问题     Confucianism, the philosophical system founded on the teaching of Confucius, who lived from 551 BC to 479 BC, dominated Chinese sociopolitical life for most of the Chinese history and largely influenced the cultures of Korea, Japan, and Indochina. The Confucian school functioned as a recruiting ground for government【S1】______, which were filled by those scoring highest on examinations in the Confucian classics. It also【S2】______ with popular and important religions and became the vehicle for presenting Chinese【S3】______ to the peasants.

The Song Dynasty (960--1279 AD) produced Nco-Confucianism, which is an interpretation of classical Confucianism doctrine that addressed both Buddhist and Daoist issues. From the beginning of the 1200’s to about 1949 and the communist era in China, Confucianism was the【S10】______ that told the peasants of China that the mandate of heaven said that emperors were to rule the Chinese Empire.
