One of the most famous people in ancient China was a wise philosopher named Confucius (circa 551-479 BC). He sometimes went by the names Kong Zi though he was born - Kong Qiu - styled Zhong Ni. He was born in the village of Zou in the country of Lu. This chinese man was a well-known leader in philosophy and he also made many wise phrases and theories about the law, life, and the government. Philosophy is a kind of a system of ideas and thoughts that talk about the human's behavior, the rules that you should follow to make a successful life, and about the government. In other words, it's about thoughts and theories that teach other people lessons about principles, or rules, about life and it also teaches you a moral ( sort of like the morals that are at the end of a fable). Confucius is famous for his philosophy because he made many wise sayings in ancient China that helped many people learn about nature, the world, and the human behavior. He also helped the government and the emperor by teaching them lessons on how the emperor should rule his kingdom successfully. Confucius was born in a poor family in the year 551 B.C., and he was born in the state of Lu. His original name was K'ung Ch'iu. His father, commander of a district in Lu, died three years after Confucius was born, leaving the family in poverty; but Confucius nevertheless received a fine education. He was married at the age of 19 and had one son and two daughters. He worked as a keeper of a market. Then he was a farm worker who took care of parks and farm animals. When he was 20, he worked for the governor of his district.

Confucius was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher of the Spring and Autumn Period。孔子是春秋时期中国的思想家和哲学家。Kong Qiu (孔丘), as Confucius is commonly known, is a combination of his surname (孔) and his given name (丘), and he was also known as Zhong Ni (仲尼), which is his courtesy name.孔子又名孔丘，孔是姓，丘是名，字仲尼，仲尼是人们对孔子的尊称。Confucius was born in 551 B.C., in the Spring and Autumn Period, at the beginning of the Hundred Schools of Thought philosophical movement.孔子出生在公元前551年的春秋战国时期，也是中国诸子百家争鸣运动的初期。The philosophy of Confucius emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity.Confucius' principles had a basis in common Chinese tradition and belief. He valued strong familial loyalty, ancestor worship, respect of elders by their children (and, according to later interpreters, of husbands by their wives), and the family as a basis for an ideal government. He expressed the well-known principle, "Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself", one of the earlier versions of the Golden Rule.孔子的哲学思想强调的是个人美德和政治原则，和谐的社会秩序，以及公正和真诚的社会环境。孔子学说是中国传统文化和信仰的基础。他提倡忠诚于家庭，敬奉祖先，尊老爱幼，他认为和谐的家庭关系是政治的稳定基础。他的经典名言---已所不欲勿施于人---是黄金法则的最早版本之一。这是我自己翻的，供楼主参考。

孔子的道德思想
孔子建构了完整的“德道”思想体系：在个体层面主张“仁、礼”之德性与德行。德道思想体系是以性善论（“一阴一阳之谓道，继之者善也， 成之者性也” ）为基础 ，以立人极为旨归，以人道与天道、地道相会通，人道中庸又适时之变为方法论的完足思想体系。
孔子的仁说，体现了人道精神，孔子的礼说，则体现了礼制精神，即现代意义上的秩序和制度。
人道主义这是人类永恒的主题，对于任何社会，任何时代，任何一个政府都是适用的，而秩序和制度社会则是建立人类文明社会的基本要求。孔子的这种人道主义和秩序精神是中国古代社会政治思想的精华。
孔子晚年时期的最高理想称之为“大同”，在大同的世界里 ，天下的人 ，不止以自己的家人为亲，不止以自己的父母儿女为爱，而是相互敬爱，爱天下所有的人。
使老有所终，壮有所用，孩子们都能获得温暖与关怀，孤独的人与残疾者都有所依靠，男人各自有自己的事情，女人有满意的归宿。天下没有欺诈，没有盗贼，路不拾遗，夜不闭户，人人讲信修睦，选贤举能，大道之行也，天下为公。
