Confucius was a philosopher and politician during the Spring and Autumn period in China, traditionally regarded as a model of Chinese sages. Confucius' teachings and philosophy form the foundation of East Asian culture and society, and still have influence today. His ideology emphasizes values such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, which have had a profound impact on the moral ethics and political theory of later generations. The bamboo root sculpture "Confucius" created by Chinese arts and crafts master Liang Fengzhu in 2005 is now collected at the Liang Fengzhu Arts and Crafts Museum in Nanyue, Hengyang, China. Using bamboo roots as the material and employing exquisite carving techniques, the image of Confucius as a sage is presented.
