Confucianism was a belief saying that people should know their social order and have respect to one another. A man called Kong Fu Zi made Confucianism. Later on Europeans translated his name into Confucius. Confucianism was made in china by around 500 B.C. People still practice Confucianism in Southeast Asia. Confucianism has important writing called Analects, which are a record of the words Kong Fu Zi had said.
The Han Dynasty was a period in which China had my advances in technology, zoology, botany, chemistry and medicine. This happened around 206 BC – 220 AD. In the Han Dynasty Confucianism was followed and became an official belief. Under the Han Dynasty China lived a golden age because of their achievements. During this time, Chinese made acupuncture and carvings in jade, wood and ivory.

The Han Dynasty was considered the golden age. Strong leadership under Emperor Wudi got many achievements. During this period of time China expanded and saw that the Silk Road was a major trade route. This brought them in contact with other civilizations and also brought new products like cucumbers and grapes. Scientists from the Han Dynasty wrote textbooks on subjects lik zoology, botany, and chemistry.
They were astronomers, and inventors. They also developed acupuncture and they were architects. During this time the official belief system of China became Confucianism. Confucianism teaches that there is a natural social order to society which is called the Five Relationships.

Confucianism believes in a basic social order between all people. Confusionism also teaches the Five Relationships.

Ruler to ruled.
Father to son.
Older brother to younger brother.
Husband to wife.
Friend to friend.

In these 5 realtionships one person is superior to another.


China was doing very good during the Han Dynasty. Many new ideas and concepts came into China during the time emperor Wudi ruled. New government and social ideas were thought about. The Silk Road also brought many goods into China.  Confucianism became China’s main religion during this time.
