Han Fei Tzu in his treatise criticized the dogma of Confucianism.
Confucius taught that the authority of the ruler is predetermined by his virtue. No one is obliged to obey the unworthy ruler. Han Fei Tzu believed that the authorities should not strive for the assertion of justice and virtue. The moral qualities of the ruler do not affect the obligation of subjects to follow his commands.
The essential and unchanging principle of the universe is that the subject serves the ruler, the son - the father, and his wife - to her husband. Moreover, subordination to the sovereign is more important than family obligations.
The order in society is supported by the laws that the sovereign adopts. Until the law is canceled, everyone, not excluding the sovereign himself, must follow it regardless of whether this law is fair or not
