Neo-Confucianism was a combination of the three major philosophies/religions (Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism) that it was popular and stood out to many followers. Because Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism were already highly favored among the people, it was not such a bad idea to combine elements of the three onto one core.
Confucianism has survived for so many centuries because it presents itself as more of a culture than a religion. People don't necessarily have convictions about the beliefs, they simply think it's the only acceptable way of life.
Followers of Confucianism believe in social harmony, and think that knowing one's place in the social order is the way to achieve social harmony. The principal points of behavior and belief in Confucianism are compassion, propriety, righteousness, wisdom, fidelity, and sincerity.
