Abstract

In this paper, "The Analects of Confucius" as the main material, the first description of Confucius's life has experienced death of his father, mother died, mourning brother, widowed, childless, only all the unfortunate funeral. He is calm and obedient, but, according to ritual act. Secondly, this paper argues Confucius to help mourning as their main occupation, long face death without losing the truth people, for the funeral and religious rituals is to perform, not the slightest negligence, because behind these rituals on the day of his faith. Then, following the death of the spirits industry, what is the situation? Although Confucius and Confucianism have described, but most focus on the role of secular enlightenment, which is the in the "know as know, I do not know as I do not know" attitude, but it does not mean you can ignore the issue of retribution after death. Finally, the Confucius "hear the Tao, Xi die without regret," a phrase that the religious dimension of Confucian thought, that "a study of the transfer" to settle the possibility of life. Thus the conclusion is: there should be some stereotypes to death of Confucius. This article is based on The Analects of Confucius. First, we describe how Confucius suffered from the losses of his father, mother, brother, wife, son and disciple but still conformed to life as it was and followed Li . Second, this paper argues that Confucius made a profession of undertaking and faced death over time without losing his genuine feelings. Moreover he sincerely performed the funerary and worshiping ceremonies with all his heart, due to the fact that behind these rituals was his faith in the heaven. Then what is it like it the netherworld? Addressing to this issue sometimes, Confucius and other Confucians were mostly concerned with the moralizing function of the earthly world. This is certainly in accordance to the attitude advocated by "when you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it; this is knowledge. "But it doesn't mean the problems of after-death retribution can be ignored. Finally, one of the religious aspects of Confucius's thought is exemplified in the saying that "if he could hear the Dao in the morning, that evening he could die content," that is, it's possible that "a change of mind" could settle our life for good. Therefore our conclusion is: Confucius probably had a certain fixed opinion about death
