There were three basic ways of living that were thought up in the time of Confucius and shortly after. There was, Confucianism, which stated that power called for responsibility, and he made up five principles which were about a basic way of living in harmony and peace without the need for government interference. The second was Daosim, which stated that people had to find their own way in life, to fit in with the cosmic force, nature, and the universe. The third was Legalism, which stated that welfare of the state wasn't as important as the welfare of the people. This belief stated that laws were need to be made to keep order in society.
When a place or situation faces chaos, this makes people think about new ways and ideas to bring about change. When things reach a certain point, an extreme, the people decide to take action. An example of this is like when Marie Antoinette was queen of France. She was frivolously spending money, while the common folks didn't even have bread to eat. At this point, the townspeople rebelled and took over the rule of the castle, which forced Marie Antoinette and her family into exile. This is just one example of how people throughout history will force a change to a status quo, and that is when new ideas and concepts in politics and philosophies emerge.
