The Duke Ching, of Ch'i, asked Confucius about government.Go here to read the introductory post to this serialized version of the Analects of Confucius.
Confucius replied, "There is government, when the prince is prince, and the minister is minister; when the father is father, and the son is son."
"Good!" said the duke; "if, indeed, the prince be not prince, the not minister, the father not father, and the son not son, although I have my revenue, can I enjoy it?"
