Why is Confucianism called "Confucianism"? Where do these two words come from?

Confucianism is called "Confucianism" because the word "Confucianism" can be traced back to ancient times and appeared in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. The image of bathing people is reflected in people's behavior, which is a metaphor for political gentleness and morality. This word is very similar to the theory founded by Confucius during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so it was named "Confucianism".

Writing is the carrier of civilization. There are many languages in the history of our country, representing a long history of 5,000 years. Among them, it first appeared in ancient Oracle Bone Inscriptions, mainly hieroglyphics, a civilization left over from people's production and life experience.

Every Oracle Bone Inscriptions has its background, especially the life background. The word Confucianism is no exception. It was originally a Oracle Bone Inscriptions character, abstracted from the way people bathe. Later, it was used to refer to people's modest quality and good state governance.

There are many types of personality, and so is political rule. Especially political rule, before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the pioneers of Xia, Shang and Zhou all pursued the rule of virtue, which was the ideological basis for Confucius to establish Confucianism.

Confucianism is a branch of a hundred schools founded by Confucius during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It advocates being close to the people and benevolent governance, which embodies the people-oriented thought. Confucius is a pioneer of Confucianism. He collected disciples, educated the people, collected relevant thoughts lost and scattered among the people in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, explained and analyzed them, and finally founded Confucianism.

Confucianism is different from Confucianism. Confucianism is a science, and Confucianism is a sect based on Confucianism. This sect was fully developed in the Han and Tang Dynasties, which had a far-reaching impact on China's political rule.
