What are the representations of Confucianism, Legalism and Taoism in shaping China's traditional personality?

Confucianism is not Confucianism in the era of Confucius and Mencius, but a neo-Confucianism system established by Dong Zhongshu and finally perfected by Zhu. Sorry, I have a low opinion of this ideological system. In my eyes, it worships the formalistic system, advocates seeking a model of personal integrity rather than an effective system design, relies on technology but despises it, and even fails to inherit the Confucian emphasis on practical skills such as shooting and defense in Confucius and Mencius. Of course, as an ideological system that has been circulating for thousands of years, there are many good ideas in it, but it is hard to say how much of this idea is inherited from Confucius and Mencius and how much is the continued development of Confucianism in later generations. With all due respect, the ideological system of inheriting more than developing is rigid, if not bad.

Taoism is a Taoist system constructed by Tao Te Ching and Zhuangzi. Pay attention to follow the trend, and take the troubled times to preserve our sanity as the main purpose. Compared with Confucian legalists, Taoism is hardly regarded as a political thought, but more as a pure philosophy.

The original source of legalist thought comes from three different branches: Shen Buhai's "technique", Shang Yang's "law" and Shen Dao's "teacher". These three sources finally converge on Han Feizi. However, although Han Feizi paid equal attention to the magic potential verbally, in fact, he failed to really do this. After Dong Zhongshu, the rational part of legalist thought was greatly deleted or even avoided, and now all that remains is the "technique" part.
