Korean Confucianism

South Korea is a country located in Asia on the Korean Peninsula. A "peninsula" is a piece
of land that has water on three sides. It shares this peninsula with another country, North
Korea.

Scientists have found evidence that people have lived on the Korean Peninsula for 2.5
million years. "Evidence" mean proof or signs that something is true. The country that
today we call the Republic of Korea or South Korea was created in 1948.

Even though it is a young country, it has many very old traditions. One of the most
important and beautiful traditions is that of Korean Confucianism.

Confucianism is a belief system or religion that originally came from China. It is based on
the teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius.

Confucianism came to Korea around the year 1400. Before that, many Koreans were
Buddhists.

After Confucianism arrived, many Confucian schools were built. These schools had big
libraries and were places to learn about the Confucian belief.

One of the most important parts of Confucian belief is ethics. "Ethics" means the rules you
live by and how you treat yourself and other people. In Confucianism, it is important to be
ethical and to treat others nicely and in the way that they should be treated.

Another important element (part) of Confucian belief is altruism. "Altruism" means

selflessness or helping other people without wanting anything in return. Confucius taught
that altruism was critical for a society to improve and become better. "Critical" means very
important.

It is also important to study and acquire (get) knowledge about the world and about your
culture. Confucians believe that having knowledge and learning about new things allows
you to live a good life and avoid bad things. "Avoid" means stay away from.

Rituals are another important element of Confucianism. A "ritual" is something you do the
same way every time. Some rituals practiced in Confucianism have to do with drinking tea,
arranging flowers, talking to people and with parts of the marriage ceremony.

These beliefs don't only apply to individual people. They are also important for the
government. Confucians believe that the government should also be ethical and
knowledgeable. The members of government should know a lot about the country and
should always act in the best interest of the citizens.

Even today, Korean Confucianism is very important to many South Koreans. It influences
people's relationships with each other, their relationships with their government, and the
way that they live their own lives.

Teachers and elders (older people) are highly respected in Korean society in part because
of Korean Confucianism. Confucian beliefs are also visible in many forms of Korean art.
"Visible" means that it can be seen easily.
