Confucianism is a way of thinking and living based on the ideas of Confucius, a great teacher and philosopher(哲学家) in ancient China. He lived over 2,500 years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period. His teachings influenced many countries in Asia.

Who was Confucius?

Confucius, or Kongzi, was born in 551 BCE(公元前) in the State of LU (鲁国)(now in Shandong Province). He loved learning and became a teacher. He travelled to many places, teaching people how to be kind, respectful, and wise. His students wrote down his ideas in a book called The Analects of Confucius (《论语》).

The Main Ideas of Confucianism

Confucius believed that people should be kind, respectful, and responsible. Confucianism focuses on five important values.

Ren (仁)—Kindness and Love

We should care for others and treat them with kindness. If we help others, we make the world a better place.

Yi (义)—Doing the Right Thing

We should always try to do what is right, even when it is hard. Being brave and fair is part of Yi.

Li (礼)—Respect and Manners

Good manners are important. We should respect our parents, teachers, and elders. Saying “ thank you” and “sorry” is part of Li.

Zhi (智)—Wisdom

Learning is very important. Confucius said, “If you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is a real mistake.” (过而不改,是谓过矣。)

Xin (信)—Honesty and Trust

We should keep our promises and tell the truth. Trust between people is very important in life and friendship.

How Confucianism Affects Our Lives

Even today, Confucianism teaches us how to be good people. Many Chinese families follow these ideas. In school, we respect teachers and work hard to learn. At home, we listen to our parents and help with chores. These are all parts of Confucian values.

When you speak on the telephone, you cannot use your facial (面部的) expression, eye contact and gestures to help communicate your message. Your voice must do the job.

A good voice is pleasant to listen to because it communicates a positive message. Keep in mind the following qualities of a good voice:

Speak in a voice neither too loud nor too soft. Speak louder when giving important information.

Speak slowly enough so that the listener has a chance to understand your message without your having to repeat it. Keep in mind that as you speak the other person may be taking notes.

Pronunciation is the correct way to say a word. To avoid mispronouncing (读错音) words, you may wish to check the pronunciation of unfamiliar words in the dictionary before you use them.

People with an accent unlike yours may not understand your pronunciation of some words. You also may not understand the pronunciation of some of their words. In these cases, careful pronunciation is very important for effective communication. You may need to repeat or spell words that are unusual or easy to be misunderstood.

The first aid (急救) you learn from a course is not quite like reality. Most of us feel afraid when dealing with “the real thing”. By overcoming these feelings, we are better able to use the first aid to cope with the unexpected.

Doing your part

First aid is not an exact science, and is thus open to human error. No matter how hard you try, the casualty (伤者) may not respond as hoped. Some conditions might lead to death, even with the best medical care.

Giving care with confidence

The casualty needs to feel protected and in safe hands. You can create an air of confidence and safety by:

• being in control, both of yourself and the problem;

• acting calmly and reasonably;

• being gentle, but firm, with your hands, and speaking to the casualty kindly, but hopefully.

Building up trust

Talk to the casualty throughout your examination and treatment (治疗).

• Explain what you are going to do.

• Try to answer questions honestly to reduce fears as best as you can. If you do not know the answer, say so.

I finished middle school in the 1970s. I still remember the teen years were the 31 time of my life. At that time, as a girl, I hated it when my parents asked me 32 about my problems that made me uncomfortable.

He was a teacher I will never 34 .
