Confucian texts
Confucian texts are ancient Chinese writings that emphasize virtues like respect, honesty, kindness, and righteousness. They focus on how individuals should behave in personal relationships and in society to create harmony and stability. Key ideas include filial piety (respect for parents), moral integrity, and proper conduct. These texts, such as "The Analects," offer guidance on ethical living and governance, promoting the idea that virtuous individuals contribute to a well-ordered community. Rooted in philosophy and history, they aim to cultivate moral character and social harmony, influencing Chinese culture and beyond for centuries.
