Confucianism was at the center. The cultural thought system of feudal Chinese society was centered on Confucianism. Confucianism is one of the doctrines of the hundred pre-Qin sons.

Confucianism, also known as Confucianism or Confucianism, was founded by Confucius, initially referring to the funeral industry, the master of ceremonies, and later used as the basis for the gradual formation of a complete system of Confucianism, which has become the mainstream of traditional Chinese culture, with far-reaching influence. It is the most influential school in China and the mainstream consciousness of ancient China.

The rulers of feudal China generally adopted Confucian ideas of governance. Confucianism is very rich. In terms of individuals, there are the ideas of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, saintliness (faith), forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety and fraternal duty. In comparison with the theory of elements, the ancients had developed three virtues, five elements, six virtues and other virtues. Confucius and Mencius talked about the "holy" end; Dong Zhongshu changed it to the "faith" end.

Governing the country and the people, the core of Confucianism is "fraternity, generosity, fairness, justice, honesty, trustworthiness, innovation, civilization, harmony, the rule of law and other virtues".
