Default What is the most important value of Confucianism?

I know there are like 6 important values in Confucianism:

Li, Hsiao, Yi, Xin, Jen, and Chung.
I thought Jen was like the most important and well-known of the six, but I wasn't sure.

Is it the most important? If not, which one is it??

Thanks =]
And please put in details.
Links are appreciated too.

You mean the concepts of Jen and Ren? Which are Benevolence and Justice. Those are two that are important. Confucius supported his "thesis" by promoting the 6 virtues of mathematics, music archery and i forgot what else). But he believed that a way to achieve the Dao, or perfect equanimity is by being wise, morally stable.
