What are the pillars of traditional cultural architecture in China?

The edifice of traditional culture in China is based on Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. The three schools have different starting points for paying attention to social problems, thus forming their cognitive differences on social and cultural awareness.

Confucianism takes "human" as the foundation, pays attention to taking care of life, society and nature from the perspective of "human", attaches importance to the meaning and value of human life, and advocates taking morality as the highest value of life. Taoism, on the other hand, takes "nature" as the standard, pays attention to taking care of life, society and the universe from "nature", emphasizes that nature is the foundation of life, and advocates conforming to nature and returning to nature. It is the two core concepts of "man" and "nature" that laid the foundation for the formation of China's cultural system. Buddhism introduced later, based on "liberation", tried to get rid of confusion, trouble, pain and the cycle of life and death through practice, and entered the ideal realm of "nirvana" with great freedom and great freedom. At first, Buddhism, as a foreign heterogeneous culture, constantly merged with Confucianism and Taoism in the conflict; By the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the 4th and 5th centuries, Buddhism had basically completed the process of integrating into the traditional culture of China.

Common sense means that Confucianism cares about the governance of society, Taoism cares about the maintenance of the natural state of life, and Buddhism cares about the relief of life pain. Therefore, there are theories in history that Confucianism governs the world, Taoism governs the body and Buddhism governs the mind. Confucianism entered the WTO, Taoism closed its doors and Buddhism was born.

Although Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have different weights, they can still achieve mastery through a comprehensive study, complement each other, and form a cultural pattern of * * * and * * glory, which has long dominated and influenced the spiritual life of the Chinese nation. Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism constitute the three major veins of China culture, and the three major schools (traditionally known as the three religions) have propped up the sky of China traditional culture.
