Being a great thinker, educator and founder of Confucianism, Confucius is an ancient sage during the Spring and Autumn Period. His words and life story were recoreded by his students in The Analects. As an enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analects has influenced all thinkers, writers and politicians over 2000 years of China. Much of Confucian thought represents human values. This is perhaps why Confucian thought still got attention from Chinese in the 21 century. What’s more, Confucius Institute has been set up in many countries and received recognition.
As for me, I don’t have a good knowledge of Confucius until an exhibition about him in my primary school when I’m in the fifth grade. His words ‘A man who is talented and curiousness should not be ashamed of learning from those intellectual inferior to him’ corrected my false learning attitude,and I learned to be modest from ‘To know that we know what we know, and we don’t know what we don’t know,that is true knowledge’. Confucian has affected my learning, character and other aspects, it’s no doubt that he is a great cultural hero to my mind.
In modern society, cultural exportation is an significance standard to measure a country’s comprehensive national strength, so the spread of Confucian is worth a shot.
英雄很多，但很少有人能稱之為文化英雄。在我看來，一個能使人們接受并擁護的人是文化英雄。今天我要介紹我的文化英雄孔子，他曾激勵過我。孔子是春秋時期偉大的思想家、教育家和儒家學派的創(chuàng)始人，他的話和生活故事被他的學生記錄在《論語》中?！墩撜Z》作為中國古代文化的一部經(jīng)久不衰的經(jīng)典史籍，影響了無數(shù)人，這也許就是為什么儒家思想在21世紀仍然受到中國人關注的原因。此外，孔子學院已在許多國家設立并得到認可。至于我，在我小學五年級的時候有一次關于孔子的展覽，我才對孔子有所了解。他說的“敏而好學，不恥下問，是以謂之文也?！奔m正了我錯誤的學習態(tài)度，我學會了謙虛，因為“知之為知之，不知為不知，是知也?！比寮宜枷胗绊懥宋业膶W習、品格等各個方面，毫無疑問，他是我心中偉大的文化英雄。（指導老師：應忠意）
