Ying and Yang: In Chinese thought, the two powers that govern the natural rhythms of life. Autocracy: A government in which the ruler has unlimited power and uses it in an arbitrary manner I Ching: A Chinese book of oracles, consulted to answer ethical and practical problems Qin Dynasty: A short lived Chinese dynasty that replaced the Zhou Dynasty in the third century B.C.

Confucius and the Social Order End of Zhou Dynasty signaled the end of Chinese values of “social order, harmony, respect for authority” Confucius: China’s most influential scholar Deep desire to restore social order to China Believed that that social order, harmony and good government could be restored in China if society organized itself around 5 basic Relationships

Bureaucracy: A system of departments and agencies formed to carry out the work of the government Education was key to “advancing” in government

Confucianism: IS NOT A RELIGION Repeat with Mr. Erickson Confucianism was never a religion, but it was an ethical system, a system based on what is Right and what is Wrong!!

Other Ethical Systems: Daosim Daoism Daoists Seek Harmony with Nature Chinese Thinker named Laozi Book: Dao De Jing (The Way of Virtue) Universal Force called the “Dao”, meaning “the way” guides all things. Only humans fail to follow the Dao.

Legalists Urge Harsh Rule: Legalism Founded by: Hanfeizi and Li Si Completely different from Daoism and Confucianism Highly efficient and powerful government was key to restoring order in society Government should use the law to end civil disorder and restore harmony. Believe in controlling ideas as well as actions Why?

Chinese Ethical System Confucianism Daoism Legalism Social order, harmony and good government should be base on family relationships The natural order is more important than the social order A highly efficient and powerful government is the key to social order Respect for parents and elders is important to a well-ordered society A universal force guides all things Punishments are useful to maintain social order Education is important both to the welfare of the individual and to the society Human beings should live simply and in harmony with nature Thinkers and their ideas should strictly be controlled by the government American Society ? Hippies ? School ?

I Ching Chinese also turned to other practices for finding answers to life’s questions Book of Oracles: I Ching or “Yi Jing” Readers used the book by throwing a set of coins, and interpreting the results, and then reading the appropriate oracle or prediction. Offered good advice and simple common sense

Ying and Yang Two Powers that together represented the natural rhythm of life Yin: Cold, dark, soft and mysterious Yang: Warm bright, hard and clear
