Solution

The correct option is B Five

Confucius was born in the Shantung province of China in 551 BCE. He studied history, poetry, philosophy and music. He is the author of five important works

  • The Book of Records

  • The Book of Odes

  • The Book of Changes

  • The Spring and Autumn Annals and

  • The Book of History

They laid down the systems of morals and social behaviour for individuals and communities. Hence Confucianism should be characterised as a system of social and ethical philosophy rather than as a religion.
