Definition
Related to Confucius or his teachings about ethics, social harmony, and proper conduct; a follower of Confucian philosophy.
Etymology
From Confucius, the Latinized name of Kong Fuzi (551-479 BCE), Chinese philosopher. The name comes from Kong (family name) + Fuzi (master or teacher). The -ian suffix marks devotion to a person's ideas.
Kelly Says
Confucius never wrote down his teachings—everything we know comes from his students' notes. His ideas about respect, duty, and harmony were so powerful they shaped East Asian civilization for 2,500 years and influenced even European philosophers.
