Legalism was the central governing idea of the Qin Dynasty, culminating in the unification of China under the 'First Emperor' (Qin Shi Huang).
The Qin emperor was ruthless in his use of Legalism, punishing even small crimes with decapitation or the loss of a hand or foot. Books and scholars which held beliefs against Legalism (such as Confucianism) were destroyed. The people were heavily taxed and forced into labor on major government projects. He successfully put the fear and respect of the law and government into the people, but it was too much.
After his death, a combination of plotting ministers and peasant rebellions caused the end of Legalism as the ruling philosophy of China.
They believed in harsh punishment and we chose a jail cell for our banner. They also thought that all people were naturally bad.

Although this girl is not into the Chinese way of doing things the one thing she will be into is respect for her fathers wishes It is the way she has been brought up. It is very difficult to answer your question because a lot of Chinese traditions are based on a regional traditions rather than cultural traditions there are over 50 regions in China each with its own traditions but the main one nowadays is Han Chinese I can not help you further but if you search the net you will find lots of information and I mean lots it is one of the oldest and most complicated cultures I wish you luck
