Story of Origin
Around 1500 B.C.,
the Indo-Aryan
people migrated to
the Indus Valley,
and their language
and culture
blended with that
of the indigenous
people living in
the region.

born into a
wealthy family
was moved by
suffering in the
world. He decided
to endure poverty,
when that didn’t
work for him he
promoted existing
between two
extremes. he
wanted a life
without social
indulgences but
also without
deprivation. He
spent the rest of
his life teaching
others about how
to achieve this
Confucianism
began as a
revival of an
earlier
religious
tradition.
There are no
Confucian
gods, and
Confucius
himself is
worshipped

rather than a
god.
