Confucianism teaches that humans are good by nature, and that they can realize their goodness and the importance of virtue through education, preaches the value of “ren”/the love of humanity, and idealizes an expanded family model for society to follow.

One way they can do this is to maintain the importance of virtu e, which is not achieved through status at birth but rather through rigorous education as the key agent to create superior men. The preachings of

are best translated as concepts such as benevolence or humanitarianism.
