Confucius was a Chinese philosopher and politician who lived during the Spring and Autumn period, around 551 BCE to 479 BCE. He is traditionally regarded as the epitome of all Chinese sages. Confucius died in 479 BCE. The teachings and philosophy of Confucius continue to have a significant impact on culture and society in East Asia, particularly in China and other parts of the region.

Confucius saw himself as a transmitter for the virtues of past eras, which he asserted had been abandoned in his own time period. Confucius is best known for his philosophical ideas, which are referred to as Confucianism. These teachings place an emphasis on personal and governmental morality, the accuracy of social connections, justice, kindness, and sincerity. During the time of the Hundred Schools of Thought, his disciples competed with many other schools, but during the Qin dynasty, they were repressed in favor of the Legalist school of thought. 

Following the downfall of the Qin dynasty and the triumph of the Han over the Chu, Confucius's ideas were recognized as legitimate by the newly established Han government. During the Tang and Song dynasties, Confucianism evolved into a system that would later become known in the West as Neo-Confucianism and New Confucianism. This took place in China during this time period. Confucianism was an integral component of both the social structure and way of life in China; for adherents of this philosophy, the secular world served as the primary setting for religious practice.

Traditional accounts attribute to Confucius the authorship or editing of a large number of the Chinese classic texts, including all of the Five Classics; however, modern scholars are cautious about attributing specific assertions to Confucius himself. This is because Confucius lived and died over 2,560 years ago. The Analects are a collection of aphorisms concerning his teachings; nevertheless, they were not compiled until many years after his death.
