The only 'probable' answer is 'the practice of animal sacrifice'.

Confucius, the founding father, was a great Teacher of moral values. His emphasized on how to live as a human. One of his verse said, "if you don't understand life, how do you understand death?".
He had never teach the sacrifice of animals to God/heaven. Nonetheless, Chinese treat him as a deity, set up temples to worship him, and offer food (including animals) to him. But this superstitious practice is not a teaching of Confucius.

The other 3 are shared by both.

Animal Sacrifice.

Both originated in Asia.

The "Code of Conduct" is not really so strong as that in Buddhism, but it tends to be strong in Confucianism.

Both are atheistic, so neither Buddhism nor Confucianism practice animal Sacrifice.

The "founding father" may be mythical in both of these cases.
