Answer 1

You really should start off by looking at the wikipedia article on Confucianism.

Adherents of Confucianism are usually also adherents of another religion.

Anyway, short answers are:

1: China

2: Confucius

3: Do the correct thing.

4: Not concerned with God. There is a chief God, but he exists more for the purpose of demonstrating how everybody has both inferiors, and superiors, than anything else.

5: The Five Classics of Confucius

6: These tend to be regional. There used to be public, prescribed rituals, but the Communist government abolished them circa 1948.

7: The five relationships define how one is to act.

Answer 2

1.China
2.Confucias(sp.)& Mencius
3.Man's relationship with his fellow man: Doing good deeds for others, & honour.
4.They believe that Heaven(or Ti'en)rules over the world. Also believe in ancestor worship.
5.Analects of Confucias; Analects of Mencius; The I Ching, & a couple of others.
6. Ceremonies in the Temple: Sacrifices offered to Heaven.
7.See #3.
