He was a rejected teacher during his lifetime, but his writings and teachings have ever since exerted a great influence in China and Japan. 94:6.9
he was deified by followers in those spiritually dark ages of China which intervened between the decline and perversion of the Taoist faith 94:6.12
he had a God concept that was almost completely subordinated to the emphasis placed upon the Way of Heaven, the pattern of the cosmos. 94:6.10
he made a new fetish out of order and established a respect for ancestral conduct that is still venerated by the Chinese at the time of this writing. 94:6.9
