Why do students from Jinan University visit Confucius with snacks and fruits, and China people will respect Confucius?

Why China people respect Confucius is related to the historical background.

Confucius (September 28, 55 BC1year-April 479 BC 1 1 year), surnamed Kong, was born in Qufu, Shandong Province, and his ancestral home was Li Yi (now Xiayi, Henan Province). He was a famous thinker and educator in China. Confucius initiated the atmosphere of private lectures and was the founder of Confucianism.

The foundation of feudal rule

Confucius is the founder of Confucianism. Dong Zhongshu, a thinker in the Western Han Dynasty, put forward the viewpoint of "ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone". Because Confucianism advocated the golden mean, it laid the foundation of feudal ethics and rigid people's thoughts, and it was the best work for feudal rulers to govern the people spiritually. Therefore, the rulers at that time adopted Dong Zhongshu's opinion and crowned Confucianism as the first of a hundred schools. Since then, it has established an unparalleled position of Confucianism, and Confucius has been respected as a saint by the rulers. From then on, no matter which dynasty established the ruling regime, Confucius and Confucianism must be respected. Because Confucianism has become the foundation of feudal rule.

The concept of "benevolence"

On the one hand, Confucius was respected by later generations ideologically, and the "benevolence" he advocated contained all virtues; He also asked the rulers to "love" and "rule the country by virtue" and oppose tyranny and arbitrary punishment and killing. In that era of disputes between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people were naturally grateful to Confucius. Finally, there is a person who thinks from the perspective of the people and even asks the ruler to cherish the people. In this way, Confucius was handed down from generation to generation and respected.

In a word, we actually admire Confucius' cultural thought. Confucius taught everyone to be kind to others, in fact, to be modest. I think this is the basic principle of being a man and should be advocated and carried forward. At the same time, Confucius is also a respectable person.
