Chairman Mao Zedong condemned Confucius, and during the disastrous Cultural Revolution, Red Guards destroyed Confucius' family home, family grave plot and a temple in his honor in his eastern hometown of Qufu, wrecking around 6,600 priceless relics. The philosopher's teachings are now gaining popularity as a way of bringing morals to the country which is contending with burgeoning wealth and the rise of consumerism. |
