Confucius thinks that the ideal social governance situation is ()

Confucius' ideal society. The ultimate goal of Confucius' thought of governing the country is to establish an ideal society. By analyzing the Analects of Confucius, we can outline an ideal social picture of Confucius.

(1) The world is a great society. "Great Harmony" is the highest social ideal of Confucius. "'Datong' is a fair and just society where the world is public and property is public; The sage is in power, the people have virtue, and the society is harmonious. "

(B) The world is a private hierarchical society.

When Confucius realized that it was almost impossible to achieve a world-wide society of great harmony, he settled for the second best and advocated the establishment of a top-down and orderly society of etiquette and law. In the words of the Analects of Confucius, it means "harmony and order", "not poverty" and "not inclination".
