Later, it was different from Taoism, which advocated Taoist thoughts such as Huang Lao Lie Zhuang. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it has been called Confucianism and Holy Religion, and it is also called the three religions together with Indian Buddhism and China Taoism.

Buddha is also called Tathagata, repentance, right knowledge, good deeds, good death, worldly solution, supreme master, mediator and Buddha. Buddhism attaches importance to the progress and consciousness of human mind and morality.

It is a comprehensive cultural product of ancient immortal thoughts, Taoist teachings, worship of ghosts and gods, divination, divination, runes and spells. Taoism regards "Tao" as the highest belief, takes the belief in immortals as the core content, takes a variety of magical skills as the way of cultivation, and aims at achieving immortality, immortality and integration with Tao as the ultimate goal.

The meaning of three religions and nine streams

Three religions and nine streams describe all kinds of people and theoretical categories in society. Three religions refer to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
