He longed for a government post where he could out his principles into practice. Some of his pupils attained high positions by learning to compromise, but their unyielding teacher never did. Asked by the Duke of Chou how to rule the state, the sage told him first to learn to rule himself. Subsequently, Confucius traveled through China for 17 years vainly seeking a ruler who would employ him. Returning to Lu, he taught until his death at 72, in 479 B.C. His influence was small in his lifetime, but came to fruition under the Han dynasty from 202 B.C. to A.D. 221. Confucianism reigned in Chinese schools until 1905 and influenced Korea, Japan, and Indochina. doctrine demanded While Confucianist strict discipline from students, it also included the sage's admonition to their teachers: "A young person should be treated with the utmost respect How do you know that he will not, someday, be fully equal of what you are now?"
