¡@Confucius was a well-known teacher in the Lu Kingdom 2000 years ago. He taught many people moral lessons. Then he became a master of philosophy.

¡@He was even an advisor to the king of Lu. But the king didn't listen to Confucius' advice. So Confucius left the Lu kingdom. He taught people in other kingdoms good moral lessons.

¡@Many people studied his lessons. One of his most famous lessons is ¡§do not listen to, speak about, or watch bad things.¡¨

¡@Confucius had more than 3000 students. Many of them became famous scholars and politicians.

¡@To honor him, the Chinese Government declared Confucius' birthday as National Teacher's Day.

¡@On Teacher's day, many students say ¡§Thank you¡¨ to their teachers. This day is special for teachers and students, thanks to Confucius.
