Confucius, the primogenitor of the Ru Family of Chinese Philosophy, lived during the turbulent Spring and Autumn Period. Confucianism focused on cultivating moral character, social harmony, and the importance of rituals and traditions. His philosophies emphasized the significance of filial piety, respect for elders and ancestors, and the five cardinal virtues: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and integrity.

Confucius's teachings align with the essence of the Hierophant, as both emphasize the importance of upholding traditions and seeking wisdom through education and personal growth. Confucius, like the Hierophant, encourages us to cultivate moral virtues and live in accordance with established principles, fostering a sense of harmony within ourselves and our communities.
