Today’s BIG QUESTION:
How did Confucian values influence society and government?Directions: As you read, draw a box around values that impacted society and government. Document: Wendy Frey, History Alive, 2011Confucianism is based on the teachings of Kongfuzi, who is called Confucius by westerners. This philosophy deeply influenced Chinese government and culture. Confucius lived from 551 to 479 B.C.E. He was born in the small state of Lu in eastern China. He experienced firsthand the disorder that erupted when lords fought for power. Between 722 and 481 B.C.E., his own state was invaded many times.
Confucius deeply respected Chinese traditions such as reverence for ancestors and the honor given to scholars. But he also saw that society and government had to change if there was to be peace and order. In particular, rulers needed to govern wisely. Confucius wanted to teach men of good character to work as honest and fair government officials.
The goal of Confucianism was to achieve a just and peaceful society. Confucius taught that society worked well when all people used standards of good behavior in their roles and in their relationships with others.
According to Confucianism, there are five basic relationships between people: ruler and subject, husband and wife, father and son, older sibling and younger sibling, and friend and friend. All people must respect and obey those who are above them in status. In particular, they must respect their elders. In return, those with authority, such as rulers, fathers, husbands, and older sibling, must set a good example. They should be kind, honest, wise and faithful. Confucius taught, “Do not do to others what you would not want done to you.”

The Influence of ConfucianismConfucius attracted many students who spread his teachings. After his death, some of them collected his sayings in a book called The Analects. Later scholars further developed Confucianism.
Confucianism had a very practical effect on government under a later dynasty, the Han dynasty. People who do the work of government are called civil servants. In China, civil servants were traditionally the sons of nobles. They might or might not have the ability and wisdom to do their jobs well. Because of the influence of Confucianism, civil servants under the Han were hired on the basis of their ability. Before being hired, they were expected to know the Chinese classics in detail. For example, they had to know the proper behavior for people in various roles, from laborers to government officials. To prove they had this knowledge, they had to take exams that the emperor himself might grade.

The teachings of Confucius had a major influence on Chinese culture. Values such as respect for elders, proper behavior, and love of scholarship became deeply woven into Chinese society. Even today, the sayings of Confucius are wise and practical. Here are two examples from the Analects:
Confucius said to his follower: The gentleman first practices what he preaches and then preaches what he practices.
Confucius said to his student: Shall I teach you what knowledge is? When you know a thing, say that you know it; when you do not know a thing, admit that you do not know it. That is knowledge

Confucius attracted many students who spread his teachings. After his death, some of them collected his sayings in a book called The Analects. Later scholars developed Confucianism.
Confucianism had a very practical effect on government under a later dynasty, the Han Dynasty. People who do the work of government are called civil servants. Before Confucianism, people wanting to work for the government were hired on the basis of class: if you were a son of a noble, you could get hired. Confucianism however, led to a new way of hiring: hiring people based on their ability! In order to get hired people had to know about Chinese culture, behavior, and responsibilities. Then, they had to prove this knowledge by taking an exam. This exam might be graded by the emperor himself! If he had high scores, only then would he be hired.
