This refers to the effect a ruler's virtuous behavior has on his
subjects, in the way the wind influences the myriad things. Moral
cultivation is an important part of education. The Confucian view is
that a ruler should set an example to the people, influencing them
unobtrusively. If he is moral and ethical in conduct, the people will
follow his example and abide by the rites and moral standards willingly
without being under duress. The term also refers to the prevailing
social mores in a country shaped by a ruler's influence.
