The east’s Socrates

-- Confucius

In the history of human,a series of ideologists played quite important roles in

various

field,

they

had

a

far-reaoching

influence

on

the

development

of

human

society.

it

can

be

said

that

they

were

like

the

engine

of

history

who

promoted

civilization to improve. In the west, there were Platon, Aristotle, Socrates who were

well-

known

for

theirs’

ideology

about

society,

humanity,

science,

nature.

The

ideal

country,

wrote

by

Platon,

it

records

the

dialogue

of

Socrates

and

others,.

It

isthe

summary

of

his

former

philosophy

of

Platon,

it

discusses

the

philosophy,

politics,

ethics,

education,

art.

Platon

believed

that

a

good

country

should

have

wisdom,

courage, self- control, justice. We have to belive that the ideology of them was used

for referenceby modern people to

formulate all kinds of humanized laws, raise the

level of Education .what is more important, it teach us how to be justice and moral

people.

In the ancient east, there were a group of people who did the same things just

like Platon,Aristotle, Socrates. Among the ancient China, there are two very dazzling

ideology denominations in more than one hundred ideology denominations. One is

confucianist, the other is Taoists. Confucius is one of the most representative figures

ofconfucianist, and he is the pioneer of confucianist. And Lao Zi is one of the most

representative figures of Taoists, and he is the pioneer of Taoists. Confucius and Lao

Zi’s

ideology

have

been

influencing

Chinese

culture

for

more

than

two

thousand

years.

It

is

not

little

exaggerated

to

say

that

Confucius’s

ideology

is

the

core

of

Chinese culture and civilization.

Confucius was born in Dilu Chou in BC 551,he is famous

as one great thinker

and

educator.

It

is

believed

that

Confucius’s

ideology

has

become

the

reed

of

the

feudal

culture

even

modern

culture

in

China

for

two

thousand

years,

even

he

is

considered

to

be

the

greatest

Chinese

sage

by

all

people

of

the

world.

When

Confucius

was

15

years

old,

he

wascognizant

of

the

meaning

of

life .so

he

was

ambition

in

learning

in

life

and

getting

widespread

knowledge.

After

many

life- changing events, Confucius began to travel around other countries to share his

ideology. Howeverthose monarch

s don’t agree him,

So he got back to Lu in the end.

At that time, Confucius still had a heart in politics, but themonarch of Lu

didn’t reach

to an agreement on how to administer a country. Confucius thought that running one

country with charity is quite ridiculous. so he just put Confucius in an unimportant

position

. Confucius thought the monarch of Lu and other ministers didn’

t understand

him,

so

he

began

to

pay

his

whole

attention

to

education.

Confucius

broke

the

monopoly

of

education,

recruited

students

regardless

of

social

level.

Besides,

he

didn’t require students to give money to him. (I think Confucius could be compared

with

Socrates,

because

their

behavior

is

so

much

alike.)

Confucius

taught

students

without

Discrimination

and

educate

different

students

according

to

their

different

aptitude. Sohis teaching skills was advance at that time. It was said that his students

add up to three thousand people, there were 72 excellent people, who were called

wise men by other people. In Confucius's all life, he did not write a book to promote

his

ideology,

but

that

is

no

influent

in

reducing

his

influence

to

thousand

years

of
