Confucius begins as he is born into humble circumstances, with his guardian, Tchang, taking a significant role in his early upbringing. The story sets a tone of reverence for the ancient Chinese tradition, as Tchang recounts tales of Confucius’s early wisdom and character traits, which become foundational to his later teachings.
