Detailed explanation-2: -Confucius emphasized social and family hierarchy, including filial piety (i.e., the relationship between parents and the child) and other relationships within a family. In Confucianism, there are five human relationships: ruler-minister, father-son, husband-wife, elder-younger, friend-friend.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most important of these relationships, and the one on which all others depended, was the bond between parents and children. For Confucius, a smoothly functioning family-one in which children show proper respect for their parents, relatives, and ancestors-was a model for Chinese society as a whole.
