How did the social order of people in the han dynasty reflect confucian values?

    The Han Dynasty period (- 206 + 221) is indeed incredibly fertile and fundamental to the framing of Chinese philosophy. Some factors are important for this kind of misconstruction: One tendency, for example, is for the authors to focus only on the process of the political or spiritual transformations of the time as important, disconnecting them from the evolution of critical thinking.

    One of the first authors to stand out in this Han intellectual landscape was Lujia, author of a book called Xinyu (New Dialogues). Lujia was one of the chief advisers of the first Han emperor, Liu Bang, later called Gaodi. A certain boldness earned him this post with the emperor: when asked how an empire should be governed, he would have answered with a phrase that became one of the most famous Confucian epithets: “an empire can be conquered in the saddle of a horse but you can't rule it over her ”

    The basic principle of Confucianism is known by the Chinese as junchaio (teachings of the wise) and defines the search for a higher way (tao) as a way to live well and in balance between the wills of earth and those of heaven.
