Extended data:

First, Taoism

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Laozi gathered the great wisdom of ancient sages and sages. Summarized the essence of ancient Taoist thought and formed a complete and systematic Taoist theory, which marked the formal formation of Taoist thought. It has a profound influence on China's philosophy, literature, science and technology, art, music, medical care and religion.

Needham said: "Many of the most attractive factors in China's personality come from Taoist thought. Without Taoist thought, China is like a tree, with deep roots and luxuriant leaves, rotting away. " "Taoist thought is the foundation of China's science and technology" and "(Taoist philosophy) are very important in the history of science in China."

Second, Buddhism.

Buddhism has a history of more than 2,500 years. It was founded by Gautama Siddharta, the prince of the ancient Indian kingdom of Kapilovi (now Nepal) (see Buddha's birthday). Western countries generally believe that Buddhism originated in India, and India is actually trying to shape the image of a "Buddhist holy land".

This has caused many people to have the illusion that the Buddha was born in India, which has always made the Nepalese people dissatisfied. Buddhism is also one of the three major religions in the world. Buddhism attaches importance to the progress and consciousness of human mind and morality. The purpose of practicing Buddhism is to discover the truth of life and the universe according to Siddhartha's practice method, and finally transcend life and death and suffering, cut off all troubles and get relief.

Third, Confucianism.

Confucianism, also known as Confucianism, Taoism, Confucianism and Taoism, is a mainstream cultural thought, philosophy and religious system, which originated in China and influenced and spread to other neighboring countries in East Asia.

Founded by Confucius in the 5th century, it was born out of the tradition of rites and music in the Zhou Dynasty. It takes benevolence, forgiveness, honesty and filial piety as its core values, emphasizes the moral cultivation of gentlemen, emphasizes that benevolence and etiquette complement each other, attaches importance to five ethics and family ethics, advocates enlightenment and benevolent government, despises taxes, attacks tyranny, tries to rebuild the order of rites and music, changes customs, protects the country and benefits the people, and is rich in the ideal of joining the WTO and humanistic spirit.

Confucianism is one of the most influential schools in ancient China since Dong Zhongshu "ousted a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone". Confucianism, as the embodiment of China's inherent value system, is not an academic or school in the usual sense. Generally speaking, especially in the pre-Qin period, although Confucianism was the most influential school, it was only one of the hundred schools and had no affiliation with other hundred schools.
