I. IntroductionThe role of the Chinese family in pre-modern China included thoughts centered on Confucian thought and methods. The Chinese family followed different methods of Confucian thought, and due to this, the division of family responsibilities developed in China. Confucius' original text that dictated the roles of filial piety in China did not specify the gender dichotomy but the implications led Chinese scholars to distinguish the position of men who follow filial values ​​from that of women. Pre-modern China had the ruling power of dozens of dynasties. Confucianism developed ideologically during the Spring and Autumn Period (722-476 BC) as an intellectual movement. Although the beliefs of Confucianism stem from the thought of acceptance involving humanity's right to learn and grow through personal understanding and knowledge of external influences, in filial piety there is a division between male and female duties. A woman's place in pre-modern Chinese society always depended on the male figure in the family, unless the woman held a position of seniority. In most cases, women under Confucian control had little direction in life that men could not handle. In this article I will discuss the relationship between self, community, society and state, as well as gender relations and definitions of public and private spaces between men and women in China.II. The levels of Confucianism Religion is an interesting aspect in the Chinese context due to the role it has had in history. Christianity did not spread to the East with the same success it had in Europe and in the isolated thought of the Chinese of the time. The foundations of Confucianism include and encourage the humanistic pursuit of knowledge and understanding of oneself and... middle of paper... the Chinese chose instead to uphold their own values ​​and certain social relationships such as the position of women and definitions of public and private space between men and women have come under scrutiny. Duties of filial piety have a place in traditional Chinese society and must have value to continue to evolve with the country, but the values ​​are only worth maintaining if they do not hinder a nation's progress and growth.
