There was little in his childhood background (4…) the remarkable prestige that Confucius (42…… ) achieved.
He was born in a small principality in northeastern China, was reared in poverty and had no formal education. Through
diligent study, however, he educated himself and became a learned man. For a while he held a minor government post;
but he soon resigned that position and spent most of his life as a teacher. Eventually, his most important teaching were
gathered together into a book, the Analects, (43- ________) by his disciples.
The two cornerstones of his system of personal conduct were Jen and Ii. Jen might be defined (44… )
‘benevolent concern of one’s fellow men.’ Li is a term less easily translated: it combines the notion of iquette, good
manners, and due concern and virtue rather than wealth (and in his personal life he seems to have acted on that
principle). (45- _____), he was the first major philosopher to state the Golden Rule, which he phrased as ‘Do not do
unto others that which you would not have them do unto you.’
