Confucian thought
Confucianism is an academic school founded by Confucius, developed by Mencius and compiled by Xunzi. Since then, it has been praised by Confucian scholars in past dynasties, and it still has certain vitality. Confucianism was originally one of the pre-Qin hundred schools of thought, and its founder was Confucius. Confucianism equals pre-Qin hundred schools of thought. Then, in order to maintain the feudal autocratic rule, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened to Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of "ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" and clamped down his thoughts, which made Confucianism rise again.

It has simple dialectical thought and is an extremely important philosophical school in the contention of a hundred schools of thought.
The main ideas of Mohism are: equal love between people (universal love), opposing wars of aggression (non-attack), advocating economy, opposing extravagance and waste (frugality), attaching importance to inheriting the cultural wealth of predecessors (knowing ghosts) and mastering the laws of nature (ambition).
Legalists, as a big school, put forward the idea and concept of governing the country according to law, which has far-reaching influence so far, which shows that they attach great importance to the legal system and regard the law as a compulsory tool conducive to social rule.
