Abstract
confucius lived through a time of social change in China. Society was moving away from the old values, and towards more selfish pursuits that he felt were immoral and unjust. To this end, confucius taught others what he felt were the core values of ancient Chinese culture, and in effect changed China forever.
The two most stressed values that confucius taught were Ren, "Perfect Virtue", and Li, "Rules of Propriety", both of which, according to confucius, are needed in order to become a superior man. confucius' idea was if each person were to become superior men on their own, there would be no need for social reform, because everyone would already be living by values that perfected China as a whole.
