Oracle Bone Inscriptions's Confucianism, Confucius and Confucius Sacrifice Ceremony

A large number of Oracle bones unearthed in Yin Ruins reflect the prosperity of divination in Shang Dynasty. From state affairs to private life, such as sacrifice, climate, harvest, conquest, hunting, sick people, childbirth, going out, etc. The royal family and nobles all asked God for advice until they decided to stop. As a result, divination became a major event in the political life of the country, and the court set up special institutions and divination officials. Oracle Bone Inscriptions with inscriptions is preserved as a national archive and piled in caves. Therefore, Oracle Bone Inscriptions became the first-hand material to study the history of Shang Dynasty, reflecting all aspects of social life from BC 1300 to BC 1000.

This is the proposition of Confucian theory of rule by virtue. Confucianism inherited and developed the Western Zhou Dynasty's "Mindfulness and Cautious Punishment", but it also reformed it. Confucianism emphasizes the political significance of "virtue", which mainly includes leniency and benevolent governance, and holds that "virtue" is the main method to govern the country and gain people's support; Second, the status of "virtue" has been improved, and it is considered that "virtue" is higher than the power of monarch, state and law. This is the standard to distinguish "benevolent monarch" from "tyrant" and the guiding principle of rule and justice.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to Confucius held in Sicheng is patriotic. But what I don't know is when Confucius in China became a "patent" for Koreans.
