  Confucianism
Debated during the Warring States Period and forbidden during the short founder Qin dynasty, Confucianism was chosen by Han emperor Han Wu Di and used as a political system and a kind of state religion.
Despite loss of influence during the Tang dynasty, Confucianist doctrine remained mainstream Chinese orthodoxy for two millennia, until the beginning of 20th century.
After the short and violent dynasty of Qin, Liu Bang founded the Han dynasty and, soon after, the Emperor Han Wu Di decided that China was a confucianist state and launched the examination system.

 China from the Ming to the Manchus
This was encouraged by factional fighting among the Confucianists and by the risks that came with power in the hands of eunuchs.
Confucianists continued to see salvation in adherence to proper ethical conduct rather than a change in institutions.
They were dreamers interested in moral revival rather than organizing an armed opposition, and, like the Confucianist Wang Mang centuries before, they paid for it with their lives.

 Mogao Caves - an introduction to its founding, functions, development & history with information on cave design, ...
Confucianist philosophy encouraged painters to emphasize moral characteristics, usually at the expense of realistic representation.
A limited color palette enhanced the ethical sobriety of the virtuous Confucianists portrayed; generally portraits were painted using varying shades of gray with the barest hint of red to accentuate the cheeks and upper eye-lids.
From the representation of Daoist Gods in Buddhist paintings, to the association of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara with the mother of the human race and his subsequent feminization, to the evolution of the Mogao Caves as Confucianist clan halls, time and again we see the fruits of a process of cultural syncretization.

The Confucianist says: Love among relations should depend upon the degree of relationship, and honour to the virtuous should be graded (2).
The Confucianist tells us: "A wife is taken to share in continuing the worship and sacrifice (to ancestors) and the son will attend to the ancestral temple, therefore they are highly regarded." We answer him: This is all false representation.
Yet the Confucianist pretends it to be for the sake of the parents.

 Mourning, Sacrificial, and Wedding Rites
The Confucianist theory of mourning and sacrificial rites emphasizes the emotional satisfaction that these rites can give to man, because, as we know, the dead are gone forever and there is nothing which can be said concerning their objective existence.
This is the implication of the Confucianistic theory of mourning and sacrificial rites.
The Confucianist conception of marriage is biological, therefore, the Confucianists did not consider love as an essential factor in marriage.

Moreover, Han Fei's fellow student (also studying under the Confucianist Xunxi) was Li Si, who put his learning into action by playing a pivotal role in the Qin rise to power and helping administer the vicious system of punishments that characterized Qin Shi Huangdi's rule.
After he consolidated his power, one of his key moves was to reject Legalism and to permit the reintroduction of Confucianist values as the basis for imperial governance.

Debated during the Warring States Period and forbidden during the short-lived Qin dynasty, Confucianism was chosen by Han emperor Han Wu Di and used as a political system and a kind of state religion.
Taoism and Buddhism are two other systems of thought with a major influence on China but, during the Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi and other thinkers built a renewed Confucianism integrating their mystical aspirations into a syncretic system referred in the West as to Neo-Confucianism.
A simple way to appreciate Confucian thought is to consider it as based on varying levels of honesty.

So too Japan's basic moral ethics came from a Confucianist base, as such even though the Confucianist government of the Yi dynasty was deposed at the onset of the occupation period, the Confucian values underlying the society were not.
Of all the intellectual and religious organisations in Korea, the Confucianists would prove to be the weakest and smallest contributor to the nationalist/independence cause.
This successfully recruited the Confucianist class to the side of the Japanese, from which the Japanese seeking to secure their position of occupation, were able to establish a Mandate of Rule over Korea.

 CHAPTER XI  THE ATTEMPT OF MATTEO RICCI TO LINK
Since the Confucianists talk about "the retribution of good or evil" just from personal moral cultivation, so everyone should "have self-cultivation" or "stick to morality" only for the purpose of reaching one's inner moral accomplishment.
The aim of China's Confucianist theory is to pursue "inner transcendence," whereas that of Catholicism is to pursue "outer transcendence." In The True Meaning of the Lord of Heaven Matteo Ricci points out this shortcoming of Confucianism and criticizes it.
As these were received chiefly due to his association with traditional Chinese thought, especially the Confucianist morality, his attempt can be regarded as another earlier form of "regarding Chinese learning as body and Western learning for use" formulated in the 1860s.

TRANSLATED BY 774-841), the author of Yuen Jan Lun ('Origin of Man'), one of the greatest scholars that China ever produced, was born in a Confucianist family of the State of Kwo Cheu.
It is said that a short essay under the same title by a noted contemporary Confucianist scholar, Han Tui Chi (Kan-tai-shi, who flourished 803-823), suggested to him to write a book in order to make clear to the public the Buddhist view on the same subject.

 Aestheticism Reviews | Youmi Henjou Yawa
Seitan is a serious sober Confucianist who was born trailing 'auspicious clouds' that foretell a brilliant future for him.
But Seitan is a stuffy Confucianist: "The master never spoke of strange phenomena, inhuman feats of strength, disorders of nature, or spirits," as a well-known quote from the Analects puts it.
His innate nature, no surprise, is sensually wanton: never met a pretty face that didn't make him go all goo-goo eyed, even when he knows the pretty face belongs to a flesh-eating goblin or a scaly dragon in human guise.

But after Masatoshi was assassinated by Inaba Masayasu, the Hotta clan was forced to move from Sakura to Yamagata then to Fukushima and the domain's income declined.
While some of Hakuseki's policies were still carried out after Ienobu's death, after the 6th shogun, Tokugawa Ietsugu, died and Tokugawa Yoshimune's rule began, Hakuseki left his post to begin his career as a prolific writer.

The best example I know would be Communist China puting out all confucianist administrators to put its own, and going against everything that's confucianist.
But my Chinese teacher (which is teaching Chinese history) says that the inner fiber of Chinese people is still confucianist, even if they can't show it exteriorly.
But anyway, it did change the administration and certain aspects, and I wonder if it could have any influence to go on one culture's side or something.
