Under the song dynasty, individuals selected as officials followed the teachings of:
a.
buddha
b.
genghis khan
c.
jesus
d.
confucius

The correct answer is D) Confucius. Although philosophers and elected officials did infuse Buddhism with Confucian teachings, they created a sort of neo-Confucianism, which was a philosophy based completely on the teachings of Confucius. Even though they had Buddhist infusions within neo-Confucianism, people were often quite skeptical about Buddhist and Taoist (another Chinese religious tradition) teachings.
