Confucian and Legalist

Requirements:
What does a comparison of the Confucian and Legalist philosophies tell us about the concerns of thinkers during the Eastern Zhou period? Your essay should demonstrate a familiarity with the tenets of the philosophies and the historical conditions at the time. Be sure to cite specific passages from the translated primary sources (which is the attached file HAN FEI TZU and THE ANALECTS ).

Follow the below conditions to construct the essay:
A: These essays are a pleasure to read. They brighten an otherwise dreary chore.
1. Such answers are long enough to demonstrate more than a general knowledge of the material (generally 4 blue book pages in a normal, single-spaced hand, which would translate to approximately 400 words). They address most of the issues relevant to the question.
2. They are also characterized by specificity, providing concrete examples (with names, dates, concepts, etc.) from the readings and lectures that clearly support the points being made.
3. The essay contains a clear argument in a form that answers the question. It is also laid out in a logical fashion.
4. Finally, such answers are well-written. Grammatical structures are clear, and vocabulary demonstrates a thorough absorption of the material presented in the class.
