How to explain benevolence with traditional culture?

The "benevolence" in Confucius and Mencius' thoughts is different and hierarchical love, such as filial piety, which is different from that of parents and brothers.

Mohist thought is "universal love", indiscriminate love, "treat yourself", and everyone is born equal.

The "benevolence" advocated by Confucian culture since the Han Dynasty, on the surface, is to govern the country by virtue, but in fact there are factors such as legalist criminal law and imperial skills, and it is no longer pure benevolence.
