Confucianism
Confucianism, an ethical and philosophical system developed from the teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius (551-479 BCE), is centered on moral character, human relationships, and social harmony. It emphasizes personal and communal morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. Confucianism is not a religion in the traditional sense, but rather a way of life, a social ethic, and a philosophy. It has had a profound influence on Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese thought and culture. Its core text, the Analects, contains sayings and ideas attributed to Confucius and his contemporaries. The teachings of Confucianism focus on the virtues of ren (benevolence), yi (righteousness), li (propriety), zhi (wisdom), and xin (trustworthiness). It promotes the idea of filial piety, respect for elders and ancestors, and the importance of education.
