The Changes of China's Traditional Mainstream Thoughts in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and the Late Qing Dynasty

Eastern Han Dynasty: Buddhism and Taoism became the governing idea of some emperors. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the idea of "ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" has been shaken, and Buddhism and Taoism have a great influence. Song Dynasty: Cheng Yi absorbed some Buddhist practice methods and thoughts, and Neo-Confucianism, which was co-founded with other thinkers, gradually became the mainstream thought of China. Late Qing Dynasty: Some officials' educational thoughts were influenced by western learning, which had a great influence on middle schools, but Confucianism still dominated.
