It's more of him trying to resuscitate or rejuvenate some of the traditions of the past. Most historians would give him more credit, even though Confucius does look to the early Zhou dynasty for a lot of his inspiration, and he looks to a lot of the traditions of the ancestors. He definitely puts a spin on it, which makes it a very powerful philosophy and arguably religion as we get into this warring states period, and especially as we get into a more unified China under the Qin and Han dynasties. And as we'll see, under the Han dynasty in particular, Confucianism becomes essentially the state religion. Now to get a sense of what Confucius preached, and his life, he spent most of his life both teaching and preaching. A lot of people compare him to Socrates, even though he predates Socrates. And simultaneously, he was also building a career as a civil servant, but his legacy is definitely around his preachings, and most of his life was here in the state of Lu in eastern China.
