Chinese people celebrate Confucius’ birthday every year. They read his teachings, and bow (鞠躬) to his picture. Why do people still love him after so many years?

Confucius said that “When three men walk together, my teacher must be among them.” “Learn and practice often what you have learned, isn’t it pleasant?” “Consider the past and you shall know the future.” These ideas are always popular in Chinese. People in many other places around the world welcome them as well. They believe that his ideas will make the world a better place. We should learn from the great thinker.
