Detailed explanation-1: -Confucianism became the dominant political philosophy during the Han Dynasty from 206 B.C.E. to 220 C.E. Because Confucian teachings were conservative and told people to maintain their role in social order, the philosophy was used by the state to keep the status quo from that time forward.
Detailed explanation-2: -Confucian Influence on Chinese History and Chinese Civilization. In ancient China, Confucius’ teachings had a great influence on Chinese intellectuals, government (Han Dynasty: Confucianism encouraged the government to give jobs to educated people rather than nobles), society, and even traditional Chinese culture.
Detailed explanation-3: -Confucius taught that rulers had a sacred responsibility to rule virtuously. This meant ruling with self-discipline, attention to the ancient rituals, and putting the welfare and happiness of his subjects first. Ruling in this fashion, Confucius said, set an example of moral goodness for all others to follow.
