Description from the seller

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

Key principles of Confucianism:

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

Li (禮)
Rituals, etiquette and proper behavior in social relationships

Xiao (孝)
Filial piety and respect for parents and ancestors

Yi (義)
Righteousness and moral integrity

Zhi (智)
Wisdom and knowledge

Social harmony: Confucius emphasized the importance of the five fundamental relationships (ruler-subject, father-son, husband-wife, older-younger brother, friend-friend) with mutual respect and responsibility at the center.

The statue is in good used condition with signs of aging. (See photos)
Very finely detailed.
Carefully packaged and insured shipping.

Weight: 1.23 kilograms.
