CONFUCIUS
The most important

be good citizens.
Confucius believed it was
important for people to live in
harmony with each other.
HARMONY
To live in harmony people needed to
understand the importance of five
relationships.
1. father to son
2. oldest brother to youngest brother

5. friend to friend
CONFUCIUS
In these five relationships,
people were not equal.

to younger people
• men were superior to
women
• rulers were superior to
citizens.
It was important for superior
people to take care of their
inferiors and set a good example

piety.

for your parents is your most
important duty.

stressed the importance
of:
