Description
Kǒng Fūzǐ, commonly Latinized as Confucius, was a Chinese philosopher and politician of the Spring and Autumn period who is traditionally considered the paragon of Chinese sages. Confucius’s teachings and philosophy underpin East Asian culture and society, remaining influential across China and East Asia to this day. Confucius is a sterling representative of the Chinese people. For the past 2,500 years, generation after generation of Chinese have all, to some degree, been related to Confucius as his spiritual descendants.
Culture is the driving force behind human history and civilization; it is like running water-a source of nourishment and growth that never stagnates. To propagate and advance culture, it is necessary to carry on tradition in all its original beauty and at the same time to instill it with a modern spirit.
The “Chinese Culture” series introduces viewers to the deeds of ancient Chinese sages of virtue, priceless art and artifacts from the National Palace Museum, and anecdotes and allusions from Chinese history. It is intended equally for the edification of the younger generation and for the enjoyment of those already well versed in Chinese culture.
