Han Dynasty 206-220

The Han created confucianism as the official state policy.  The two main beliefs in the Han dynasty are Mohism and Legalism.  Mohism has to do with universal love.  It is also known as Mozi or Mo Di.  Mohism is also against campaigns of conquest.  Legalism has to do with standardizing laws.  You are rewarded for behavior that's good for the state and you're punished for bad behavior.  Legalism also feels that human nature is evil.  People  always have respect for oneself and have grace so the world can find peace.
