Confucianism help - Rules to follow
Hi, Basil!
I'm doing a mini presentation on Confucianism and I was wondering if anyone could help me out a bit.
I'm looking for a set of rules that people who adhere to Confucianism must follow.
For example:
-Jews are not allowed to eat pork
-Muslims can't drink wine
-Christianity has the 10 commandments
So I need stuff like that. Simple rules that they follow. I found things that relate more to how they should behave such as the Filial Piety (Respect for the elders) but I'm kinda lost on the rules. If anyone could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

@megabob10:
Oh you mean the 5 virtues? So it's pretty much a philosophy that teaches you to respect your parents, rewarded for your deeds (merit system), and so on?
There are no rules. It's a philosophy more so than a religion. The 5 relationships were to instill order during a time of warring (3 Kingdoms).
