Over time, these "rules", or rather practices, evolved from forced habits to form their own religion. This was the result of the snowball effect: as more and more thinkers began to understand these rules, they added their own idea, just like adding snow to a snowball, and the ideas thinkers were accepted and became part of the process. religion. One of these thinkers, Kong-fu-zi, or better known to the outside world as "Confucius", was one of the most important scholars of Confucianism and is often considered the founder of Confucianism. As with any other religion, Confucianism has its own religious texts, most of which are considered “sacred”.
