Religion and Belief Systems
During the Qin Dynasty, there was a strong belief in legalism. Legalism is an excessive adherence to the law and to the rules. It is a very strict belief system and everyone has to follow it in order to be apart of the community. Legalism also means that you can’t really trust anyone, so everyone is bad, even your own family. Many people thought that legalism was a bad belief system and was very unfair and cruel, but there was nothing that they could do about it. Legalism is also a political philosophy, which is the study of politics, liberty, justice, property, rights, laws, and the enforcement of a legal code by authority.
Another religion that was really important in the Qin Dynasty was confucianism. Confucianism is a religious or philosophical system, or a way of life. The people in the Qin Dynasty believed in this very strongly. This way of life was founded by Confucius. The people in the Qin Dynasty thought that this was a good way of life and strogly agreed with it.
Those were two of the religions and belief system that were in the Qin Dynasty.
