About China A great deal of Chinas social values is derived from Confucianism, a major system of thought in Chinese philosophy. Confucianism developed from the teachings of Confucius and his disciples. The ideology has influenced the Chinese attitude towards life, set the patterns of living and standards of social value concerned with the principles of good conduct, statecraft, practical wisdom, and proper social relationships. Confucianism became the official ideology of the Chinese state. However, the great teaching has never existed as an established religion with a Church, priesthood and such. Chinese scholars revered Confucius as a great teacher, philosopher, and sage and but did not elevate the worship of him as a personal god.
