Confucianism is considered to be an ideology that has a profound and long-lasting influence on Vietnamese society. It was the moral foundation of humanities, contributed greatly to state organization and economic development, and maintained social order. Vietnamese Confucianism was integral to the literary developments in monarchical dynasties such as the Lý, Trần, Lê, and Nguyễn. Throughout history, Confucianism blended and harmonized with Vietnamese life, forming a type of Confucianism with Vietnamese identity, commonly known as Việt Nho (literally "Vietnamese Ruism").
The profound influence of Confucianism on the foundation of Vietnamese civilization puts the country among those influenced by Chinese civilization, called the Sinosphere. Since its development, Vietnamese Confucianism has gradually shaped the way of life, activities, ethics, and interpersonal relationships in Vietnamese society, so much so that some Confucian ideas still play major roles in Vietnamese social order to this day.
