Answer: One tradition is to clean the body and place rice in the mouth of a deceased family member. The family member is then placed next to them after being wrapped in a soul-capturing fabric. Three months later, they add their names to the family stone and bury the body with goods like gifts.

Compare or contrast it has to be something that you studied from your religion.

Answer:

First, Confucianism is a Philosophy. Also known as a system of behavior or thought that its origin comes from ancient China. It can be compared or contrasted to Christianism based on one of Confucianism's ideas.

That is in Confucianism the rule they base their religion on is:

"Do not do unto others what you would not want others to do unto you."

In Christianity, there are two commandments that sum up the 10 total.

One of which is:

"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

These two rules/commandments of Christianity and Confucianism are alike.

It can be compared because when you "love your neighbour" you treat your neighbor fairly as you would do to yourself.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confucianism involves believing in "ancestor worship" and virtues that are human-centered.

All this according to those who practice this religion (although there have been skeptics if this could be truly considered one[a religion]), to be able to live a peaceful life. One of their rules is "Do not do unto others what you would not want others to do unto you."

Christianity is a religion in which people, like myself, believe Jesus of Nazareth, died on the cross to forgive humans of their sins. They also believe that when you accept Jesus in your heart as your Lord and Savior and follow his 10 Commandments you will be treasured with eternal life in Heaven by God.

This religion sums up its ten commandments into two. Are:

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. " and "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

The foundation beliefs of these two religions are alike by the message their believers, well, believe in.
