what are your views on Confucianism?

and what are the key details of it.

thanks

Confucius say "Google knows all".

he defined and explained the prevailing wisdom of the time and helped people understand how they fit in the world

Of the ancient East Asian teachings (or schools of thought, or religions) I find Confucianism to be one of the more difficult to agree with. Many of these belief systems preached practicing "humaneness" and "rightness", including Confucianism.

However, Confucianism focused quite a bit on finality and ritual. Filiality refers to extreme loyalty towards ones family and elders. My problem with this is that much of the emphasis on these two ideals are due to the state's craving to condition the population to be obedient and non-rebellious. Rebellion was frowned upon very much at the peak of Confucianism.

Conflicting beliefs such as Deism and Buddhism were more spiritual and philosophical, preaching more free-will. Meanwhile, Legalism (the worst of the bunch) was gaining power through violence, punishment and superficial gain. Eventually, many Confucians merged their beliefs with Legalist principles (extreme punishment) in order to govern the population with power. Meanwhile, the number of followers of Buddhism grew as Confucianism moved away from its core ideals towards a more power oriented system.

Overall, Confucianism at is purest form is a respectable practice. It preaches loyalty and morals. Confucius had many great ideas as well. But over the years it wasn't immune to corruption, and lost much of its core purpose as its power grew.
