Confucianism, an ancient philosophy that originated in China, is deeply rooted in the teachings of Confucius and his disciples. This influential belief system emphasizes moral values, social harmony, and respect for authority. Alongside other prominent figures like Lao-Tse and Buddha, Confucius played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural fabric of East Asia. In Southeast Asia's historic city of Melaka (Malacca), Malaysia stands the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple. Behind its ornate door lies a sanctuary where followers can seek wisdom from Confucian teachings. Similarly, Shanghai's Confucius temple houses a majestic statue honoring this revered philosopher. The spread extended beyond China's borders as well. Kukai embarked on a voyage to China to study Buddhism but returned with knowledge about this profound philosophy too.
