Do you know what kind of philosophies there are in China? Well, there are Confucianism, .
All three of them have a different point of view from the other, and some of them have some things in common. For example all three religions don't have a god, and Buddhism has a lot more rituals and prayers then the other two. So they all have there different qualities and uniqueness.
First of all, Confucianism is very different, and a unique religion. The man that came up.
.
with this religion is named Confucius. He was born in 550 BC. He based Confucianism on .
morality and virtue. Also, learning and getting a good education was very important to Confucius. .
He said at one point in time that to learn without thinking is a waste of time. However, thought .
without learning is dangerous. Confucius was a teacher. Being a teacher he taught .
mainly about the five virtues. Li is the most important virtue. Ren stands for kindness that you .
should treat others with. Xin stands for faithfulness. Yi stands for righteousness and honesty. .
The last virtue is Zhi. Zhi stands for knowledge about right and wrong. Confucius is one of the .
most well known persons in China for his noble work. .
Next up is Doasim. Doasim is not very popular except for in China. The symbol that .
represents Daoism and what it means is YinYang. YinYang is basically that one cannot live .
without the other. For example, Yin is usually associated with earth, darkness, water, even .
numbers and the female. Yang is associated with light, heaven, air, odd numbers and the male. .
Without one the other would not exist, but when the two are in harmony with each other they are .
seen as the halves of a circle, one represented as light and the other as dark. The small circle .
within each half represents the part of the opposite force that is always present in the other. The .
point of all of this is that you need to have a little of both or you won't have either!.
