Confucianism was called out by later generations. It was called the Tao of Kong Zhou in the pre-Qin period, the Tao of Confucius and Yan in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and later the Tao of Confucius and Mencius.

As for Confucianism divided into eight and Mozi three, Han Feizi is the earliest one in the literature.

The first person to scold Confucianism was in Xunzi Fei's Second Son, who scolded several Confucian scholars.

It was not until the spread of western learning that the founder of Confucianism was first put forward by Hu Shi.

Confucianism, also known as Confucian ethics, Confucian ethics, holy religion and sacred learning, roughly coincides with Confucianism, Confucianism and Confucian scholars. However, Dong Zhongshu's "exclusive respect for Confucianism" has many changes with Confucianism, with less intersection and more interlacing. After the Middle Ages, it seems that Confucianism has gradually been called the concept completely equivalent to Confucianism.

Confucius is a figure who inherits and develops the great achievements of China tradition, including seven authors, including Tang, Wen and Wu. So, strictly speaking, your question is a false one.

If we have to compare ourselves with the founders of western religions since the spread of Western learning, we can follow their story: Kong Qiu.
