confucius 孔子英文介绍

As you all know, China is greatly influenced by Confucianism. Today I will introduce a famous person ("people" is plural, "person" is singular) , Confucius. [Confucius, name Qiu, styled zhongNi, Lu Spring and Autumn period of people.]-- I don't understand what this means, but I believe "Lu Spring and Autumn period of people" should be "in the kingdom of Lu during the Spring and Autumn period" Is that what you meant?] Confucius is a famous ancient thinker, educator, and founder of

Confucianism. (lists that do not end in "etc." always need "and" before the last item in the list)

Confucius was born in a poor family in the year 551B.C, [and he was born --since you already said that he was born you do not need to say it again, so you can delete this] in the state of Lu (now QuFu Shangdong province). His father, commander of a district in Lu, died three years after Confucius was born, leaving the family in poverty, but Confucius received a fine education. He was married at the age of 19 and had one son and two daughters. Confucius was a well-known leader in philosophy .

[and he also made -- sounds more natural to say "He also is famous for" (usually you "create" or "say" phrases rather than "make" them)] many wise phrases and theories about [the ] law, life, and [the ] government. (Usually people consider

Confucius' sayings to apply to more than one type of law or government, so you do not need the article "the" (it is broader than "on government," etc.)) Confucius is famous for his philosophy because [he made many wise saying in ancient China that helped many people ]--"his wise sayings helped many people in ancient China" learn about nature, the world, and

[the--delete] human behavior. He also helped the government and the emperor by teaching them lessons on how the emperor should rule his kingdom successfully.

As the founder and great thinker of Confucianism, Confucius’s thoughts were mainly collected in the Confucian Analects (since the Confucian Analects are a specific thing, you need the article "the"). The Confucian Analects reflect Confucius’

[politics, thoughts, and ethical relation thoughts]--more natural to say "thoughts on politics and ethics" . If you want to know more about Confucius, you should read the Analects of Confucius. [I believe you could learn more from this

book. ]--repetitive. Could remove, or say "leanr more from this book than from (something else)"

[Thought of Confucius]--"Confucian thought" [in Chinese history of great significance]--"has great significance in Chinese history", [has ]--"having" already affected more than

two thousand years of history in China, therefore, Confucius’s position in history is also very high. Now, more and

more Chinese and foreigners [start ]--("are" or "have started") studying Confucian culture. Confucius[, are]--"is"(because you're talking about Confucius, a single person) worthy of

[great positions of]--"a great position in" (because usually one person only holds one position) China!

[At last,]--better to say "Lastly" ("at last" sounds like we waited a very long time for you to finish and are happy you are done, which is not the case :] ) I want to introduce something about the eyes of C onfucian gentleman. Gentlemanly (adding "-ly" makes "gentleman" an adjective to describe personality and sounds more natural) personality is one of the ideal personality modes which all Confucians [have been pursuing and adoring ]--(Confucians have been pursuing this idea for a long time, which is correct, but you should say that this mode is something which "all Confucians pursue and adore", because it is not just people who have been pursuing for a long time, it is also people who are just starting to pursue). If you want to be a perfect gentleman, it’s not easy. You should have a good command of the six arts : ritual, music, archery, carriage driving ("carriage" on its own is only a noun, need the act of

driving it to make it an art) , calligraphy and math e matics , but even this is not enough. Confucius said, "A gentleman does not seek satiety ("satiety" is a very hard word! I think it would be easier to say "satisfaction," this concept is a hard to translate easily into English) at the table or ease at home. He is diligent in business and cautious in speech. Both loyalty and filial piety are attained," and so on. Confucian philosophy is a kind of a system of ideas and thoughts that talk about [the human's ]--human beings' behavior and the rules that you should follow to [make ]--"have"(we usually say you "have a successful life" or you "make life successful") a successful life. Now, we are studing at QuFu, the hometown of Confucius. I think we must learn something from Confucius, although just a little. I know, maybe we could’t become a gentleman or gentlewoman, but we still could make a successful life through learning Confucianism.

Thank you, that’s all.
