Detailed explanation-1: -Confucius (, circa 551–479 BC) The creator of Confucian beliefs was Confucius. He was born around 551 BC, at a time of great philosophical creativity (the Spring and Autumn Period). It’s generally believed that when Confucius was in his late 60s, he returned to his hometown Qufu in Shandong Province.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mencius (/ˈmɛnʃiəs/ MEN-shee-əs); born Meng Ke (Chinese: ); or Mengzi (Chinese: ; 372–289 BC) was a Chinese Confucian philosopher who has often been described as the “second Sage” (“”), that is, second to Confucius himself. He is part of Confucius’ fourth generation of disciples.
Detailed explanation-3: -Like Confucius and Mencius, Xunzi is much more concerned with what kind of person to be than with rules of moral behavior or duty, and in this respect his view is similar to Western virtue ethics. The goal of Xunzi’s ethics is to become a person who knows and acts according to the Way as if it were second nature.
