The founder of Chinese culture - Confucius

As early as 2,500 years ago, China's top thinkers were first Lao Tzu and then Confucius.

Confucius once visited Lao Tzu, not close, from today's Qufu, Shandong, to today's Luoyang, Henan.

Lao Tzu was a generation older than Confucius, and Confucius asked as a student. Now in Luoyang, there is also a stele inscribed with Confucius asking the question.

Yu Qiuyu wrote in the special article "Lao Tzu and Confucius": "This is the meeting of two great sages who truly stand on the peak of the thinking of all mankind, and this is the meeting of two spiritual originals of the Chinese nation. More than 2,500 years ago, on this day in Luoyang, there should have been a phoenix and a long song. Whether it was sunny or cloudy that day, whether it was wind or rain, it was expensive. ”

Twenty years after bidding farewell to Lao Tzu, Confucius embarked on an even more astonishing journey. He had walked outside for fourteen full years, and he was not young, from fifty-five to sixty-eight.

These fourteen years of walking, the words spoken along the road, were written down by the students, and the rulers of the various princely states at that time did not listen, but they were heard by the Chinese for more than two thousand years, and they were also heard by many people in the world.

If Qin Shi Huang made China China territorially, then Confucius made China China China ideologically.
