When he died about 479 B.C. he was largely unknown. He had little influence in his own lifetime. But about 200 B.C. the rulers of the Chinese Empire approved of Confucianism's emphasis on public service and respect for authority. In 124 B.C. the

Chinese government established the Imperial University to educate future government officials in Confucian ideals. The Imperial University based its teachings on the five books of Confucian thought called the "Five Classics".
