Answer:Confucianism

Explanation: Confucianism is a Chinese philosophy which basically states that one should not do to other people what they would not want those people to do to them.

Confucianism is technical term and not religiously based term but it does have some similarities because it also encourages loving other people. It is driven by the act of kindness, appreciation of others and mutual respect. It is based on the idea that society can flourish if people interact with each other in a positive way.
