At first, Confucianism was just an academic faction in "a hundred schools of thought contend". After the Western Han Dynasty, in order to cater to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu quoted Confucianism and put forward the theory of "imperial power is supreme", which gradually made Confucianism become the ruling school of feudal society. Confucianism advocates "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faithfulness", "loyalty and forgiveness" and "moderation". Advocate "rule by virtue" and "benevolent government" and attach importance to ethical relations.

In the era of Confucius' life, the Book of Changes has been published for more than 500 years, so Confucius made a very detailed study of the Book of Changes and made ten biographies for it, so the Book of Changes belongs to one of the six Confucian classics.
