Chinese and Japanese Religions Information on Chinese and Japanese religions on the Internet is relatively scarce. There is a fair amount of information on Buddhism, which includes material on Buddhism as it relates to China and Japan. Links to resources on Buddhism can be found on the Buddhism Resources page of this subject guide. Information on other Chinese and Japanese religions and philosophies is to a large extent limited to some of the central texts of these religions. Unfortunately, there is very little currently available on Shintoism on the Internet and for this reason there are no links to this religion in our subject guide. A. Confucianism While Confucianism claims only about six million adherents today, its influence far exceeds its numbers. Traditional Chinese life and culture have been shaped to a large extent by Confucian philosophy, and its influence extends to much of the area surrounding China, including Japan, Korea and Vietnam. Confucius advocated the achievement of wisdom through self-cultivation and inner enlightenment, and this emphasis on a personal approach to enlightenment may be a reason that materials and services on the Internet relating to Confucianism are somewhat limited.

Confucianism A Brief Summary of Confucius and His Teachings by Kathy Shinn Confucianism is the complex system of moral, social, political, and religious teaching built up by Confucius and the ancient Chinese traditions. Confucianism goal is making not only the man virtuous, but also making him the man of learning and of good manners. The perfect man must combine the qualities of a saint, scholar, and gentleman. Confucianism is a religion whose worship is centered in offerings to the dead. The notion of duty is extended beyond the boundaries of morals and embraces the details of daily life. Confucius had a noble and commanding personality. Examples of this is illustrated in his moral teachings and by the high-minded men that he trained to continue his life-work. In their admiration of him, they declared him the greatest of men, the sage without flaw, the perfect man. He didn’t make any pretension to have virtue and wisdom. He was aware of his shortcomings, and he made no attempt to keep that concealed. Confucius’s love of virtue and wisdom is described in Analects as one "who in the eager pursuit of knowledge, forgot his food, and in the joy of attaining to it forgot his sorrow". Whatever traditional records of the past, whether history, lyric poems, or rites and ceremonies which promoted virtue, he sought out and taught to his disciples. He was a man of an affectionate nature, sympathetic, and most considerate towards others. He loved his disciples dearly, and won in turn their undying devotion.

THE DIVINE LIFE SOCIETY HOME TEACHINGS MESSAGES ... View Archives Confucianism By Sri Swami Sivananda Introduction Books Sayings ... Conclusion Introduction Confucius was born in 551 B.C. in the feudal State of Lu, a portion of what is now the province of Shangtung on the north-eastern seaboard of China. The name of Confucius in Chinese is Kung-fu-tse, i.e., the statesman-philosopher Kung. The first European scholars who visited China found that name hard to pronounce. So they turned it into Latin and called him Confucius. There are three religions in China, viz., Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Confucius and Lao-Tze founder of Taoism, were contemporaries. They are sages and philosophers. They are not regarded as Saviours. Lao-Tze was fifty-three years older than Confucius. They met each other. Socrates and Buddha also were the contemporaries of Confucius. Confucianism is not a religion in the customary sense. It has neither priesthood nor any monastic order. It existed in China long before the time of Confucius. In one of his recorded sayings he speaks of himself as a ‘transmitter’ and not a ‘maker’ or ‘originator’. He did not give a new religion to the world or a new ethical code. What he gave to the world was only a powerful restatement of the fundamental principles of human morality or ethics. He issued a new and improved edition of the old one. The moral code he framed was most admirable. It contained grand ethical truths. Some say that Confucianism is no religion in reality, because Confucius is a philosopher, moralist, statesman and educationist, but no religionist. They say that the thoughts and teachings of Confucius are ethical philosophy, political and educational principle, but not religious philosophy.

