What are the qualities of an ideal ruler for Confucius and Han fei?

According to Confucius an ideal ruler could gain loyalty only by treating his people with the same love that parents show to their children. He called it ren, or kindness. He believed that a good society is like a family in which all members know their place and their responsibilities or duties.

According to Han Fei the ruler should set some specific rules or laws to rule successfully and to enable the common people to know clearly what will bring pleasure and what will bring pain. There should be only one authority and one standard, and that standard rests with the ruler alone. He also advises rulers to make best use of their lofty position as their position is the ruler's sole source of power.
