儒家是諸子百家之一,由孔子所創(chuàng)立、孟子所發(fā)展、荀子所集其大成,之后延綿不斷,至今仍有一定生命力的學(xué)術(shù)流派。儒家思想對(duì)中國(guó)文化的影響很深,幾千年來(lái)的封建社會(huì),中國(guó)人代代傳授的不外《四書(shū)》、《五經(jīng)》。中國(guó)人基因中的責(zé)任思想、忠孝思想、恕的思想、倫理思想都是儒家思想與專(zhuān)制統(tǒng)治結(jié)合的結(jié)果。因此,儒家思想到現(xiàn)在還是華人的主流思想。

As one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, Confucianism was found by Confucius, developed by Mencius, and epitomized by Xunzi. It develops continuously and has vitality till now. Confucianism has profound influence on Chinese culture by the Four Books and the Five Classics taught by generation after generation during the thousands of years of feudal society. The ideas of responsibility, loyalty and filial piety, tolerance, and ethics are all the combination of Confucianism and autocracy. Therefore, Confucianism is still the mainstream ideology of Chinese people.
