Confucius sought to nurture “junzi” through a balance of moral integrity and practical talent. By teaching the Six Arts and the Classics, he provided a comprehensive education designed to achieve benevolent governance and refine the inner self.

Episode 15 – Teaching Without Barriers: Education for All

Refusing to serve in a corrupt government, Confucius opens his private school to everyone, regardless of status. By providing education without discrimination, he seeks to cultivate virtuous leaders capable of restoring peace and order to a chaotic world.
