The Han Code

The Han Code, named after the Han dynasty in ancient China, refers to a set of moral and ethical guidelines that promote proper behavior and social harmony. It emphasizes virtues such as respect for family (filial piety), loyalty, humility, and integrity. Rooted in Confucian principles, the Han Code influenced societal norms and governance, promoting a stable community where individuals acted responsibly towards others. Its legacy can still be seen in contemporary discussions around ethics, governance, and social conduct in Chinese culture and beyond.
