Confucius was a Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history. The philosophy of Confucius, also known as Confucianism, emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the Hundred Schools of Thought era only to be suppressed in favor of the Legalists during the Qin Dynasty. Following the victory of Han over Chu after the collapse of Qin, Confucius's thoughts received official sanction and were further developed into a system known in the West as Neo-Confucianism, and later New Confucianism (Modern Neo-Confucianism).

I need a new one.** A: Duke 551 uses standard international cartridges and converters. Or you can use a blunt syringe to refill the one you have! But cartridges are disposable, yeah. **Q: I see it has a bamboo- like texture -Is the body of the pen textured or smooth?** A: It has a little bit of texture but it's lacquered or something so it's still smooth. So - you can feel that it's wood but it's not rough or unpleasant at all. Actually, it's a pretty incredible pen, really. I was not disappointed. It's a heavy pen, but it's well balanced. I do like the feel of the body. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***E on May 31, 2018* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***. on December 8, 2023* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by O***A on November 15, 2024* ## Frequently Bought Together - Lanxivi Duke 551 Confucius Fude Nib Fountain Pen Bent Nib Natural Bamboo Medium to Broad Art Handwriting Drawing Calligraphy Pen - Platinum Carbon Ink Bottle 60ml - Black - Sailor Fude De Mannen - Stroke Style Calligraphy Fountain Pen - Bamboo Green - Nib Angle 55 Degrees (11-0127-767) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/39445999-duke-551-confucius-fude-nib-fountain-pen-bent-nib-natural](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/39445999-duke-551-confucius-fude-nib-fountain-pen-bent-nib-natural) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
