Noun. [B2]
Examples
“The earliest leader of a school of thought was Confucius (K’ung-tzu).”
La Chine Ancienne
“The earliest fundamental understanding of the nature of health and disease, expounded by the Nei Ching, would have been forgotten were it not for an element peculiar to Chinese culture: the worship of their ancestors, a practice which runs far deeper than the respect shown for Western patriarchs. It was formalized by the teaching of K’ung-tzu, whose Latinized name is Confucius.”
“So, K’ung-tzu says: 'To master oneself and return to propriety is humanity' (Bk 12.1). We see, in this view, that humaneness was a quality which K’ung-tzu believed to be embodied in li, tradition and custom.”
