Confucious-In Context Of Present-Day China

                                                                                Confucious was a great philosopher of China. He was also a political thinker and was for the self-development of humanity. Therefore he was an authority on political and social vision. 

                                                                                  He believed that the trust of people is crucial for a ruler in case he loses the same then he cannot sustain his power. He was for the ideals and values of ancient culture. He also supported modern education and standby for social reforms. He believed that systems are created by thinking of the people.

                                                                              He said that the divine power or soul of the dead people does not control human lives. Therefore every individual is independent and powerful to create their own destiny. 

                                                                            Besides that when there is a difference of opinions or wrongdoing among officials or a conflict for power that is totally undesirable. Confucious gave a message to establish a nonviolent society.  He had imagined the perfect ruler. He pointed out three factors for the ideal ruler. i.e. Person with good Intentions, Intelligent and Fearless.

                                                                           Confucious was for the family system in society. He wanted that elders should be respected. In short, Confucius wanted that Religion should sustain society and that society should support Religion. He wanted that everyone should be satisfied with what they had.  

                                                                         Confucious said one must live life with full confidence so that any failure in life can't come in the way of Happiness.

                                                                        We do not know that all this wisdom of Confucius has any relevance in the present context in China.
