What are the 5 relationships of confucius?

Central to Confucius' teaching are relationships and social roles. There are five great relationships:





1.Kindness in the father and obedient devotion in the son


2.Gentility in the eldest brother and humility and respect in the younger


3.Righteous behavior in the husband and obedience in the wife


4.Humane consideration in elders and deference in juniors


5.Benevolence in rulers and loyalty of ministers and subjects


If these attitudes are practiced there will be harmony among all.
