Confucius proposed the idea of ??"correcting names" and advocated that a monarch should behave like a monarch and perform his duties. However, Confucius did not put forward a clear idea on how to ensure that the monarch performs his duties.

Confucius put forward the idea of ??"correcting names". When Zilu asked, "If the king of Wei waits for his son to serve in politics, the son will be the first to punish him." Confucius replied, "I must also correct my names." and further explained that "if it is not correct, then the words If things don't go according to plan, if things don't go according to plan, rituals and music will not flourish, if rituals and music don't flourish, punishments will not be met, and if punishments are not met, the people will be at a loss. also". On the other hand, Confucius advocated that a monarch should behave like a monarch and perform his duties. When Qi Jinggong asked Confucius about politics, Confucius replied, "Jun Jun, ministers, ministers, father father, son son." It is believed that the stability of society can be ensured only if the emperor, ministers, father and son each abide by their duties. However, because Confucius did not give a specific explanation on this, let alone put forward clear ideas on how to ensure that the monarch performs his duties, Qi Jinggong understood the meaning of Confucius's words one-sidedly and said, "How good! Trust is like a ruler who is not a king, and a minister who is not a minister." "Father is not father, son is not son, even if there is millet, I can get it and eat it."

By the way, "duty" is not "duty". According to the explanation of "Modern Chinese Dictionary", "duty" has two meanings, one is one's own responsibilities and obligations; the other is being content with one's status and environment. "Benfen" is not included in the "Modern Chinese Dictionary".
