Confucian dynamics are often thought responsible for the incredibly fast economic growth of the Asian Tigers and more recently of China. In the Confucian society there is always someone to be followed: the role model. Virtuous role models are an integral part of a good functioning Confucian society. In today's China ethical rules are implemented in society by way of slogan campaigns or by pictures of role models. This is nothing new. Since ancient times pictures were used to teach people how to conduct and how to be virtuous.
