What is the core view of Confucianism?

Confucianism is one of hundred schools of thought's theories in the pre-Qin period. Confucianism, also known as Confucianism or Confucianism, was founded by Confucius. At first, it refers to the master of ceremonies engaged in the funeral industry.

It is the most influential school in China and the mainstream consciousness in ancient China. Confucianism has exerted a profound influence on China, East Asia and even the whole world. The concepts of Confucianism, Confucianism and Confucianism should be distinguished. Confucianism, as a theory, as a stratum and as a belief, is both the same and different, and needs to be distinguished.
