What do people in China today think about Confucius and his philosophy?

Are his teachings still considered important?|||i think they got it cool|||ahh Although I'm Chinese, it's not easy to give out an answer.


In today China,not many chinese people have read his book or have an main idea of his philosophy,but his philosophy affacts every one in China more or less,for it's a very important part of the culture in the past 2000 years|||Confucius is admired by most Chinese people with a sense of culture and tradition. His ideas to this day are still used as an ethical and social hierarchical guideline for proper conduct of individuals, corporations and government officials. However his ideas are constantly challenged (or conflicted) by modern ideas like individualism, capitalism and communism in today's rapid changing China. There is stronger influence of Confucianism in some areas of society than other parts. Example, Confucian ideas of relationship between family and friends remains quite unchanged whereas in parts of society where big money and power come into play Confucianism is usually only heard and not practiced at all.|||his philosophy is rational...


can be used even in the modern society...|||I think most people really do not think about him much at all, but, his ideas have deeply penetrated the culture and society, people act and behave according to a lot of his teaching and do not realize it
