Korean Confucianism is a philosophical and ethical system that emphasizes the importance of family, social harmony, and moral integrity. Rooted in the teachings of Confucius, it became prominent in Korea during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). This system shaped Korean society by promoting respect for elders, filial piety, and the value of education. In addition to its ethical teachings, Korean Confucianism influenced political structures and cultural practices. It encouraged a merit-based bureaucracy and the idea of governance for the people. The legacy of Korean Confucianism continues to impact modern Korean society, particularly in family dynamics and social relationships.
