The position and influence of Confucius at home and abroad
In ancient times, Confucius was regarded as a "saint of heaven" and a "muduo of heaven". He was one of the most knowledgeable scholars in the society at that time, and was honored by the rulers of later generations as the saint, the most holy and the most holy teacher of Confucius, the master of Wang Xuan and the teacher of all ages. His Confucianism has a far-reaching influence on China and the world, and Confucius is listed as the first of the "Top Ten Cultural Celebrities in the World". He is revered as the father of Confucianism (non-Confucianism). With the expansion of Confucius' influence, Confucius' sacrifice once became a "great sacrifice" at the same level as the ancestor of God and country.

In the first century, Confucius culture went south to Vietnam and east to Japan. As early as the early Ming Dynasty, North Korea established Sungkyunkwan Hall in Seoul, offering sacrifices to Confucius in the Confucian Temple, which promoted the development of culture, science and technology and social progress.

Extended data

China culture, with Confucianism as the main body, is the only culture in ancient human culture that has never been interrupted and continues to this day. It covers a wide area, forming a vast and densely populated country. Before the mid-Ming Dynasty, the development level of economy, science and technology, culture and education in China was among the highest in the world, which promoted the development of world civilization in many aspects.

Confucian culture, represented by Confucius, can still spread abroad without relying on military force or government political background, and radiate to neighboring countries with great humanistic spirit-benevolence, kindness, harmony and moderation, forming a broad Confucian cultural circle. This fully shows that Confucius thought has had a great influence not only on Chinese civilization, but also on world culture.
