Explain how and why the philosophy of Confucianism helped China flourish and prosper during the Middle Ages. What did Confucianism mean for the common man of China? What did it say to the rulers of China?

Confucius spent most of his life traveling throughout China, teaching about the importance of duty, ritual, and virtue. He taught that a ruler must set an example to inspire people to strive for a moral life. Years after he died, students assembled his teachings into a book, the Analects, and a new school of thought developed—Confucianism. This philosophy deeply influenced China throughout most of its history.
