Living in the 5th century BCE, great teacher Confucius laid the foundations for an outlook and way of life that focused on correct behaviour, humaneness and respect for one’s elders, precepts that are deeply embedded across East Asian countries to this day. His disciple, Meng Ke, outlined new ideas for rulers which provided the basis of Chinese political culture for many centuries afterwards. Laozi, the founder of Taoism and author of the \u003cem\u003eTao Te Ching\u003c\/em\u003e, wrote about the Tao, or the Way – the correct way of living attainable to all and which links all things. Sun Tzu’s \u003cem\u003eArt of War\u003c\/em\u003e provides advice on how to overcome and outwit an opponent (the basic tenets of which are often applied to business strategy today), while Zhu Xi taught the advantages of meditation as a method for self-knowledge and self-cultivation.
