Han Is Often Used Loosely
I think you are half right. Actually Han and Democracy are often loosely used. Try to think of Han as Chinese just after the merger of Chu kingdom. Like a flagship company renaming itself after acquiring another competitor company. Same goes for renaming RTS to SBC, to TCS, to Mediacorp. Got diff meh ?
Confucius and me, Conqueror are Shang descendants. Am I not a Chinese ? Maybe, I cannot use the word Han (the Liu descendants). We have different paternal line BUT we are all come from the same 黄帝 Yellow Emperor tribe.
子 + 乙 = 孔
Unless, you tell me he was an Ang Mor or of a Caucasian race. I have always suspected Zhang Hai Jie's heritage. She has that Ang Mor look.
孔子(前551年—前479年),子姓孔氏[1],名丘,字仲尼,魯(今中國山東曲阜)人,中國春秋末期的思想家和教育家。孔子是自漢代起中華文化中的主流學說儒家的首代宗師,並且被後世尊為萬世師表。孔子和他創立的儒家思想對中國和朝鮮、日本、越南等地區有深遠的影響,這些地區又被稱爲儒家社會地區。
歷代追封追諡
孔子去世後,歷代帝王為彰顯對孔子的尊崇,不斷追封追諡。
