Ruism

Ruism, also known as Confucianism, is a philosophical and ethical tradition from China that emphasizes the importance of harmony, moral integrity, and respectful relationships within society. It advocates for virtues like kindness, righteousness, and filial piety—respect for one's parents and elders. Ruism focuses on cultivating personal virtue and social responsibility to create a harmonious community and orderly society. Though rooted in the teachings of Confucius from over 2,500 years ago, it continues to influence cultural, educational, and social systems in many East Asian countries today.
