Confucius said: "People are guided by legal prohibitions and bound by criminal law. People just seek to avoid being punished for crimes, but they lose their sense of shame;" Guiding the people with moral education and unifying their words and deeds with the ritual system will not only make them feel ashamed, but also abide by the rules. " [Feeling] Confucius cited two completely different strategies for governing the country. Confucius believes that punishment can only make people avoid committing crimes, but can't make people understand the shameful truth of committing crimes. Moral education is much better than punishment, which can not only make people obey the rules, but also make people feel ashamed. This reflects the difference between morality and legal system in governing the country. However, it should also be pointed out that Confucius' thought of "ruling by virtue" should attach importance to morality, but ignore the role of criminal politics and legal system in governing the country.
