Confucius was born in 551 BCE, during the Zhou (pronounced JOE) dynasty in China. He died in 479 BCE During this time period, only the nobility were educated. If you were not of a wealthy family, you were not given a chance for education. Confucius was born to a poor family. He was given no formal schooling but had a deep desire to learn. At the age of 15, this desire caused him to take a job working for a noble man. Through this job, he was given the chance at some education. He thought the development of responsibility and moral character was best achieved through a strict code of behavior. Confucius thought that there were five basic virtues that everyone needed to follow: Kindness Righteousness Sobriety Wisdom Trustworthiness There are five basic rules of behavior…. 1.
