Confucius. What was your philosophy based on?. (1-4)

In the little written legacy that Confucius left, the Analects, which is a collection of conversations with his disciples, here it can be seen that he based his entire moral philosophy on a central teaching: ren (jen), which is the virtue of humanity and In turn, it is based on benevolence, loyalty, respect and reciprocity. These values ​​are essential in human relationships, which Confucius described as follows:
1. Between governor and minister.
2. Between father and son.
3. Between husband and wife.
4. Between older brother and younger brother.
5. Between slaves and owner.
These relationships also have a main characteristic: the superior has the obligation of protection and the inferior, of loyalty and respect.
