Context:

This large depiction of Confucius, one of the great cultural heros of Chinese history, was most likely used in a temple or at an altar dedicated to his system of thought.

Confucius was born at Ch'u-fu (Shantung Province) their capital of the state of Lu in 551 b.c. After spending much of his life travelling from state to state seeking a ruler who would adopt his principles of government, he returned to Ch'u-fu and spent many years teaching disciples until his death in 479 b.c. A great political and social thinker, his ideas, writings and moral precepts were codified and provided a basis to Chinese governmental and societal organizations for over 2000 years.
