Just to let yall know that Confucius is the founder of Confucianism and was born in 551 bc and died in 479 bc . some thought that confucious had a hollow head AND THAT WAS WHERE HE KEPT HIS WISDOM
Confucianism may have gotten its name from a man named Confucius, but he is not the founder. There is no founder of Confucianism. There are also no current leaders (such as the Catholic Pope). It is more like a moral code or way to live life than an organized religion (even though technically, it is a religion).
The values have hhhhdddbeen around for over 1000 years before Confucious. I don't really think there was an exact date when it was founded. This religion is different from others. Its not an organized religion where somebody "founded" it. Its made up of values that have been around forever.

Confucius impacted the Han dynasty through his education beliefs. The methods of testing for power and the focus of Chinese education on memorization all came from Confucius. Han Wu Di, Liu Che, listened to him as he adopted the 'du zun ru xue' policy which meant that only Confucianism was learnt.
