Among other explanations, it is consistent with China's growing strengths relative to the status-quo powers, thus giving rise to the corresponding ascendancy of the Confucian-Mencian paradigm. It seems that at this time in the post-Cold War, the Confucian-Mencian paradigm is approaching an equilibrium with the Sunzi paradigm in their influence on Chinese security policy, which is best illustrated by the recent Taiwan Strait and Mischief Reef crises.

  • Confucian Values In Imperial China

    1586 Words  | 7 Pages

    Traditional Chinese culture has historically been male-centred. In Imperial China, politics and business were almost entirely the affairs of men, while women were typically restricted to the home. Patriarchal values were even reinforced through religious experiences and ancestral worship, as the ancestors to whom an imperial emperor would make sacrifices to were almost exclusively patrilineal ancestors (Ebrey 18). When women were recorded in the early Chinese historical record, it was generally because they were considered to have caused problems for their male counterparts. For example, in Gender and Sinology: Shifting Western Interpretations of Footbinding, the author recalls a story recorded during the Zheng dynasty when the daughter of
