Question

Which best describes the influence of Confucianism?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Confucianism only influenced Chinese and Japanese cultures.

Explanation:

Confucianism is the set of moral and religious doctrines preached by the disciples and followers of Confucius after his death. Your school's Chinese name could be translated by ‘school of the lawyers’. Confucianism has had a great influence on China, Korea, Vietnam and Japan. It was the official religion of China until the seventh century. The canon of Confucian philosophy is made up of the Four Books. Its thinking was formed over a long period that covers the epochs of Spring and Autumn and Fighting Kingdoms (7th to 3rd centuries BC). When China was reunified by Qin Shi Huang (221 BC), it was already a perfectly formed and defined doctrine, with many followers and a great textual corpus. After the brief Qin dynasty, its fundamental nucleus has remained intact, except for possible transmission errors and interpolations.
