The mountain forest culture in the history of China is another reason for the formation of China's landscape culture. Mountain forest culture can also be called seclusion culture and leisure culture, which is relative to temple culture and Taoist culture.

Generally speaking, Confucian culture belongs to temple culture and Taoist culture belongs to mountain forest culture. They are incompatible in thinking system, but they are complementary. Confucianism advocates active accession to the WTO, and Confucian scholars "generously take the world as their responsibility."

However, Confucianism advocates that "scholars take Tao as their purpose", and The Analects of Confucius says: "State-owned Tao is an official, but without Tao, it can be rolled up." "If there is a way in the world, you can see it. If there is no way, you can hide it." Therefore, in the Confucian philosophy of life, there is another saying: "If you are rich, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be immune."