It emphasises on respect for ancestors and Government authorities and teaches that rulers must govern according to high moral standards. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have been the major religions in China. But Confucianism had the greatest impact on the Chinese society. It was the State religion of China from 100 B.C. to 1,900 A.D. Confucius's scriptures called "The Five Classics and Four Books" served as a foundation of the Chinese education system for centuries. Beginning in the 1,000s, a more philosophical approach to Confucianism, known, as "New Confucianism" became widely popular. New Confucianism also influenced Japanese moral codes and philosophy. In 1949, the Chinese communists gained control of China. The Government officially condemned Confucianism as well as other religions. As a result, most followers of Confucianism lived outside mainland China. In 1970's, however, the Communist Government relaxed its policy against religion and so, Confucianism enjoyed a revival on the mainland. Home Hinduism Islam Buddhism ...

Neo-Confucianism was essentially a response by the Confucians to the dominance of the Daoists and Buddhists . Neo-Confucians such as Zhu Xi recognized that the Confucian system of the time did not include a thoroughgoing metaphysical system and so devised one. There were of course many competing views within the Neo-Confucian community, but overall, a system emerged that resembled both Buddhist and Daoist thought of the time and some of the ideas expressed in the Book of Changes (I Ching) as well as other yin yang theories associated with the Taiji symbol ( Taijitu ).

Edward Kim Tea is poured during a Confucian ceremony in front of ancestral tombs in Kyongju, South Korea. During his life the Chinese philosopher K'ung Fu-tzu (551-479 B.C.), or Confucius, developed a code of living that valued goodwill, duty, manners, wisdom, and trustworthiness Confucius believed that these are things that humans can control. Destiny controls much else. Confucius also believed that the success of a society depended on the moral quality of its leaders. Good government, he taught, depended on educated, courteous, and virtuous officials. Although the philosopher died in 479 B.C., his teachings, compiled in a book called The Analects, were increasingly influential in the centuries after his death. The philosopher's followers formed a school of Confucianism that espoused his ideal of honest and morally responsible leadership. Confucianism took hold under the rulers of China's Han dynasty (206 B.C. to A.D. 23). The expansion of the Han empire allowed Confucianism to spread into Southeast Asia.

Home World Religions Confucianism Confucianism Confucianism History K'ung Fu Tzu (commonly pronounced Confucius in English) was born in 551 BCE in the state of Lu (modern day Shantung Province). He lived during the Chou dynasty, and era known for its moral laxity. Later in life, he wandered through many states of China, giving advice to their rulers. He accumulated a small band of students during this time. The last years of his life were spent back in Lu, where he devoted himself to teaching. His writings deal primarily with individual morality and ethics, and the proper exercise of political power by the rulers. In China, and some other areas in Asia, the social ethics and moral teachings of Confucius are blended with the Taoist communion with nature and Buddhist concepts of the afterlife, to form a set of complementary, peacefully co-existent and ecumenical religions. There are approximately 6 million Confucians in the world. About 26,000 live in North America; almost all of the remainder are found throughout China and the rest of Asia.

Mrs Donn's Ancient China The Three Teachings Confucianism Taoism Buddhism In T'ang times , Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism became known as the Three Doctrines, or the "Three Teachings" . In T'ang times, a man might honor his ancestors by following the rigid rules of social behavior as dictated by Confucianism, attend a Buddhist pageant, and practice Taoist breathing exercises, all in the same day. These three doctrines were an important part of daily life Confucianism Confucius was born around 551 BCE in Chou times . His parents were nobility, but had become poor when the empire disintegrated into feudal states. When he was about 15 years old, he became quite interested in learning. In those days, only the nobility and royals were allowed education. All the teachers were government officials. It was hard for him to find a way to learn. To solve this, he went to work for a nobleman. This gave him the opportunity to travel to the imperial capital. Confucius studied and learned until he probably was the most learned man of his day. People heard of his knowledge and sent their sons to study with him. He was the first private teacher in China. Confucius taught anyone who was eager to learn. His ideas, called Confucianism, stress the need to develop responsibility and moral character through rigid rules of behavior. Confucianism is not, properly speaking, a religion
