What is the root of China traditional culture?

The real source of traditional culture, some people say it is Confucian culture, others say it is legalist culture, and there are different opinions. In fact, we can find out by a simple method. Let's take a look at when the mainstream culture appeared. The representative figures of Confucian culture are Confucius and Mencius, which appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period 2500 years ago. The representatives of Buddhist culture are Xuanzang, Faxian, Dharma and Huineng. It appeared in the Han Dynasty 1800 years ago. The representatives of Taoist culture are Lao Zi and Zhuangzi, but there is actually another representative, Huangdi, and there is a school called "Huang Lao School", which can prove that the cultures of Huangdi and Lao Zi are in the same strain. The era when the Yellow Emperor lived was 5000 years ago.

Through comparison, we can see that during the 2500 years from 5000 years ago to 2500 years ago, Taoist culture was the only culture and played a leading role. The time when Taoist culture acted on China society was 5000 years. The time when Confucian culture acted on China society was 2500 years. The time when Buddhist culture acted on China society was 1800 years. Thus, Taoist culture is the real source of China traditional culture.
