DESCRIPTION: Confucius, whose Chinese name is Kong Qiu, is respectfully referred to as Kongzi by the Chinese people. A celebrated ancient Chinese thinker, political figure, educator and founder of Confucianism, he is compared by some Socrates in the West. His teachings and philosophy, preserved in the Analects of Confucius, have not only served as the foundation of much of subsequent Chinese speculation on an ideal man and government, but also deeply influenced Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese life and thought. Qufu, the birthplace of Kongzi, has become a major destination for cultural tourism. Kong Temple, the Kong temple, the Kong Residence and Kong Forest in particular present a fine exhibition of ChinAs temples and its ancient scholarly life, its gardens and its tomb. A beautifully illustrated guide, the book takes you on an evocative cultural tour through captivating temples, palaces and gardens.
