5. Let’s review legalist philosophy
What is emphasized in legalism?

6. Han Fei (d. 233 BCE) Li Si (d. 208 BCE) Legalist philosopher
Chinese philosopher of the Warring States period who emphasized the rule of law as a base for society and government.
Emphasizing that the autocrat (strong ruler) will be able to achieve firm control over the state with the mastering these methodologies: his position of power (勢, Shì); technique (術, Shù), and law (法, Fǎ).
Politician and Legalist philosopher of the Qin dynasty
He served as the Chancellor (or Prime Minister) of the Qin dynasty from 246–208 BC,
well known Legalist writer, politician, and calligrapher
He served under two rulers: Qin Shi Huang, (the First Emperor of the Qin dynasty & Qin Er Shi (Qin Shi Huang's youngest son and the Second Emperor)
responsible for the creation of those institutions that made the Qin dynasty the first super power in Chinese history  He unified the laws, governmental rules, and weights and measures  STANDARDIZATION: writing and cultural unification of China

7. Confucianism
Confucius (the Latinized version of Kong Fuzi, “master Kong”) ( BCE)
Zhou kingdom disintegrated into many independent feudal states  Zhou kings had little control  lived during the Waring Period
Confucius was a man of the small feudal state of Lu
Confucius traveled among the states during the warring states period Political advisor and official to feudal rulers and taking on students whom he would teach for a fee.
Confucius had an unsuccessful career as a politician, but a highly successful teacher
A couple of generations after his death, first- and second-generation students gathered accounts of Confucius’ teachings together. These anecdotes and records of short conversations go under the English title of the Analects.

8. Mencius (Mengzi, or Meng Ke)
Supporter of Confucianism
Living in the fourth century BCE, about one hundred years after Confucius
Pointed out contradiction of Confucianism during the Warring States period : ideal of a peaceful, unified, hierarchical feudal kingdom and the reality of nearly constant warfare between independent feudal states
Like Confucius, Mencius offered his services to feudal lords.
Also like Confucius, Mencius had a more successful career as a teacher than as an official.

9. How did the Waring States period affect the policies and structure of the Qin Dynasty?

10. Selections from the Confucian Analects:
“…The noble person concerns himself with the root; when the root is established, the Way is born. Being filial and fraternal — is this not the root of humaneness?” “Lead them by means of regulations and keep order among them through punishments, and the people will evade them and will lack any sense of shame. Lead them through moral force (de) and keep order among them through rites (li), and they will have a sense of shame and will also correct themselves.” “Wealth and honor are what people desire, but one should not abide in them if it cannot be done in accordance with the Way. Poverty and lowliness are what people dislike, but one should not avoid them if it cannot be done in accordance with the Way. If the noble person rejects humaneness, how can he fulfill that name? The noble person does not abandon humaneness for so much as the space of a meal. Even when hard-pressed he is bound to it, bound to it even in time of danger.” “The noble person is concerned with rightness; the small person is concerned with profit.”
