[quote=CHYNAGYRL,228006]Sorry, this might sound like an odd question, but I am really wondering if you think Confucius' ideas have overall benefited or retarded Chinese civilization. Myself, I'm not sure. One thing I know is that Confucius' ideas were bad news for Chinese women. A lot of the negative aspects of traditional Chinese culture could be attributed to his teachings -- such as elitism, ageism, male chauvinism, although he did promote education and respect for one's elders, which are positive things. Please enlighten me, what other good things did he do for China? Right now, I just feel that he encouraged the upper class to be pompous and gave a lot of women low self-esteem. [/quote]
