How are hammurabi's code and chinese confucianism similar?

Hammurabi was the 6th Babylonian King in 18th century BC while Confucius was a Chinese teacher, philosopher and a prophet who passed away in 479 BC. They are from different times and cultures but there are striking similarities between their teachings and writings.

Both of them emphasized on the rule of Law, Hammurabi is a bit straight forward in citing the punishment for a crime while Confucius being a philosopher quoted it in his teachings, urging people to abide by the rules and law and giving such a man the title of “Great Man”.  In the second example when Confucius is stressing on family values and taking care of family, he is being straight forward while Hammurabi when citing the same subject puts is in another way, for example if someone son has died due to the negligence of a builder, the builder’s son will be killed. That shows he is stressing on family values also.

And the final and most amazing similarity is the stressing on Truth, both Hammurabi and Conscious seem uncompromising on this subject.
