Confucianism and Taoism

Answer 1

The "Confucian" system had a rich meaning:

** 1. The Confucian and Taoist system at the cultural level **
1. ** Origin and Development **
- It was formed during the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties. At that time, the feudal rulers used Confucianism to transform primitive Taoism. The content of primitive Taoism was more complicated, including traditional ghost sacrifice, witchcraft and superstition of primitive religion, forbidden spells, Fu Zhuan, divination and divination of Han Dynasty, guiding qi, taking food and refining, fasting and prolonging life, etc. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the primitive Taoism began to divide due to the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising. The division intensified during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Some of the believers developed to the upper class, participated in the political activities of the ruling class, and reformed the early Taoism among the people.
- In Baopuzi, Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty constructed the method of cultivation and immortality for Taoism and established a theoretical system. He also put forward the idea of immortal health preservation as the inner and Confucianism as the external. He combined Taoist immortal magic with Confucian cardinal guides and virtues, and advocated that Taoists should be based on Confucian loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, forgiveness, faith and harmony. The number of high-ranking aristocrats participating in Taoism increased, and factions such as Shangqing and Lingbao appeared and developed. At the same time, the people still spread the popular form of Taoism and launched an uprising against the feudal rule. There was a struggle between transformation and anti-transformation within Taoism. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Confucianism successfully transformed the original Taoism.
- Feudal rulers moved from the confluence of Confucianism and Taoism to both Confucianism and Taoism, and Taoism became the imperial tool to maintain feudal rule and had always been worshipped and supported.
2. ** In the traditional mythological system **
- Before the Han Dynasty, the mythological system mainly existed in Confucianism. During the Han Dynasty, Taoism developed, and a large number of Taoist elements began to appear in myths. Nowadays, the traditional mythological system included Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The ancient mythological system of the orthodox Confucian school included the mythological stories recorded in ancient books such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Its thinking was mostly focused on the origin of man, the concept of heaven, the formation and confrontation of tribes, and so on. In the Book of Songs, time moved backward, and the direction of thinking changed to the concentration of power. Huainanzi perfected the previous mythological system, created the three realms and six realms, and began to compromise with the supreme power.
