Picking The Best Religion

The Qing Dynasties emperors came to a conclusion to have Confucianism as their religion. The goal of Confucianism was a just and peaceful society. Confucius thought that society worked well when all people acted properly based upon their roles and relationships with other people. This belief was important for society because it taught all people to look up to their elders and be kind, honest, wise and faithful. Confucius taught, "Do not do to others what you would not want done to you." According to Confucianism, there were five basic relationships: ruler and subject, husband and wife, father and son, older sibling and younger sibling, and friend and friend. Those with authority must set a good example for others. This is important because if you do not set good examples for other peple then everyone will be bad. No one will be respectful and that will not be a good society. Another religion that the Qing emperors could have picked was Daoism. The teachings of Daoism was that there should be less laws and rules and people should live a more natural life. This religion would be a bad religion for the Qing Dynasty because if there are no harsh laws people who get in trouble will never really learn their lesson. They will continue to do bad things because there is no consequences for their actions. These are the reasons why the Qing Emperors picked Confucianism as their religion.
