Confucius
(551-479 BC)

Confucius lived in China at a time when the land was split into warring states. He travelled from one ruler to the next, hoping one of them would listen to his ideas about being fair, respectful and good to your family. Most of them didn’t.

His students wrote down his sayings in a book called the Analects. His real name was Kong Qiu, and people called him Kong Fuzi, or “Master Kong.” Confucius is the Latin version of that name. He loved music and thought it helped make people better.
