| | Confucianism |
 | | Its Chinese character previously had the religious meaning of "sacrifice": 禮 is 示 'altar' on the left of 曲 on 豆 representing a vase full of flowers, offered as a sacrifice to the gods. | | | With Confucianism firmly ensconsed in the minds of the Chinese people and their politicians, the philosophy became the country's foremost, and no serious attempt to replace it came until the advent of Communism in the 20th century. | | | It lasted 16 years, during which money, written Chinese characters, laws and the width of an axle were unified, and a great auto da fe declared against all existing books except medical and technical ones. |
