Confucius's ideas on Law and the principles by which society is organized and managed properly can be summarized in the following lessons: “The superior man is dominated by love of justice, the common man is dominated by the love of gain”. Confucius required to be respected traditions, customs and rituals in order to have a stronger society and citizens that obey the laws.
