{"product_id":"confucius-great-teacher-of-china","title":"Confucius: Great Teacher of China","description":"A beautifully illustrated biography of a man whose philosophy shaped the course of Chinese history: the great teacher Confucius.\nHis sayings are repeated throughout the world. His teachings set the course of Chinese society for two and a half millennia. But Confucius (551 BCE--479 BCE) remains merely a name to many readers, rather than the central figure of world history that he deserves to be. Award-winning author-illustrator Demi illuminates his life and influence in this elegant biography that will appeal to readers of all ages.\nConfucius loved books and learning, but he grew up during a time of great suffering and warfare in China. Troubled by the chaos he saw all around him, he devoted his life to reforming his society and government, with ideas about education and leadership that still resonate today. He encouraged everyone \"especially rulers\" to live moral lives, emphasizing the value of tradition and compassion. And five hundred years before Jesus set forth his Golden Rule, Confucius declared his Golden Mean: \"Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1620141930\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1620141930.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Demi\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
