The Five Basic Relationships

According to Confucius, each person had a specific place in society and certain duties to fulfill. Confucius hoped that if people knew what was expected of them they would behave correctly. Therefore, he set up five principal relationships in which most people are involved. These relationships were (1) ruler and subject; (2) father and son; (3) elder brother and younger brother; (4) husband and wife; and (5) friend and friend. All, except the last, involve the authority of one person over another. Power and the right to rule belong to superiors over subordinates; that is, to older peo ple over younger people, to men over women. Each person has to give obedience and respect to "superiors"; the subject to his ruler, the wife to her husband, the son to his par ents, and the younger brother to the older brother. The "superior," however, owes loving responsibility to the inferior.

The "Analects of Confucius" is a book about Confucius' teachings that was written after his death by his students. His theories and principles eventually became the basis of China's civil-service training system. His most important principle is the 'rectification of names':

'Ruler,ruler; minister, minister; father, father; son, son'.

This means that names should become realities and people need to live up to there job title.

The taoism symbol is a black and white symbol of the 2 moving in a circle around with each other, with a little bit of each color on its own inside the other. Black and white represent yin and yang (good and evil), and the pattern shows that they are in balance with each other. Trace amounts of them are found within each other, showing that no matter how good something is, it has some evil in it, and vice-versa.
