1 Confucius Confucianism.

Politically, it advocates "virtue for government", takes "morality" and "etiquette" as the primary means of governance, requires governing the people with virtue, cherishes the people's strength, and opposes harsh government and torture; advocating "self-denial and revenge" and maintaining Zhou etiquette is a conservative part of Confucius's political thought; In education, it advocates the educational principle of "teaching without class", and implements "teaching students according to their aptitude" in teaching; In terms of learning methods, it advocates "the combination of learning and thinking". As the patriarch of education, Confucius's ideas did not receive much attention in the era of hegemony and social change.

The core of Confucian thought is benevolence, that is, the highest morality of being a state administrator is to love everyone, which is now called fraternity. Righteousness is born from benevolence, which is the basic rule of social relations. By righteousness, that is, the state system and the code of conduct of officials.

This has been the core idea of the Chinese nation since the Yellow Emperor. But at that time, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the state system collapsed, and the vassal states did not accept the ****, and gave up benevolence and pursued force and interests.

2 Mencius Confucianism.

In terms of human nature, Mencius advocated the theory of sexual goodness. In terms of socio-political views, he stood from the position of the emerging landlord class, but also emphasized the interests of the small peasant class. He advocated the implementation of "benevolent government", put forward the ideas of "the people are noble and the king is light" and "the government is to win the people", and at the same time preached that "those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people".

It is a pity that his moderate political proposition could not meet the needs of ending the secession and realizing reunification at that time.

3 Xunzi Confucianism.

Xunzi inherited the "rites" of Confucius. Xunzi advocated the theory of sexual evil, which is often compared with Mencius's theory of sexual goodness. Compared with Confucius and Meng, Xunzi's thought has more realistic tendencies and emphasizes the realization of foreign kings.

While attaching importance to the education of etiquette, righteousness and morality, he also emphasized the punitive role of the political and legal system.

Xunzi advocated the viewpoint of "both ritual and law" in political thought, and put forward the view that "heaven is permanent" and "the person who controls the destiny of heaven and uses it" to win the sky, which is a reflection of the progress of the productive forces at that time and has a materialist thought.

The influence of Confucianism is far-reaching, and it has been the mainstream of Chinese thought for thousands of years. The ideas of benevolence, responsibility, temperance, loyalty and filial piety in traditional Chinese culture have had a profound impact on later generations, and are also the result of combining with thousands of years of feudal rule in China. And not only China, but also Confucianism has a profound influence on many countries in Southeast Asia, and the ethics and etiquette of South Korea and Japan have the shadow of traditional Confucian culture.
