Almost certainly both.

It's hard to even imagine that a petty Chinese noble from 2700 years ago would %100 share a value set with a modern Chinese-American.

It's kind of amazing how much of it is still relevant at all.

Oh, for sure. Though I think human nature hasn't drastically changed over the last few thousand years, so it being relevant isn't surprising to me.

But it is! Crazy. Reading Confucius helped me understand my parents. Even though they grew up in a generation that didn't read Confucius.
