Continuation:
Historical sources mention that Confucius was descended from the royal family of the Tso-chuanda Shang dynasty.
There is also an opinion that usually such facts are not based on very strong evidence, as if it naturally occurs as a possibility that the philosopher belongs to a ruling dynasty.
About Confucius's family and social position, it is said that he was orphaned at a young age. He was the only person with the name Kung in the Lu dynasty mentioned in historical sources.
