Confucius (551-479 BC), the first teacher of the celestial Empire, thinker and philosopher, was the first in history to discover man as a creative, social being, declaring with a simplicity worthy of the founder of a great civilization: man has no higher vocation than to truly realize himself as a man and become the Creator of culture - the only reality that is entirely created by people. His teaching - Confucianism - which had a huge impact on the civilization of China and East Asia, still excites the minds and attracts the attention of not only the East, but also the West. A well-known sinologist Vladimir maljavin, reflecting in the book all the basic information about the life and views of Confucius, is completing her judgment of the Teacher Coon, which today, in the age of rush and speed, remain true: 'a Noble man serene and free, poor people depressed and sad'; 'the Noble man cares not about his but about common interests; poor people, by contrast, cares not about the common but about their own interests'; 'a Noble husband, a loving but not flattering; flattering low man, but not peace-loving'... the biography of the sage, performed in a narrative, or parable manner, will undoubtedly be of interest to the thinking reader.
