Перевести А.Confucius was one of the greatest moral teachers of all time.He lived in China about five hundred years before Christ.Confucius studied ancient Chinese writings from which he took some ideas. Those ideas seemed important to the development of fine characters.Then he taught these ideas to the princes and to the students of all ages who came to him for instruction. The rules he wrote down 2,400 years ago are still used by people. For example,his golden rule was "What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others". He tried to interest people in ideals of love,openness and moral behaviour. Confucius believed that man was naturally good and could live in harmony with other people. Б.Confucius` Chinese name was Kung-Fu-tse. At the age of 22,three years after his marriage,Confucius began to teach men how to live happily. Among other people he taught a number of Chinese princes. Confucius did not consider himself a god. In fact, he taught nothing about religion or about what happens to us after death. Within five hundred years after his death, his teaching became the philosophy of the whole country. When Buddhism appeared, the teachings of Confucius were almost forgotten,but later remembered again. We can say that even today Confucius` ideas are important for people.
