Which main principle of confucianism is being discussed in this passage? “. . one statement of confucius . . occurs twice in the analects: ‘when a man’s father is alive, look at the bent of his will; when his father is dead, look at his conduct. if for three years he does not change from his father’s way, he may be called filial [loyal to his parents].’ . . zhu xi interprets this passage in the following way: ‘when a man’s father is alive, he should observe his father’s will, not acting on his own, and his will can be known according to his father’s will. when his father is dead, his own conduct can be seen, and he can be judged by his own conduct whether he himself is good or not. he may be called filial, however, only when he must not change from his father’s way for three years; otherwise he may not be called filial even if his conduct itself is good.’. . one should unconditionally carry on in the manner of one’s father for three years in order to feel at ease in one’s heart.” —qingping liu, philosophy east & wes

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
