Is Confucianism conservative and pedantic?

Not to be pedantic but to follow tradition. Confucian thought has never failed to accept new things. Rather, it emphasizes ethical ethics and is more class-conscious. Confucius' benevolence refers to the benevolence of superiors to subordinates, not fraternity. Fraternity is part of Mohist thought. The conservative part of Confucianism is the relationship between monarch, minister, father and son. For example, a minister must devote himself to the king. This is the basic principle of being a minister. But it is not foolish loyalty. If the king is unjust, the subjects will defect to foreign countries; if the father is unjust, the son will flee to another country. It’s not that people are foolishly loyal to death, but that if you want to be a minister, you must serve the king loyally. If your father is unjust, you can go to another country to make a living, but you cannot commit the crime of killing your father and destroying ethics. I think only pedantic people have pedantic understanding.
