BR 05: Confucianism in China

Confucius felt that learning should be a pleasant experience and one that should be approached with joy. (p.14)

    I often hear that Chinese people are learning and working hard, but I have never heard the reasons. The reason is the Confucianism. I'm interested in why people believe it so strongly and keep their minds all the time. In past time, there was family rulers, but as the time passed, their power were gradually weak. So, people were suffering from nation's poor. They tried to forget it by relying on Confucianism and learned about it. In the saying, there are many tips for our daily life. For example, studying, working and living and so on. Now that it has been inherited from ancient people. Children also learn about it in their school and house and they keep conducting that. Chinese people think that it is the best way to believe it and follow it. Therefore, they feel the bond of their family, friends and have loyal feeling.
