Confucius
is supposed to have arranged his own works in a sort of psychological
order, from simple to complex, as a great teacher would do, Shi, Shu, Li and Yue constitute the general course of
study, while Yi and Chunqiu are more of a technical nature
and represent ancient concepts brought forward and captured in Confucius
time, and constitute a higher course of study. Shi and Shu are used for reading or symbolic education; Li and Yue are for practice or moral education; Yi and Chunqiu represent
the philosophy of Confucius. They contain his social and political theories
and cannot be understood by ordinary students. They are the technical
learning and belong to a higher form of education. That is why they
are put at the end of the whole course of study. The Yi or The
Book of Change has origins form ancient times rooted in the Yin-Yang
and Five Agencies theory.
Confucius
was primarily a moral teacher. Love (Ren),
the rules of proper conduct (Li), filial
piety, and doctrine of the Mean (Zhongyong) are the four main topics of moral teaching and part achievement
of Confucius.

The substance of the teaching of Confucius can be grouped under
three headings, namely: moral, intellectual, and religious. Confucius
was mainly interested in the moral life of men. The intellectual aim
of his teaching was in general subordinate to his moral aim, and his
religious teaching was chiefly reflective of the traditional beliefs.
He had very few comments. Both intellectual knowledge and religious
beliefs were, according to him, useless and not worth teaching if they
could not contribute towards the betterment of the practical moral life
of the individual. Again, we can recognize in this a balance of inner
and outer refinement, with the outer values we showing themselves in
social expressions-et always motivated by inner human spiritual development
(and reflective of a person's true inner state.)
