty, adherents Kong Hu Cu resurgent coal-spirits and kindle again the doctrine of Confucius-Cu. In the next dynasty (Han dynasty in 206 BC - 220 AD).Confucianisme become the official state philosophy of China.

Starting from the Han dynasty, Chinese emperors level by level to develop the selection system for those who want to become civil servants by way of taking exams for civil servants are so careless but do not people have a good quality standard of skill and morale. Over time more and more directed and weighted selection: eye exam include basic philosophy of Confucius-Cu. Since the country is so pegawal ladder toward material wealth and social status keterangkatan, please be understandable if amongst enthusiasts happen fierce battle fought for space. The next result, air-fronted generations of Chinese intellectuals fronted a massive amount to pursue until the eye dizzy treasure classical writings-Khong Hu Cu. And, for centuries the Chinese civil service consists of those who gaze rests on a philosophy of Confucius-Cu. This system (with just a little interlude) lasted for nearly two thousand years, beginning in 100 BC until 1900 AD

But, Confucianisme not only a Chinese government official philosophy, but also accepted and lived by most Chinese people, influential down to the basics of their hearts, to guide the direction of thinking during a period of more than two thousand years.

There are several reasons why Confucianisme have such tremendous influence on Chinese people. First, the honesty and innocence Kong Hu-Cu can not be doubted.Second, he's a moderate and practical and do not ask exceedingly many things that are not able to be people. If Kong Hu-Cu wanted to be a respectable person, that person need not bother to become a saint first. In this case, as in the case of the other teachings, he reflects and at the same practical character translate Chinese. This aspect of the possibility that a factor terpokok success teachings of Confucius-Cu. Kong Hu-Cu is not asking exceedingly much. For example he did not ask the Chinese exchange basics of old beliefs. In fact the opposite, Confucius follow-Cu support with the clear language so that they do not need to be shifted. Apparently, no one anywhere in the world of philosophers who are so close in contact in terms of fundamental views with residents as well as Hu-Cu Kong.

Confucianisme that emphasizes a series of obligations which are addressed to individuals rather than highlight their rights-it was difficult to digest and less attractive to the size of the Western world. As a philosophy of statehood seems incredible effective.Measured from the point of the ability to maintain harmony and prosperity in China within a period of not less than two thousand years, it is clear to be aligned with other forms of government in the world.

The idea of the philosophy of Confucius-Cu which is rooted in Chinese culture, does not affect much beyond the East Asian region. In Korea and Japan are subtle effect and is due to both countries is heavily influenced by Chinese culture.

Currently in a state Confucianisme Guram in China. The problem is, the Communist government trying hard to link the minds of the population with the past is lost altogether.With a persistent and systematic Confucianisme pounded out so that it is probable that one day that is not so far away from earth Confucianisme China. But because in the past, riding Confilcianisme roots so deep in the earth menghunjam China, not the impossible, whether one hundred or one hundred fifty lahun to come - some Chinese philosophers could marry the two big ideas: Confucianisme and the teachings of Mao Tse-Tung.
