The 80-volume publication, the longest family tree according to the Guinness Book of World Records, containing over 2 million manes of the offspring of the ancient Chinese educator and philosopher's family, is the result of 10 years' efforts of a compiling committee that for the first time puts all the female, ethnic and oversease Confucius family members into the tree. Confucius (551 BC-479 BC) is a great Chinese educator, philosopher, a renowned politician and the founding father of Confucianism. [Xinhua]
