I need help Confucianism beliefs?

So first off what is their concept of creation and who/what created it.
and secondly what, if any, are the different sects of Confucianism?
ah... maybe I should have told everyone that this is for a world history project and I am having a hard time finding this on line. I was also reading somewhere about the "Tao chi" and it having something to do with the yin yang sign and something created it..... I have 4 more religions after this so I really do need help with these two subjects!

not sure.

Confucius said he doesn't care. he's busy enough dealing with now and here already. he doesn't give a crap about that stuff. he told people to stop wasting time on what might be and focus on NOW.


"Confucius discouraged his students from worrying about the afterlife. Instead, he encouraged them to live in harmony and to help other people through ..."

"Although Confucianism is often followed in a religious manner by the Chinese, arguments continue over whether it is a religion. Confucianism lacks an afterlife, its texts express complex and ambivalent views concerning deities, and it is relatively unconcerned with some spiritual matters often considered essential to religious thought, such as the nature of the soul."

Confucius also is noted to not believe in deities. In western terms he would be classified as atheistic.


AND NARCISSITIC CHRISTIANS THINK YOU CAN'T HAVE MORALS WITHOUT GOD(S).

Not more homework surely!

There are two different Confucian branches: Those who are confused and those who are more confused.

Always was ,and is.No-thing.One hand clapping

Confucianism is more of a philosophy than a religion. He taught how to live today in a society. That is why it works so well with atheism in today's China. They don't contradict each other; rather, they compliment each other. Most atheists in China (including party members) would say that they could adhere to the teachings of Confucius. It is very difficult to answer your questions for these reasons. Every person in China would have a different answer, so in that sense there are different sects, but it's not like they meet by sects. In fact, they don't meet! Perhaps you've been exposed to Western Confucianism.
