In addition, loyalty does not mean subservience to authority. This is because reciprocity is demanded from the superior as well. As Confucius stated "a prince should employ his minister according to the rules of propriety; ministers should serve their prince with faithfulness (loyalty)."<sup id="cite_ref-63" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-63"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>62<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Similarly, <a href="/wiki/Mencius" title="Mencius">Mencius</a> also said that "when the prince regards his ministers as his hands and feet, his ministers regard their prince as their belly and heart; when he regards them as his dogs and horses, they regard him as another man; when he regards them as the ground or as grass, they regard him as a robber and an enemy."<sup id="cite_ref-64" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-64"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>63<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Moreover, Mencius indicated that if the ruler is incompetent, he should be replaced.

The individual stands simultaneously in several different relationships with different people: as a junior in relation to parents and elders, and as a senior in relation to younger siblings, students, and others. While juniors are considered in Confucianism to owe their seniors reverence, seniors also have duties of benevolence and concern toward juniors. The same is true with the husband and wife relationship where the husband needs to show benevolence towards his wife and the wife needs to respect the husband in return. This theme of mutuality still exists in East Asian cultures even to this day. </p><p>The Five Bonds are: ruler to ruled, father to son, husband to wife, elder brother to younger brother, friend to friend. Specific duties were prescribed to each of the participants in these sets of relationships. Such duties are also extended to the dead, where the living stand as sons to their deceased family. The only relationship where respect for elders is not stressed was the friend to friend relationship, where mutual equal respect is emphasised instead. All these duties take the practical form of prescribed rituals, for instance wedding and death rituals.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFeuchtwang2016146_49-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFeuchtwang2016146-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Junzi"><i>Junzi</i></h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Junzi" title="Junzi">Junzi</a></div> <p>The <i>junzi</i> ('lord's son') is a <a href="/wiki/Chinese_philosophy" title="Chinese philosophy">Chinese philosophical</a> term often translated as "<a href="/wiki/Gentleman" title="Gentleman">gentleman</a>" or "superior person"<sup id="cite_ref-73" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-73"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>72<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and employed by <a href="/wiki/Confucius" title="Confucius">Confucius</a> in the <i>Analects</i> to describe the ideal man. </p><p>In Confucianism, the sage or wise is the ideal personality; however, it is very hard to become one of them. Confucius created the model of <i>junzi</i>, gentleman, which may be achieved by any individual. Later, <a href="/wiki/Zhu_Xi" title="Zhu Xi">Zhu Xi</a> defined <i>junzi</i> as second only to the sage. There are many characteristics of the <i>junzi</i>: he may live in poverty, he does more and speaks less, he is loyal, obedient and knowledgeable. The <i>junzi</i> disciplines himself. <i>Ren</i> is fundamental to become a <i>junzi</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-74" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-74"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>73<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As the potential leader of a nation, a son of the ruler is raised to have a superior ethical and moral position while gaining inner peace through his virtue. To Confucius, the <i>junzi</i> sustained the functions of government and social stratification through his ethical values. Despite its literal meaning, any righteous man willing to improve himself may become a <i>junzi</i>. </p><p>In contrast to the <i>junzi</i>, the <i>xiaoren</i> (<span lang="zh">小人</span>; <i><span lang="zh-Latn">xiăorén</span></i>, "small or petty person") does not grasp the value of virtues and seeks only immediate gains. The petty person is <a href="/wiki/Egotistic" title="Egotistic">egotistic</a> and does not consider the consequences of his action in the overall scheme of things. Should the ruler be surrounded by <i>xiaoren</i> as opposed to <i>junzi</i>, his governance and his people will suffer due to their small-mindness. Examples of such <i>xiaoren</i> individuals may range from those who continually indulge in sensual and emotional pleasures all day to the politician who is interested merely in power and fame; neither sincerely aims for the long-term benefit of others. </p><p>The <i>junzi</i> enforces his rule over his subjects by acting virtuously himself. It is thought that his pure virtue would lead others to follow his example. The ultimate goal is that the government behaves much like a family, the <i>junzi</i> being a beacon of filial piety. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Rectification_of_names">Rectification of names</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tablet_of_Confucius.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8e/Tablet_of_Confucius.jpg/220px-Tablet_of_Confucius.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="156" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8e/Tablet_of_Confucius.jpg/330px-Tablet_of_Confucius.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8e/Tablet_of_Confucius.jpg/440px-Tablet_of_Confucius.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1276" data-file-height="906" /></a><figcaption>Priest paying homage to Confucius's tablet, <abbr title="circa">c.</abbr><span style="white-space:nowrap;"> 1900</span></figcaption></figure> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Rectification_of_names" title="Rectification of names">Rectification of names</a></div> <p>Confucius believed that social disorder often stemmed from failure to perceive, understand, and deal with reality. Fundamentally, then, social disorder may stem from the failure to call things by their proper names, and his solution to this was the "rectification of names" (<span lang="zh">正名</span>; <i><span lang="zh-Latn">zhèngmíng</span></i>). He gave an explanation of this concept to one of his disciples: </p> <blockquote> <p>Zi-lu said, "The vassal of Wei has been waiting for you, in order with you to administer the government. What will you consider the first thing to be done?"<br /> The Master replied, "What is necessary to rectify names."<br /> "So! indeed!" said Zi-lu. "You are wide off the mark! Why must there be such rectification?"<br /> The Master said, "How uncultivated you are, Yu! The superior man [Junzi] cannot care about the everything, just as he cannot go to check all himself!<br />         If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things.<br />         If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success.<br />         When affairs cannot be carried on to success, proprieties and music do not flourish.<br />         When proprieties and music do not flourish, punishments will not be properly awarded.<br />         When punishments are not properly awarded, the people do not know how to move hand or foot.<br /> Therefore a superior man considers it necessary that the names he uses may be spoken appropriately, and also that what he speaks may be carried out appropriately. What the superior man requires is just that in his words there may be nothing incorrect."<br /> (<i>Analects</i> XIII, 3, tr.

