This video’s main topic is talking about the ancient Chinese view on how the ruler should govern their domains. It provides a view that says whoever governs the country should have enough merits so that he or she can rule properly. It says that Confucius’s opinion of a governor is one that can make poetry, draw paintings, play chess, and play an instrument. Nowadays, I think, those values of a governor might just mean that the person has a wide range of knowledge that can help him or her with the ruling. Confucius says that one should try to be a Junzi in order to be a decent person and be a powerful and effective ruler.
