Confucius' main ideas are "four kinds of governance", namely "benevolence", "virtue", "courtesy" and "man".

1. Benevolence:

"Benevolence" is the core of Confucius' thought of "Four Governance". In The Analects of Confucius, there are 14 "benevolence" and 17 "gentlemen". The concept of human and benevolence is frequently used. Confucius said: "Kindness is also human, and kissing is great." It means that the so-called benevolence is human, and dear relatives are the greatest benevolence.

Second, rule by virtue:

It is to advocate governing the country with the idea of "ruling by virtue and loving the people". Confucius said that "governing by virtue is like Beichen, living in its place and all the stars are arching it". It means that those who pursue moral politics, the people accept the rule wholeheartedly like the stars around the North Star.

Third, rule by courtesy:

It is to advocate governing the country by courtesy. Confucius believes that it is necessary to be polite to govern the country. In The Analects of Confucius, there are 74 records on etiquette. Confucius said, "To be polite to the country, not to govern the country with courtesy, but to cultivate the country without embarrassment", which means that courtesy is the law of governing the country, just as important as scales, ropes and rules; Governing the country without "courtesy" is like plowing land without a hoe.

Fourth, rule by man:

On the issue of governing the country, Confucius attached great importance to the exemplary role of individual rulers, and put forward that governing the country should be based on people.

Confucius believes that under the rule of courtesy, nobles at all levels have relatively independent sovereignty, and the role of individuals is more prominent; In order to implement "rule by virtue", it is necessary to take the virtue as the premise, otherwise it will not be able to exert the effect of moral influence. Therefore, Confucius particularly emphasized the importance of rulers setting an example.
