However, there are great differences between Taoism and Confucianism. They are not the mainstream culture of China, but they also have a deep influence on China people, especially some literati. Once they encounter difficulties in life, they will take Taoist culture to relieve their depression. Taoism is a magical existence for the world, which is understandable, but it is difficult to act according to its statement.
