Kong Fuzi, known to the West by his Latinized name as Confucius, was a great teacher advocating social reform in ancient China. His teachings were transmitted by travelers who traded and exchanged tribute along the Silk Road and across the merchant sea routes that traversed and connected the ancient world. Today the Confucian family and ancestral memorial systems continue to influence East Asian communities around the world. Although the Confucian way of life is integrated differently in these communities in relation to different historical, economic, and geographical factors, it continues to provide a structural basis for social and family life. Confucianism as a school of thought continues to change in accordance with changing contexts. Many of its values are now being rediscovered and touted by the post‐Maoist and semicapitalist government of mainland China. Confucius remains one of the most prominent figures to come out of China's long history
