“The form of early agricultural villages that developed in the Near East endured largely intact for
millennia and was adopted as a model in the many regions throughout the Old World. Three
advances were behind the success of this way of life. First, the physiological changes in the
domestication made them more p. Productive and allowed them to be grown in a wider range of
environments. Second, the technology of food production, processing, and storage was
,improved. Third, changes in social values and organization enhanced the effectiveness of village
life and the new economy. Whatever were the actual details, this new way of living caught on,
and nucleated farming villages became the dominant life unit across the globe from then until the
current century.”

“Nature has four seasons and five elements. To grant long life, these seasons and elements must

body. Violent anger depletes Yin; violent joy depletes Yang.”

“It is thus with regard to the disease called Sacred: it appears to me to be nowise more divine
nor more sacred than other diseases, but has a natural cause from which it originates like other
afflictions. Men regards its nature and cause as divine from ignorance and wonder, because it is
not unlike the other diseases. And this notion of its divinity is kept up by their inability to
comprehend it, and the simplicity of the mode by which it is cured, for men are freed from it by
purification and incantations.”

“The examination system became instrumental to the spread of Confucianism in Chinese society.
Thus, the entire imperial bureaucracy was tutored in Confucian thinking. ....... The connection
between Confucius and government service made knowledge of Confucianism the best route to
career advancement. Confucius may have believed in learning for learning’s sake, but in
imperial China, the Confucian classic became equated with material betterment and social status.
Families everywhere threw their sons into Confucian studies in the hopes of getting them into the
imperial bureaucracy and advancing the family’s wealth and prestige.”
Michael Schuman, Confucius and the World He Created, 2015
