The main idea of Confucianism is Humanity, also can be said Benevolence. It asked the emperors to be kind to their people, while everyone should love each others and be polite. The Confucianism culture is the main part of Chinese ancient education. Confucius is the first one in Asia who brings out the idea that Education without Distinction, which encourage all people to accept education. It teaches people lots of knowledge in morality and solidify royal rule.
During the two thousand years in China history, Confucianism has experienced rise and fall. It was forbidden by Qin in Qin Dynasty, because the emperor only wanted centralization of authority, not benevolence governing. But Later, it was reused in Han Dynasty for comforting people to respect the royalty. From that, Confucianism has became the official idea in China. However, after rising to the top, it fell down to the bottom at the end of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of new China. There was a Chinese Culture Revolution at that time, most people were against Confucianism. Now, it returns to respectable status in education again.
Nowadays, there has lots of Confucius Institutes and Classrooms held in all over the world, spreading Chinese language, culture and Confucianism ideas. Confucius Institutes are held in Universities, where students who love Chinese can learn deeply knowledge about Chinese Culture and do research. Confucius Classrooms are attended by children from kindergarten to high school. In Confucius Institutes and Classrooms, students can study Chinese history, traditional culture and have many interesting experiences, like tea culture and brush writing.
Political affairs have also influenced the transnational culture communication. As an example, American government is concerned about the growing power of China, and it is afraid that Confucius Institutes would use Chinese culture to control or effect American students, thus some Confucius Institutes were asked to close down. However, all cultures should be equal, without the distinction of policy, owning its own free district.
