Similarities between Buddhism and Confucianism?

Please give me some similarities between these two philosophies. I know a fair amount about Buddhism, but not much about Confucianism.
Thank you

They both end in "ism"

Bedrock of Confucius teaching: benevolence or "Rena" (compassion and love for fellow men), righteousness or "yo" (right conduct, and his golden rule "do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you), loyalty or "Zedong" (serving emperor/superiors and country), filial piety or "ciao" (ones conduct towards elders and parents). He was a sage/teacher and he went around teaching by using Analects to explain his doctrines and he emphasis ed on importance of learning so that through education and the application of the "benevolence" "righteousness" "loyalty" and "filial piety", one could become a superior gentleman (superior gentlemen refers to a person who has integrity, acts with righteousness and has compassion).
His concept of good government is "though ruler is mandated by heaven (that all should obey and respect) the emperor is "like a boat while people are like water. Water can support a boat and can sink a boat. Therefore, an emperor must act in ways not against the water but in harmony with it." - he postulated that the emperor is like a "parent" to the people, and must take care of them to earn the respect and support of the people.

Confucius' teaching was more towards the cultivation of men - their morals and conduct in relation to society and therefore has no religious implication. *Both Confucius and Gautama were 6Th century BC contemporaries (from China and India, respectively).
Gautama's teaching was towards cultivation of oneself to free from suffering through understanding the causes of suffering and to attempt to end such such through detachment from desires. He summed it in a way that "desires cause human suffering, and to end suffering, one should try to free oneself from (obsessive) desires".

Confucius, like the Buddha, also offers a very practical philosophy, containing much concrete advice. He believes that a harmonious and stable society requires a number of key ingredients, including:

Shared values and traditions: Confucius teaches that common values and traditions function as a cement that helps bind people together into communities. He recommends that people come together to engage in "Li" - the study of ritual forms of propriety and respect.

A concern for others: Confucius proposes a version of the golden rule - that you should never do to others anything you would not want done to yourself.

People responsibly fulfilling their allotted social and familial roles: Sons and daughters have certain duties to their parents, and governments ministers have duties that they must discharge properly. To fulfill their allotted roles people need the appropriate virtues. A government minister for example should be both trustworthy and exercise due respect towards the ruler.

'every religion is man-made'; that view perfectly fits with both Buddhism and Confucianism.

Buddhism roughly emphasizes on social behavior and strongly on the needs of each individual. I think Confucianism emphasizes on both strongly. Both religious leaders left huge volumes of their teachings.

Hope you'll get more information from others.
