Jaegyum: Hey Jaeyi, our teacher told us to learn about Confucius. Do you know who he is?

Jaeyi: Hmm, I think so. Wasn't he a really famous teacher from a long, long time ago in China? The website says he lived over two thousand years ago!

Jaegyum: Wow, that's super old! The website also says he taught people how to be good and kind. Things like being respectful to your parents and elders.

Jaeyi: Oh yeah! Like when we bow to our grandparents during Chuseok? Is that kind of like what Confucius taught?

Jaegyum: I think so. The website mentions filial piety – being devoted and respectful to your parents. It seems really important in his teachings.

Jaeyi: It also says he believed in being honest and fair. Like when we share our snacks equally?

Jaegyum: Exactly! Confucius thought that if everyone followed these rules, society would be more peaceful and harmonious. Like if everyone in our class was kind to each other, there would be no fights.

Jaeyi: That makes sense. The website says he had many students who went on to become important people. He must have been a really good teacher.

Jaegyum: He must have been! Imagine teaching so many people who remembered your words for thousands of years! It says his teachings are still important today in many countries.

Jaeyi: So, learning about Confucius is like learning about being a good person and how to live well with others.

Jaegyum: Yeah, I think so too. It’s interesting how someone who lived so long ago still has ideas that we learn about today.

Jaeyi: Maybe we should try to be more like what Confucius taught – more respectful and fair.

Jaegyum: Definitely! It sounds like a good way to be.
