Confucianism is a philosophical political system

You can follow it in many ways

Like we have the classical system

But many people also follow in a religious way that besides philosophical part is basically folk beliefs

Confucianism is influencing China, Korea, Singapore and Vietnam since millions of years

In China during republican era Confucianism had a rebirth and was widely supported by Sun Yat Sen and Chiang Kai Shek

During Maoist times, the philosophical production was sealed and everything was restricted to Mao's figure view of it

Nowadays it is having also a new rebirth in China and even in both Koreas

To summarize for you:

Confucianism major objective is to create a moralized and stable society, people from all religions can follow it

The figure of the leader is also important as he needs to be the wise leader of the people
