[quote=CHYNAGYRL,38116]Yes, GRIZ326, I really should like to read Confucius' books. Better to go to the source always. I hope I'm not giving the idea that I'm rejecting my own cultural values. People say that Chinese born abroad are sometimes more Chinese than those born in China... I lived in Korea (a Confucianist country) for several years and felt that people often interpreted his teachings in a way that I wasn't sure if was his original intention. I don't know about China today, but Korea is a very Confucianist country and it's very ageist, elitist, and male chauvinist. (Koreans can tell you those are the Confucian heritage). From what my friends told me though, China's practice of Confucianism is milder and less traditional because of the Cultural Revolution and its emphasis on giving women more leadership roles in society and disregarding the intellectuals.[/quote]
