Basic teaching of Confucianism is 1. cultivate self, 2. regulate family, 3. cure the country then 4. bring peace to the world.
Self cultivation covers a wide range of topics. Filial piety or moral education is one. It can be said as a Chinese monk living at home with family. Meditation and vegetarian diet are the basic most important factors.
You don't find this sort of teaching in other scriptures.
Next is regulate the family or discipline the family. King David never did that.
Next is to cure the country. Country ills bring misfortune to the country. So the right policy has to be implemented. Pornography is a sin. So countries promoting or allowing pornography are committing sins. Therefore God or Nature will rain down disasters. Next is coveting. So countries conquering other countries are great sinners. You Western countries better bear that in mind.
How to cure a country? Very simple. Appoint a holy man as the figure head president.
Next is to bring peace to the world. How? When the Sage King is appointed president, the world will be at peace.
So Confucianism is superior to all religions. No violence is used.
