Inspirado pelo Duque de Chou, Confúcio editou seis clássicos chineses escritos pelo Rei Wen: Livro de Poemas, Livro de Ritos, Livro de História, Livro das Mutações (I Ching), Livro de Documentos e Livro de Música. Este último, infelizmente, se perdeu.

Today Confucius has a reputation for being stiff and reserved. But he was not without sensitivity. The story is told that he was once so moved by a performance of ancient music that he remained in a stupor for three months. When he finally came out of the trance, he said, “I never imagined that music could be so sublime.<ref>Confucius, ''Analects'', 7:13, trans. James Legge.</ref>
Atualmente, Confúcio é, reputado como uma pessoa rígida e reservada. Mas não era insensível. Conta-se que, certa vez, ficou tão tocado pela performance de um velho músico que permaneceu em estado letárgico por três meses. Quando finalmente saiu do transe, disse: “Nunca imaginei que a música pudesse ser tão sublime”.<ref> Confúcio, Os Analectos, 7:13.</ref>


We do not know much about Confucius’ life. He was married when he was nineteen and had a son and a daughter. He studied under various teachers and eventually gathered a group of students around him. For a time, he held a job as justice minister but was forced to abandon it and go into exile. Although Confucius had seventy-two disciples and more than three thousand students, he never realized his dream of becoming a prominent ruler in China.
