There is probably no figure in Chinese history or culture who is more of a lightening-rod for anti-China Western bias than Confucius.He is often stereotyped as a self-righteous,backward-looking,rule-bound supporter of rigid hierarchical social structures,while his Analects is often portrayed as a collection of moralistic pieties,reminiscent of the“few precepts”that the comically sanctimonious Polonius delivers to his son Laertes in Hamlet.
