Sacred Text Archive - Confucianism and Traditional Beliefs
http://www.sacred-texts.com/cfu/index.htm

SACRED TEXT Here are key texts of Confucianism, the traditional state religion of feudal China. Although three of four of these books are traditionally attributed to Confucius, 551-479 B.C.E. it has been established that he did not write a single word of them; they were written down by his students after his death. The Analects come closest to an actual exposition of his philosophy. These works were put into their present form by Chu Hsi in the late twelfth century C.E. These four books were required reading in order to pass the civil service examinations, which were the gateway to employment in the Imperial bureaucracy.

Religion Library: Confucianism
http://www.patheos.com/Library/Confucianism.html

WEB RESOURCE Some say Confucianism is not a religion, since there are no Confucian deities and no teachings about the afterlife. Confucius himself was a staunch supporter of ritual, however, and for many centuries there were state rituals associated with Confucianism. Most importantly, the Confucian tradition was instrumental in shaping Chinese social relationships and moral thought. Thus even without deities and a vision of salvation, Confucianism plays much the same role as religion does in other cultural contexts. This Patheos site provides information about the origins, history, beliefs, rituals, and ethics of Confucianism
