Confucianism was once a very powerful and influential religion/philosophy throughout Asia, but is gradually losing followers. In a rapidly changing society, people find it difficult to adapt this way of thinking into a modern one. They are becoming more open to new ideologies, and less interested in old traditions. Many Confucian-based principles and traditions have been put aside, including the importance of family, which is now less emphasized. However, there have been a number of Confucian revivals in certain areas of China. Grade schools and universities are offering courses which teach traditional Confucian values. The outlook for this religion is undecided so far, but it still remains a large and influential part of Asian culture.(picture: traditional Palilmu dance, ritual for Confucius)
