generosity should be inherent for each person, but primarily for
governors. Confucius believed that these features are given to man by
haven. Over time people forget them, moving away from them.

Returning to them, according to Confucius, is possible only on the basis
of the "correction of names" through the use of common names.
Contradictions in a language, the erroneous concepts directly affect

reality, change it to worse. The motto of Confucius is "Do not do to
people what you do not want to be done to you" and generally expresses
the essence of the great philosophical thinker.
Unlike Confucianism, the moist school refused human dependence

on Heaven. Its founder Mo-Dzy treated Heaven as an ideal, for which all
must strive. A human being is free in his choice, but if he acts against
the will of Heaven, he will inevitably encounter suffering.

Moists believed that Heaven tends to unity, equality, good. In a
society there is a division into strangers and not strangers, rich and poor,
etc. Accordingly, moizm proposes the statement 'union opposed to
disunion’, and it shows the principles of their philosophy - love to a

stranger, the prohibition of wars, choosing the rulers by their wisdom
and business accumen.
Along with Confucianism and moizm the school to lehizm

(lawyers) is developing in China. Without denying moral norms lehizm,
for the first plan proposes laws and on the basis of legal rights builds its
system of relations in a society, that is equality before the law.

A kind of objection to the ideas of the previous school was the
philosophy of Taoism, which occurred in the first cent. BC. By Taoism
the human destiny depends on "Tao" - universal law. "Tao" is not fatal,

it gives complete freedom for a human being. The founder of Taoism
Lao Tzu emphasized that "Tao" is not interfering in the development of
nature and society, because it is constantly in inaction.
In general philosophy of ancient China developed political, legal

and moral norms of behaviour in a society, playing the role of a certain
ideal and guidance in daily human activities.
