AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Confucius (Kong Fuzi, 孔夫子, circa 551–479 BCE) was a Chinese philosopher, teacher and political thinker whose ideas have had a huge influence on Chinese culture and beyond.

Core principles of Confucianism:

Ren (benevolence)
Humanity, benevolence, and compassion as the highest virtue

Li (ritual)
Rituals, etiquette, and proper conduct in social relations

Xiao (filial piety)
Childish piety and respect for parents and ancestors

Yi (righteousness)
Justice and moral integrity

Zhi (wisdom)

Wisdom and knowledge

Social harmony: Confucius emphasized the importance of the five fundamental relationships (ruler-subject, father-son, husband-wife, elder brother-younger brother, and friend-friend), in which mutual respect and responsibility are central.

The statue is in good used condition with signs of aging. (See photos)
Very fine and detailed.
Carefully packed and shipped insured.
