How is Confucianism similar to Neo-Confucianism?

Answer 1

Neo-Confucian :

- students were expected to venerate and follow the instructions of their teachers, no matter what.

( they killed the bad students and put their head hanging on the door so they could keep order in the classroom )

- women were also driven to underground activities to ameliorate their subordination and expand their career opportunities.

( but Behind the Scenes, they continued to play strong roles at courts )

even within the palace, the plight of most women was grim.

- in society at large, women had to settle for whatever status and respect they could win within the family.

[ even well - read women were barred from taking the civil service exams and obtaining positions in the bureaucracy ]

Answer 2

neo - Confucianism lowered the women's position.

And as a student, you had to follow the instructions from your teachers no matter what . if you didn't they killed you and hung your head in front of the door so that they could still keep an order in the class.

women were also driven to underground activities to ameliorate their subordination.

neo-confucianism also included buddhist and daoist metaphysical systems. and they were not interested in history or literature.
