One specific aspect I should focus on is Confucianism. This ideology, which devel- oped during China's Spring and Autumn period, later became dominant and experi- enced various rises and falls throughout Chinese history. Confucianism has signifi- cantly influenced the formation of the Chi- nese nation and modern Chinese propa- ganda, particularly in constructing national- ist ideologies.
Illustrations that depict Confucianismʼs interactions with other ancient ideologies, such as Taoism. These illustrations visualise how Confucianism interacts with and develops alongside these other phi- losophies. The exersice aims to better understand and demonstrate the complex dynamics at play, revealing how these layers interact and sometimes combat each other.
