What are the Confucian classics?
Confucian classics mainly include Thirteen Classics, Four Books and Jason Wu. Details are as follows:

1, four books:

《? Learn "(in the Book of Rites? ), the doctrine of the mean (in the Book of Rites? ), The Analects of Confucius, Meng? 》。

2. Five Classics:

Zhouyi, Shangshu, Book of Songs, Book of Rites, Zuo Zhuan.

Note: In the Southern Song Dynasty, the traditional five classics were supplemented and reclassified by scholars at that time, and they were collectively called thirteen classics, namely: Zhouyi, Book of Songs, Shangshu, Zhou Li, Chunqiu Zuozhuan, Chunqiu Gongyang Zhuan, Chunqiu Guliang Zhuan, Yili.

Confucianism has far-reaching influence:

Confucianism is one of the most influential schools in ancient China since Dong Zhongshu "ousted a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone". Confucianism, as the embodiment of China's inherent value system, is not an academic or school in the usual sense. Generally speaking, in the pre-Qin period, Confucianism was just one of hundred schools of thought, with the same status as other hundred schools of thought.

Confucianism has a profound influence on China culture. In the feudal society for thousands of years, China people only taught the Four Books and Five Classics from generation to generation. In China's genes, ideas such as responsibility (taking the world as one's duty), loyalty and filial piety (benevolence, courtesy, wisdom and faith), forgiveness (don't do to others what you don't want others), and ethics (self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and calming the world) are all the results of the combination of Confucianism and autocratic rule.
