What does Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism mean?

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism refer to the idea of the unity of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

It started in Liang Wudi, Nanliang, and continued to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in Sui and Tang Dynasties. This "confluence" can't cover up their exclusion and struggle, and it was not until the Yuan and Ming Dynasties that they gradually moved from difficult debate to harmony. Buddhism is Buddhism, which was founded more than 3,000 years ago by Prince Siddhartha of Gautama in Kapilowei (now Nepal).

Buddhism attaches importance to the progress and consciousness of human mind and morality. Taoism means that on the basis of China's ancient religious beliefs, it inherits most religious concepts, practice methods and folk belief in gods, and takes the thoughts of immortality and health preservation formed by the mysticism of Laozi and Zhuangzi as the core beliefs of Taoism.

The isomorphism of Confucian self-cultivation, Taoist self-cultivation and Buddhist self-cultivation has become the life and philosophical basis of China classical literati, and has also exerted a lasting influence on the classical culture of China and the customs and traditions of China people today. It can be said that the traditional culture of China is basically the result of the interaction between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

The three schools not only compete with each other, but also absorb and integrate with each other, and continue to develop and progress. Confucianism is the main one, supplemented by Buddhism, but it is impossible to completely define the differences among the three schools, because there is no clear boundary in itself. To sum up, to a certain extent, the three schools of culture are the traditional culture of China, and the traditional culture of China is represented by these three schools.
