42
Confucianism

• Respect for ones elders and ancestors
• People should obey their parents and authority
  figures (emperor)

Daoism (Taoism)

• Designed by Lao-tzu
• To restore order and balance to society
  individuals should seek harmony in nature
• Harmony important in the universe
• Government should be as small as possible and
  leave people alone

44
Legalism

• Designed during the Han dynasty to strengthen the
  power of the ruler
• FaThe law code must be clearly written and made
  public. All people under the ruler were equal
  before the law. Laws should reward those who obey
  them and punish accordingly those who dare to
  break them. Thus it is guaranteed that actions
  taken are systematically predictable. In
  addition, the system of law ran the state, not
  the ruler. If the law is successfully enforced,
  even a weak ruler will be strong.
• Shu Special tactics and "secrets" are to be
  employed by the ruler to make sure others don't
  take over control of the state. Especially
  important is that no one can fathom the ruler's
  motivations, and thus no one can know which
  behavior might help them getting ahead except
  for following the laws.
• ShiIt is the position of the ruler, not the
  ruler himself or herself, that holds the power.
  Therefore, analysis of the trends, the context,
  and the facts are essential for a real ruler.
