Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a continuously community-edited tertiary reference with no formal peer review process, suitable for citable, checkable factual claims but not treated as authoritative on genuinely contested points. NotesWikipedia's article on Confucianism, consulted 2026-08-13. Useful here specifically for its zhong subsection, which frames the virtue as a reciprocal duty between prince and minister rather than one-directional subservience, and for its note that later eras placed more weight on the ruled's obligations to the ruler and less on the reverse.
