What did confucius teach the Chinese to be their most important duty?

As a foundation for the life of perfect goodness, Confucius insisted mainly on the four virtues of sincerity, benevolence, filial piety, and propriety.|||"The philosophy of Confucius emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity."





"He championed strong familial loyalty, ancestor worship, respect of elders by their children (and, according to later interpreters, of husbands by their wives), and the family as a basis for an ideal government. He expressed the well-known principle, "Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself", one of the earlier versions of the Golden Rule."