While the lower house does not have any legislative power per se, it acts as a popular accountability mechanism by championing the people and putting pressure on the upper house. More generally, Bai argues that his model marries the best of meritocracy and democracy. Following Dewey's account of democracy as a way of life, he points to the participatory features of his local model: citizens still get to have a democratic lifestyle, participate in political affairs, and be educated as "democratic men". Similarly, the lower house allows citizens to be represented, have a voice in public affairs (albeit a weak one), and ensure accountability.

While <i>tiān</i> has some characteristics that overlap the category of deity, it is primarily an <i>impersonal</i> absolute, like <span title="Chinese-language text"><i lang="zh-Latn">dao</i></span> and <i>Brahman</i>. "Deity" (<span title="Ancient Greek (to 1453)-language text"><i lang="grc-Latn">theos</i></span>, <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">deus</i></span>), on the other hand connotes something <i>personal</i> (he or she, not it)."</li> <li>Quote, p. 12: "Confucianism deconstructs the sacred-profane dichotomy; it asserts that sacredness is to be found <em>in</em>, not behind or beyond, the ordinary activities of human life—and especially in human relationships. Human relationships are sacred in Confucianism because they are the expression of our moral nature (<span lang="zh">性</span>; <i><span lang="zh-Latn">xìng</span></i>), which has a transcendent anchorage in Heaven (<span lang="zh">天</span>; <i><span lang="zh-Latn">tiān</span></i>). Herbert Fingarette captured this essential feature of Confucianism in the title of his 1972 book, <i>Confucius: The Secular as Sacred</i>. To assume a dualistic relationship between sacred and profane and to use this as a criterion of religion is to beg the question of whether Confucianism can count as a religious tradition."</li></ul> </span></li> <li id="cite_note-:1-13"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-:1_13-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-:1_13-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-:1_13-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-:1_13-3"><sup><i><b>d</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFIvanhoeVan_Norden2005" class="citation book cs1"><a href="/wiki/Philip_J._Ivanhoe" title="Philip J.
