Why is Confucius the representative foundation of China traditional culture?

Haha, this is the pride of our nation and the sorrow of our nation. We are proud because Confucius said that the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith advocated by Confucius are respected by our nation, and the golden mean is something that our country will learn and use flexibly when it is born. Sadly, our nation was forced to believe in Confucius and Confucius was respected. That's just the need for the ruler to consolidate his rule. The ruler needs Confucius' monarch and ministers and a good theoretical basis for his rule. Some thoughts of Confucius have imprisoned the thoughts of Chinese people and restricted the development of provincial capitals to some extent. It is only a political need to admire Confucius now. We should use the virtue advocated by Confucius to restrict people's thinking of laughing at poverty rather than prostitution. Because China people are afraid of poverty, and because they have been unable to fight corruption since the reform and opening up, people will worship you as long as you have money, no matter where your money comes from. Therefore, after advocating eight honors and eight disgraces, they will praise Confucius to make up for the crisis of China people's belief.

In fact, the root of the Chinese nation is Taoism, just look at Laozi.

By the way, Lao Tzu is Confucius' teacher.
