Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of the "three submissions" (sancong) is traditionally associated with Confucian teachings, but it was not explicitly proposed by Confucius himself. The "three submissions" refer to the idea that a woman should submit to her father before marriage, her husband after marriage, and her sons in widowhood. This concept is more accurately attributed to later interpretations and teachings of Confucianism rather than to Confucius directly or any single philosopher listed in the options.
