Confucius (551 – 479 BCE) lived during the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history.
It was a time when China was not a united country, but was divided into various kingdoms.
It was a time of wars, chaos and unrest. Confucius was born in the Kingdom of Lu 魯, in the city
of Qufu曲阜.
In this chaotic and turbulent period, the rulers of the various kingdoms needed wise men to
help them rule and survive, and Confucius spent the large parts of his life teaching and acting
as administrators in various kingdoms.
