He absorbed China s cultural traditions accumulated during the 25 centuries before his time. They were rich, but somewhat schematic. He coordinated them, re-organised them, evaluated them, developed them into a profound new system of ethics and political philosophy for the benefit of posterity, thus providing a solid foundation for national existence during the 25 centuries after him.
