The "sayings" of Confucius were collected by his disciples in a work called the analects. Confucian thought is moral, ethical and political. It penetrated all the aspect of the kingdom. The emphasis was more on the place of the human beings in nature and finding lifes purpose rather than accumulating power and wealth.
