Confucianism

Confucianism is an ethical system rather than a religion. (Ethics deals with human behavior and conduct.) Confucius was mainly concerned with how human beings behaved toward each other Confucius believed that people, desire to live in the company of other people, that is, in society. It is only in society that people reach their fullest development. It is important for people to know how to behave in society

The Five Basic Relationships According to Confucius, each person had a specific place in society and certain duties to fulfill. Confucius hoped that if people knew what was expected of them they would behave correctly He set up five principal relationships in which most people are involved. These relationships were: ruler and subject father and son elder brother and younger brother husband and wife friend and friend. All, except the last, involve the authority of one person over another. Power and the right to rule belong to superiors over subordinates The "superior," however, owes loving responsibility to the inferior.

The Family and the State Confucius placed great importance on the family. Family life was seen as a training ground for life in society. It is at home in the family that the child learns to deal with problems that he or she will face later in the world. The family is responsible for educating the child to be a good member of society. Confucius emphasized the importance of education, the aim of which is to turn people into good family members, responsible members of society, and good subjects of the emperor. The state (government) was regarded as an extension of the family in many ways. The emperor and his officials were referred to as the parents of the people. Subjects owed the same loyalty to their rulers that they owed to the senior members of their family.

The Emperor’s Duties Confucius believed that for society to be well ordered and for people to live in peace and prosper, it was necessary to have a good government and a virtuous ruler. It was the duty of the emperor to set a good example for the people. The good example of the ruler would transform the people, and make them better. Confucius believed that if the emperor is not morally perfect, heaven would cause the world to suffer. The emperor also had to maintain the proper relationship between him and heaven. Heaven was regarded as the governing authority of the universe and the final judge of right and wrong. The Chinese believed that a dynasty ruled as long as it held the "Mandate of Heaven," that is, the right to rule. The people felt they had the right to say whether or not the ruler had the Mandate.
