Hey #philosophytwitter! I've these questions about Confucius and the Confucian school of thought:
Does the term “Confucian” refer exclusively to the teachings of Confucius or to something more general? If it's the latter, were these two always compatible?

As in, are there contradictions to be found between these general ideas and the teachings of Confucius?
Also, as an extension of this question, what were the beliefs of the Confucian school on nationalism, war and the rights of the Chinese emperor over the world?

Any references would be of great help, too. Thank you :)
PS, I have a rather vague understanding of Chinese history and philosophy. So, please pardon anything that sounds silly or — I hope not — obnoxious.
