How does confucianism affect the government and the way a government would run?

Confucianism, contrary to popular belief, is not properly a religion but a doctrine based on the philosophical system of Chinese Confucius (Kung-Fu-Tzu) during the 6th century BC.

During this period an elaborate system of moral, social, political, religious and teaching was established, based on ancient Chinese traditions and at the same time innovative in terms of rationalism.

In Confucianism, the family is the social basis on which all human beings are based and on which the system of government is a broader aspect.
