Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, in the traditional culture of China and even East Asia, refer to Confucianism (Confucianism), Buddhism (Buddhism) and Taoism (Taoism), without religion.
The development of the concept of three religions is a stage in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. At first, although there were three religions, they were completely independent of each other. Later, they influenced each other and merged with each other. Finally, China's culture and religion with the integration of the three religions were formed, which influenced the Korean Peninsula, Viet Nam and Ryukyu. The three religions are independent, inclusive and integrated, forming a system.
Extended data:
Taoism in the three major religious systems often worships Confucian sages, buddhas and bodhisattvas, and Buddhism often absorbs Taoist immortals and Confucian sages as protectors and enshrines them in temples. There are four famous Taoist mountains and four famous Buddhist mountains in China. In fact, they are all places where this religion is dominant and the three religions are integrated. The Five Mountains in China are also famous cultural mountains where the three religions are integrated.

The book on the door reads: "divide heaven and earth, teach Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and eventually become one way."
