Abstract Confucianism is a value system aiming at exploring the ideal political order. Confucians constructs the basic model of its political order according to the basic structure of political order of political substantiality, social norm and order force and its running mechanism. This basic model changes in content and element with the development of Confucianism, stressing on different aspects in the composition and running of political order. As a result, different theories and forms arise, like the Original Form (the PreQin Form), the SubForm (the Western and Eastern Han Form), the Reborn Form (the Sung and Ming Form) and the Derivative Form (the Qing Form). Different as they are, they have two things in common: they all takee the Great Harmonious Society as their ultimate goal and they all takes IndividualFamilyKing as carriers of political order, the Three Cardinal Guides and the Five Constant Virtues as their political order, and Benevolence and Rite, Benevolence Governing and Paternalistic Authority as their order driver.
