From the historical relationship between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and Luoyang, the topic explains why "the roots are in Heluo".

The reasons for "rooted in Heluo" are as follows:

"Rooted in Heluo" means that the roots and cores of China's traditional culture, philosophy and morality are all in Luoyang and its surrounding areas. This statement can be explained by the close relationship between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and Luoyang history.

First of all, Luoyang is one of the cradles of ancient Confucianism in China. The early Confucian classic Shangshu and other documents mentioned Luoyang in many places, and the famous Luoyang Zhigui was also written by famous Confucian scholars in Han Dynasty. Later, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang became the academic center of Confucianism, where famous Confucian scholars such as Zheng Xuan and Kong Anguo gave lectures.

Secondly, Buddhism has a close relationship with Luoyang in the process of spreading in China. It is said that when Buddhism was introduced to China, the first missionary, the Master of Ji Xiang Temple, built a temple in Luoyang and carried out a lot of missionary activities. During the Tang Dynasty, a large number of Buddhist temples were built in Luoyang and its surrounding areas, including Baima Temple and Longmenshan Grottoes.

Finally, Taoism and Luoyang have a deep historical origin. Laozi, the originator of Taoism, was born in Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province (now southwest of Luoyang City), and the theory of "Huang Lao" in Taoism also originated from the integration of Huangdi and Laozi's thoughts in Luoyang. To sum up, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are closely related to Luoyang's history, which makes Luoyang one of the important cradles of China's traditional culture, and the saying that "its roots are in Heluo" is also formed.
