Assignment #2 - Kristin Kapitan

The three main points regarding Confucianism that I found out were:

1) Confucianism has six main ethical beliefs. Of these six, "jen" (benevolence, kindness towards others) is the most important.

2) Relationships are central to Confucianism. Originally, a son was to show filial piety to his parents. This led to the formation of the five most important relationships.

3) Confucianism has two sacred texts: the Si Shu (Four Books) and the Wu Jing (Five Classics) written in the Sung dynasty and organized by Chu Hsi.
