His philosophy advocated "benevolence and righteousness", "rites and music", "rule by virtue and education" and "taking the people as the body".

孔子名丘，字仲尼。春秋末期魯國人，出身于沒落的宋國貴族家庭，刻苦好學，曾從事“儒”(貴族喪事贊禮者)的職業，中年時開辦私學，一度出任魯國的中都宰，司空、司寇等職務。四年后因遭小人暗算，棄職后率領弟子周游列國，經十三年，晚年歸魯，繼續講學，整理古籍，《論語》20篇，是孔子弟子及其再傳弟子關于孔子言行的記錄。
Confucius is named Qiu and the word Zhongni. At the end of the spring and Autumn period, people from the state of Lu were born in the declining aristocratic family of the state of song. They were hard-working and eager to learn. They once engaged in the profession of "Confucianism" (the tribute of aristocratic funerals). They started private schools in their middle age and once served as the governor of the central capital of the state of Lu, Sikong, Sikou and so on. Four years later, he was secretly plotted by villains. After abandoning his post, he led his disciples to travel around the countries. After 13 years, he returned to Lu in his later years, continued to give lectures and collate ancient books. 20 chapters of the Analects are records of Confucius' words and deeds by Confucius' disciples and their subsequent disciples.
孔子把“仁’和“義’祝為道德的最高原則，他規范著高尚者的行為。“仁”在有些時候可以解釋為“愛”，但我們最好將他理解為對人類的關心。“禮”是道德，禮節、硯矩，傳統等硯點的總和。
Confucius regards "benevolence" and "righteousness" as the highest principles of morality. He regulates the behavior of noble people“ Benevolence can sometimes be interpreted as love, but we'd better understand it as concern for mankind“ "Li" is the sum of morality, etiquette, inkstone moment, tradition and other inkstone points.
孔子是一個教育家、思想家，也可算半個政治家，但他首先是一個品德高尚的知識份子。他正直、樂觀向上、積極進取，一生都在追求真、善、美，一生都在追求理想的杜會，他的成功與失敗，無不與他的品格相關。他品格中的優點與缺點，幾千年來影響著中國人，特別是形響著中國的知識份子。
Confucius is an educator, thinker and half a politician, but first of all, he is an intellectual with noble morality. He is honest, optimistic, positive and enterprising. He pursues truth, goodness and beauty all his life. He pursues the ideal Du Hui all his life. His success and failure are all related to his character. The advantages and disadvantages of his character have influenced the Chinese people for thousands of years, especially the intellectuals in China.
