There are five types of ethical relationships in ancient China between monarch and subjects, between father and son, between husband and wife, between brothers, and between friends. Confucianism lays great emphasis on these five human relationships. It maintains that every one of them, each containing specific moral principles, must be earnestly observed. Specifically, the sovereign should be benevolent and his subjects loyal; the father kind and his son filial; the husband righteous and his wife obedient; the elder brother good and the younger respectful; and friends be faithful to each other.
