About living and dying, the Confucians have an attitude, "Not knowing life, how can we know death." Because Confucius emphasized "putting one's efforts where they would have an effect," he thought that it was no worth talking about death and was only concerned about the world of the living, staying away from questions about the origin of life.
對於生死問題，儒家持「未知生，焉知死」的態度，因為注重「可行之道」的孔老夫子，深知談也無益，因而只關心今生今世，不涉及生命本源的問題。
