Confucianism

42361 Confucian philosophy was created by Confucius in 6th-5th century BCE that is purely based on morals and human relations. The family unit is the most important, as it's seen in three of the "five relationships" that include "sovereign-subject, husband-wife, parent-child, elder brother- younger brother, friend-friend" (Columbia University). The purpose of the philosophy is for each person within these relationships to have a mutual ethical responsibility so that society can thrive in harmony. To achieve harmony, everyone must continuously pursue perfection by practicing humaneness (or compassion), righteousness, rituals, and wisdom. These virtues are embedded in living in moderation, considering others' well-being, and placing morality over physical might. This standard is held the highest for those in leadership to set the example. This philosophy shapes the moral standard for China's society. Today, Confucianism is still practiced and is a vital part of Chinese culture that profoundly affects how the Chinese people perceive historical events (Columbia University).
