Confucius is the Latin for the Chines Kung-Fu-Tze. Kung (family name), fu (given name)

Confucius was born in the province of Lu (now Shantung). His father, an elderly military
commander, died when he was 3 years old but the boy was precocious. At an early age, he
mastered the learning of his day. The death of his mother drove him to despair. He secluded

 philosophy. He became the founder of Chinese literature.
