Introduction Confucianism is generally regarded as the foundation of the present Chinese culture 1 . To a great extent, it is associated with the way most Chinese national behave in different situations. Apparently, it a way of life that based on principles created by Confucius centered on the values held by three Chinese families namely Xia, Shang, and Zhou. Due to its supremacy in the Chines culture, the contribution of Confucianism on the modern Chinese culture and way of life can not simply be ignored. Seemingly, it is essential to study the life of Confucius if one is to understand the mind of the Chinese people 2 . As the most influential figure in the Chinese history, the way that the Chinese people live today is closely interrelated to the incredible teachings of Confucius.
