Chinese philosopher Confucius’s principles had a basis in common Chinese tradition with an emphasis on ancestral veneration, respect for one’s elders, and strong family loyalty. His teachings left a legacy of disciples and gained widespread prominence throughout the mid-first century and became the official imperial philosophy of China after his death in 479 B.C.E.
