Introduce some background information about Confucius. Confucius (551-479 BCE), China’s most renowned philosopher, the founder of Confucianism, stresses Ren (benevolence, love) and Li (rites), referring to respect for the system of social hierarchy (等级制度). He attaches importance to education and was a pioneering advocate for private schools. He is famous for teaching students according to their personalities. His teachings were later recorded by his students in The Analects. Confucius believed that everyone should have equal access to education. 3.

Discuss the questions. 1) In what ways do you think Confucian thought still influences education and society in China? Confucian thought has a great influence on Chinese education, because it teaches people to show great respect for teachers and the thinkers of the past. In Chinese society, Confucian thought has kept the family and respect for parents as a focal point. 2) Do you think that your life would change if you understood and practised ren every day? I have been trying to practise the principle of ren, but I’m not sure that my life would change that much. 3) How would the Confucian idea of fairness change society around you if everybody started practising fairness in everything? It would result in a more egalitarian (平等主义的) society, where people treated everyone with kindness and respect regardless of status. Step 3 Project: Making a poster to motivate others to practise virtues Activity 5 Making a poster to motivate others to practise virtues 1. In groups, brainstorm more virtues to add to the list (Core Socialist Values). Then discuss which of these virtues are most needed in our society today. Core Socialist Values: 1) The national values: prosperity/prɒˈsperɪtɪ/富强 democracy/dɪˈmɒkrəsɪ/民主 civility/sɪˈvɪlɪtɪ/文明 harmony /ˈhɑːmənɪ/和谐 2) The social values: freedom /ˈfriːdəm/ 自由 equality /ɪˈkwɒlɪtɪ/ 平等 justice /ˈdʒʌstɪs/公正 the rule of law 法治 3) the individual values: patriotism /ˈpeɪtrɪətɪz(ə)m/ 爱国 dedication/dedɪˈkeɪʃ(ə)n/ 敬业integrity/ɪnˈtegrɪtɪ/ 诚信 friendship/ˈfren(d)ʃɪp/ 友善 2. Make a poster to explain what virtue it is and to motivate people to practise it by following the tips and the sample. Tips: 1) Collect sayings or quotations about the virtue. 2) Analyse the sayings and group them in a logical way. 3) Look for or draw a picture to illustrate the virtue. The sample: THANKFULNESS Thankfulness is realising and appreciating what you have. Be thankful, because you have more than others! If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies in yourself. (Indian proverb) I had no shoes and complained, until I met a man who had no feet. (Indian proverb) Be thankful, because you have been given much! If you can read this, thank a teacher. (Anonymous) When eating fruit, think of the person who planted the tree. (Asian proverb) Be thankful, because it will shape your whole life! Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. (Oprah Winfrey) 3. Choose a few groups to present their posters to the class.
