1. I. Background of Confucian
Confucius, born in the state of Lu in 551 BCE, was determined at a very young age to
become a scholar. At this time, warfare for supremacy among the various states in China had
begun, and Chinese social structure was deteriorating. Confucius sought a ruler who could bring
back justice and harmony into society as it had once existed in the earlier Zhou dynasty.
However, Confucius' desire for such an individual was never realized. Confucius taught from his
early twenties until his death at the age of 72 in 479BCE. After his death, Confucius' disciples
produced the Analects, a collection of his sayings which is the only record we possess of his
teachings.Confucianism, unlike other philosophies of ancient China, focuses primarily on the
human world, and the attainment of peace.

of politic and economic.

4. Yo scripture: is a kind of music and song to feel better.
5. Chu scripture: is about history and record of events.
6. Chhu xiu or Spring:is about the history of Lu dynasty.

the source of inhumanity. He didn’t like the cruelty, inhumanity which the people did on
the animals, people such cough prisoner of the war and cut their hand, leg out and also
take the people to into the boiled water and to squeeze the criminal head till die.
Justice: Confucian had seen the justice in two ways; it is in society and family. For this,
the justice should exist in the family first and then society. Confucian knew that justice is
hidden in people’ hearts and the actions. So, to have the justice in the society, the first
step needs the have the justice in family and then society. Confucian concept is “Children

III. The meaning of Confucian philosophy

3. The philosophy of Confucian is the development and the build of the human society. The
objective of the spread of his ideology is:
To educate people to escape from the misfortune believes to people love the standard of
living in society and find all the ways to restrain from the crises which most people faced
in their lives.
Confucian drew people’ attention not to fall in conviction.
He have taught people to depend on their strength and believe on their own will
especially use the considering to solve the problems.
The philosophy of Confucian is very far away from the religion because his philosophy
tented to the improvement of the present lives, not the post-lives.
The philosophy of Confucian is also used the word “God”, but God here, it does not
mean the God who is believed in the religion. The God of Confucian is the intelligence
and ethics.
The philosophy of Confucian is the order of the consciousness to seek the ways to release
the sorrows from lives, but not happiness, sin or merit for the next life.
IV. Virtue and politic principle of Confucian
Confucian’s virtue focused on mercy, compassion and righteous. He mentioned that all the
people in the society have their own works in order to have their own interests with morality
and righteous. Confucian called All of these actions are virtue, but if they do their work with
lacking of the ethic then their actions will be not right and lacking of virtue. On the other
hand, Confucian regarded the managing with virtue is better than managing with rule. He
expected the managing with virtue will process smoothly and fruitful. The good management
means make the society in order and prosperous. To have prosperous in society need to
improve the living standard of the family. To improve the living standard of the family need
to have solidarity of the families’ members. To have the solidarity of the families’ members
need to have strong commitment and good education. In this case mean that, when the people
are educated bring their standard of living are well managed. After the families are well
managed lead the society in order and finally will bring world with peace.

4. Confucian thought that people should do what they want and what the people want is
happiness. To obtain the happiness people dare to sacrifice everything. From the Confucian’s
idea, he state to the rule of the government that “Good government is the one that lead their
citizen to happiness”. To have happiness, Confucian mentioned to the management of the
state is like the management of the big family with a king is a father. The state is processed is
to serve the big family to have better lives. Through Confucian, he mentioned that the king
should feed, maintain, and teach to all the people whoare his children and grandchildren.
Confucian not appeal to all the members are equity in the society. He thinks in society must
have the higher class, middle class and lower class. There is not the democracy in the
philosophy of Confucian. He thinks there three kinds of people: know with study, known
without study, and unknown with study.Confucian is critical to middle class who not
accepted the self-position in the society.Confucian thinks that to have society in order at least
the people in the society well cooperated which he called put in the right position; it mean
that all the people in society need to have their own position in the society.The meaning in
here is that the manager is the manager, the minister is the minister, father is father, and son
is son. All the names have different positions and functions. If the names did not fulfill their
positions and functions correctly then it will be chaos. Ex: If the manager is not care about
the management skills even though he or she is popular; he or she will not be a good manager.
For conclusion, we have seen that the philosophy of Confucian is contributed a lot of
benefits to push the philosophical and moral politic to improve. What we are interested the
most is Confucian did not use his strength to solve the problem, but code of formulas is
basically used to solve the problem.
