What influence does Confucianism and Taoism have on China people?

First of all, Confucianism is a "study of joining the WTO", which focuses on political education and plays an important role in society. Personally, I think it is important to cultivate personal character. Advocating that people should strengthen their self-cultivation to govern the country and level the world emphasizes a positive historical mission and social responsibility. Such as "ruling the country and leveling the world", "achieving great things" and "being an official".

Taoist thought is "the study of birth", which mainly focuses on the life of the universe. It pays attention to the individual and the spiritual level of the individual. Taoism is no longer limited to self-development, but rises to the level of nature and human beings, advocating nature, advocating quietness and opposing struggle. What is emphasized is a concept of tranquility, harmony and transcendence. For example, "I am quiet without desire, and the world is self-determined", "I do nothing and the people are self-centered, I am quiet and the people are self-centered, I do nothing and the people are rich, and I have no desire and the people are simple".

From this point of view, the complementary influence of Confucianism and Taoism on China people is reflected in politics, economy, culture and many other aspects.

Politically and economically: When the society is in the post-war depression, we should adopt the Taoist thought of inaction and let the people recuperate. When production returns to a certain level, in order to improve productivity, it is necessary to adopt the Confucian idea of joining the WTO, appoint talents and seek more benefits for the people, so as to develop society and consolidate the ruling position of the rulers.

Culturally: it is a cultural treasure of later generations, and its thoughts have far-reaching influence.
