Confucius was deified during the Han Dynasty, specifically in 136 BCE, when Emperor Wu officially recognized him as a deity and established temples and rituals in his honor. This elevation marked the beginning of Confucianism as a state philosophy and religion in China. Over time, Confucius became venerated as the "Supreme Sage," reflecting his influence on Chinese culture and governance.
