Confucianism

Confucianism is a system of thought and behavior originating in ancient China. It was founded by Confucius (c. 500 BC), a prestigious Chinese philosopher. Much of China’s shared cultural heritage originates in his philosophy and teachings. Confucianism focuses on virtue, social harmony, and familial responsibility, emphasizing virtue through self-cultivation and communal effort. See Ganid’s Summary and Confucianism.
