1, the core of political thought: "courtesy" and "benevolence".
Confucius advocated "ruling the country by virtue", which is the noblest way to govern the country. This strategy of governing the country is also called "rule by virtue" or "rule by courtesy". Rule by virtue is to advocate moral education. Confucianism believes that no matter whether human nature is good or evil, people can be influenced and educated by morality. The so-called "rule by courtesy" means observing a strict hierarchy, and there are strict differences between monarch and minister, father and son, and nobility and inferiority.

Confucianism, short for Confucianism, 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.
3. Create new educational ideas.
Confucius' thought of "teaching without class" is of epoch-making significance in the history of educational development. It advocates that regardless of national boundaries, everyone can enter school to receive education as long as they have the heart to study, which has created a precedent for the popularization of education.
