Confucius, a student of Laozi, revised the Six Classics (Poetry, Book, Rite, Music, Book of Changes, Spring and Autumn) in his later years. After the death of Confucius, his disciples and re-disciples compiled the words, deeds and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples into a Confucian classic-The Analects of Confucius.
