Background:

From the Book of Changes, people in China have established a belief mode that "Heaven" is the highest belief, people are the object of care, and people should follow the heaven. Since Laozi and Confucius, China people have never been interested in God and God, and they have always understood "Heaven" in a "human" way. "Heaven" is "man" after all.

Laozi said: "People should be everywhere, the land should follow the sky, the sky should follow the Tao, and the Tao is natural." In other words, Lao Tzu went around a big circle and finally attributed the sky to "nature", that is, human nature.

Confucius pointed out: "A gentleman has three fears: fear of fate, fear of adults, and fear of the words of saints." Obviously, people, saints and destiny are regarded as one. Westerners believe that God is above, and all people are God's people.

People in China are different. We realize that the greatest thing in the universe is not God, but man. Therefore, China people worship heaven and earth, ancestors and sages, but never worship God and Buddha.
