I cannot help to ask: what are your background on Chinese history? What do you recommend for an overview on Confucius?

You seem articulate thousands of years of history, and one of the most ancient philosophy and culture system, and it’s impact in so few words that I dare not to challenge - because, as a Chinese myself, I never gained enough understanding on Confucius, and had no capacity to summarize its impact or origin to even fellow Chinese friends.

In the end, I doubt your credential as a competent commentator on such a complicated topic.

But I have no intellectual capacity to either endorse or deny your statement.

A great new-ish podcast is: The Fall of Civilizations Podcast. They have one on the Han dynasty, the first in China’s history. Worth a listen.
