Confucianism perhaps is more often known for his Golden Rule: “Do not do unto others what
you would not have them unto you.? This saying teaches the ethics of empathy and reciprocity.
It requires people to treat others equal to themselves and equally the same manner as they
would have wanted to be treated. Some of the most important Confucian doctrines include;
Mandate of Heaven, the idea of T”ien or heaven, Rectification of Names, The Moral Way
consisting of five cardinal virtues, Filial Piety or beliefs in ancestors.
1. Mandate of Heaven
The continuation of the mandate was believed to be conditioned by the personal behavior of the
ruler, who was expected to possess yi (“righteousness”) and ren (“benevolence”). If the emperor’s
personal life became immoral or his rule tyrannical, Confucianism taught, he had not only lost his
right to rule but should be removed by revolution, if necessary.
