The founder of Confucianism is "Confucius" who was a minor official and philosopher who lived during the Warring-States period. Confucius and his followers shared a primary goal: to create nobility through proper education, belief in the idea of heaven, and live an ethical life. These lessons of life should be emphasized rather than spiritual life. He and his followers also believed in the 5 key relationships of Confucianism, which was divided into superior and subordinate of the relationship. They were: Ruler and subject, husband and wife, parent and child, sibling to sibling, and friend to friend. Here, friend is in both the superior and subordinate because Confucianists wanted other friends to respect their friends. The key concept of the Confucianism is called Ren and Li. Ren is the goodness, benevolence, and love, which would be the moral part of the confucianism. While Li is the ritual, proper conduct, and propriety part of the Confucianism. The Li part of the Confucianism would also include ancient worshiping. .
Taoism.
The founder of Taoism was a man named "Laozi". Taoism was one of many ancient philosophies and religious beliefs that had rooted in Chinese customs and universal views. Taoism originated in China more than 2000 years ago, and it can be translated as "the way". The "Tao" is the ultimate creative principle of the universe and all things are unified and connected through it. What makes Taoism very significant is the fact that there is no god, but instead deities who are worshipped. Taoism also promotes achieving harmony with nature, the pursuit of spiritual immortality, virtuousness, and self-development. Taoists practiced meditation, Feng Shui, fortune telling, reading and chanting of scripture. Even though the main concept of Taoism was on the Yin and Yang, Taoism also states that the world is full of complementary forces, action and nonaction, light and dark, hot and cold, water and fire, and good and evil.
