During the Song Dynasty, civil servants were expected to be well-versed in Confucian principles, as these ideals were foundational to the governance and social structure of the time. Confucianism emphasized moral integrity, ethical leadership, and the importance of education, shaping the bureaucratic system and the selection of officials through the civil service examination.
