Although he has had many embodiments of service to the light, Confucius is best remembered for his contributions to the Chinese way of life. Known as K’ung Fu-tze (“Philosopher K’ung” or “Master K’ung”) to his contemporaries in the 5th century <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>., he set the stage for the eventual unification and administration of the Chinese empire. A brilliant social, economic, political and moral philosopher, Confucius laid the theoretical foundations that enabled China to become one of the greatest civilizations of all time. Despite the rise and fall of dynasties, the Confucian state prevailed; and eventually, through the spread of Chinese culture, his ideas were accepted throughout Eastern Asia. Seldom has one man influenced more people over a greater period of time.
Aunque ha tenido muchas encarnaciones de servicio a la luz, a Confucio se lo recuerda mejor por sus contribuciones a la forma de vida china. Conocido como K’ung Fu-tze («Filósofo K’ung» o «Maestro K’ung») por sus contemporáneos del siglo V a.C., estableció las bases para la unificación y administración del imperio chino que llegó más tarde. Como brillante filósofo social, económico, político y moral, Confucio puso las bases teóricas que permitieron a China convertirse en una de las civilizaciones más grandes de todos los tiempos. A pesar de la elevación y caída de las dinastías, el estado confuciano prevaleció; y, al final, mediante la expansión de la cultura china, sus ideas fueron aceptadas por toda Asia oriental. Pocas veces ha influido tanto un hombre en tanta gente por un período de tiempo tan grande.
