Governing systems/ commerce
Government Body
The Confucian philosophy is what shaped the society and government in China. The primary philosophy was that there was a basic order in the universe and natural harmony connecting man, nature, and heaven. It also held the idea that man was naturally a social being and that natural order of the universe should be reflected in human relations. According to the universal order, in order to govern others one must first govern oneself. The Kings personal ethic and faithfulness to the philosophy is what benefits and influences the kingdom best. He is the rock of the kingdom allowing everything to run smoothly and avoids meddling with the individual parts of what creates a whole. The government body is a whole.
Impact of Religion
The religion has established the mindset of the people that they surround themselves around the universe. The "calm center" is the King and he is the ruler in their government. His position in their system is essential but it also doesn't take away from the people. One is as important as the other. From the living to the dead. They all have established their government and added to their government body. The King may be the biggest role but he is sought to be humble and not misleading.
Social Class System
Within the Confucian society there is a wide range of social classes. They vary from highest class to the lowest class possible. To go into depth, it goes Royal family, regents, nobles, gentry scholars and officials as the highest, Farmers and landowners, artisans and craftsmen, merchants and Industrialists as the middle class. Guests and retainers, Slaves, and all other occupations as the lowest class. The classes were divided by your occupation/employment.
Commerce and Economic System
The type of economic system that ran in Confucianism was one that was always trying to get reformed by someone mainly the chinese communist party. They ran a government that tended to keep away from strong government control or the act of favoring a certain social class. In their economic system the reasoning for them not to favor any social class was that the government should not "compete for profit with the people". Their economic system fluctuated and they faced several economic issues and crisis'. A former Confucian that addressed economic issues was Fan Li. He served many purposes and filled in a lot of roles such as a chinese business man, politician and strategist. He mainly focused on seasonal effects on markets, and business strategy along with other things.
