Even though Confucianism is the main religion in the Zhou dynasty, it was wrong, it should have been legalism because by having Confucianism there was no order. Since Confucianism is based on moral goodness and not actual laws, people who did not believe it could do what they want with barely any punishment at all. Since legalism is based on laws people are forced to do what there told or there will punishments. Even though people should still think and act morally like Confucius believed, but we need laws to enforce and stop us from acting out. If legalism had been enforced in the Zhou dynasty, which is the longest lasting dynasty, it could have lasted much longer and could have become the greatest dynasty ever!
