who is confucius
The oldest printed book known is the diamond sutta, a Buddhist scroll made from sheets of paper printed with woodblocks. It was made in china in AD 868.
Confucius was an ancient Chinese philosopher who taught the need for moral responsibility and virtue. His teachings did not make much impact during his lifetime, but they later became the central part of Chinese moral and religious thingking Confucius probably lived from 551 to 479 BC, in the time of the zhou dynasty. The zhou was the longest-lasting group of Chinese rulers, who governed the country from 1122 to 256 BC.
Confucianism was probably the most important feature in Chinese life until the appearance of communism in the 20th century. Confucianism resembles a religion, but instead of worshipping gods it is a guide to morality and good geverment although Confucius lived thousands of years ago, his influence in everyday life is still strong in china today.
