Confucianism is a school of thought that emphasizes moral and ethical education and self-cultivation, and advocates "virtue" and "benevolent government".

Confucianism emphasizes the function of education and believes that emphasizing education and punishment is the way to stability and prosperity for the people. It advocated that "there should be education without discrimination" and that both the rulers and the ruled should be educated so that the whole nation would become morally upright.

The Taoists were one of the most important schools of thought during the Warring States period, also known as the "Moralists". This school took as its theoretical basis the doctrine of Lao Tzu on "Tao" in the late Spring and Autumn period, which explains the nature, origin, composition and change of all things in the universe. They believe that the Tao of Heaven is inactive, and that all things are born naturally, denying that God and ghosts and gods dominate everything, advocating that the Tao should be natural and go with the flow, advocating quietness and inaction, and guarding the female and the soft to overcome the hard. The political ideal is "to rule by doing nothing". After Lao Zi, Taoism is divided into different schools, the famous four schools: Zhuangzi school, Yang Zhu school, Song Yin school and Huang Lao school.
