This paper briefly describes the development of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism from the Three Kin

Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism gradually formed the unity of the three religions from the Han to the Tang Dynasty.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling took Laozi as the leader of the religion in Sichuan, took the Tao Te Ching as the main classic, and at the same time absorbed some primitive religious beliefs, witchcraft and fairy magic to establish Taoism. In B.C., foreign Indian Buddhism began to be introduced to the Han region, and in order to seek its own survival and development, Buddhism moved closer to Confucianism, which was dominant at that time, and attached itself to "Lao", "Zhuang" and metaphysics in philosophical thought.

During the Three Kingdoms period, a large number of Indian and Western monks came to China to engage in translating scriptures and preaching, which played an important role in promoting the widespread spread of Buddhism in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because Buddhism was believed in and valued by the emperor, Indian Buddhism was transformed to meet the needs of Chinese society, gradually took root in the people, and achieved important development, reached its peak in the Sui and Tang dynasties, formed many sects and schools of Chinese Buddhism with national characteristics, and spread to neighboring countries in China.

Buddhism absorbed a large number of Confucianism and Taoism ideas when establishing China's nationalized sects and theoretical systems. On the other hand, it engaged in controversy and even bloody struggle with Confucianism and Taoism that shook the whole country, and Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism formed a full momentum. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism was in decline due to frequent wars and social turmoil, and it was revived in the early Song Dynasty.

Historical development. The concept of the three religions.

"Three Religions" refers to the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism (Buddhism), and Taoism. The development of the concept of the three religions can be divided into several stages, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Liang is a stage, the Tang and Song dynasties are a stage, and the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are a stage. In the initial stage, although there were three teachings, they were independent of each other, and of course they all had an influence on each other, and the reason why Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism were on a par was that they focused on the complementarity of their social functions.

The intermediate stage is a transitional stage, mainly in the circulation and integration of each other's inner consciousness, gradually becoming you have me, I have you, but in terms of its mainstream, it is still different. It is only in the final stage that the unity of the three religions in the form of a true religion emerges.

Among them, the second stage is to add new content on the basis of continuing the complementary functions of the three religions in the first stage, and the third stage is also a new element of "three religions in one" that has evolved on the basis of the previous two stages, which also reflects the increasing trend of the convergence of the three religions.

Representative of the three religions in one.

The objective existence of the three religions in society is the basis for the emergence of the concept of the three religions, but the proposition of the concept of the three religions is the result of the development and change of social consciousness. However, the emergence and widespread acceptance of the concept of the three religions by the society was first expressed by Buddhism during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the term "three religions" was not included in people's treatises before the Three Kingdoms.

The first volume of the Guanghong Ming Collection contains the article "Wu Lord Sun Quan's Discussion on the Three Sects of Buddhism and Taoism", and also mentions the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. and "The Theory of Confusion in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, on the consistency of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism; These can be said to be the initial opinions of the three religions." Later, "the world of Liang Wu, the three religions are balanced", and the frequency of the word "three religions" in the literature has become higher and higher.

During the period of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism and Taoism were undoubtedly powerful social existences.

The above content ** encyclopedia - three teachings in one.

The policy of three religions in parallel.

The most important thing in Confucianism is one word: "Lun", that is, Lunchang. In feudal society, due to the different social status and class of people, everyone should settle in their place.

Confucianism believes that the world is a game of chess, God puts you in the **, what powers, duties, obligations are given to you, then you will abide by the responsibilities and rights that belong to you, you have to be happy to know your fate, this is actually the earliest "screw theory".

The core of Taoism is "life", which is not only the "life" of life, but also the "life" of cultivation It is the meaning of the whole as a living person rather than a machine, with such a "life" or life, you can be regarded as a worthwhile life, you have to cultivate a good life, a happy life, a healthy life, then it is worthwhile. Although Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is only 5,000 words, he is the most influential philosopher in the world. Every sentence of the Tao Te Ching is "royal jelly".

Lao Tzu may have three or five words enough for us for a lifetime. Now the most quoted "great wisdom and foolishness" is actually not the core view of Lao Tzu, its core is "know its male, guard its female, for the world's stream." For the world stream, Changde does not leave, and returns to the baby.

Knowing its whiteness, guarding its humiliation, is the valley of the world. For the valley of the world, Changde is enough, and it returns to Park. Knowing its whiteness and guarding its black is the world's style.

For the world's style, Changde is not distant, and it returns to Wuji".

Buddhism talks about "seeing nature". What is "sex"? It is the "nature of the mind", that is, self-cultivation.

Buddhism has seven words: "Seeing nature, saving the world, and understanding all things." Seeing your mind is called Vipassana and Inner Reflection, which means that you have to think of a searchlight to illuminate you, and you yourself must first be able to see what kind of person you are, which is a very objective cultivation method.

The practice of Buddhism basically has three steps, called "precepts, concentration, and wisdom". The precept is not to do something, not to lie, not to kill, not to do bad things, and so on. I must not be disturbed by all things, even if Mount Tai collapses, I will not be moved.

What about Hui? Starting from the precepts and concentration, wisdom will gradually be generated, which is the so-called "double cultivation of concentration and wisdom", and if you are uncertain, you will not be able to produce wisdom, and after you have wisdom, you can better enter the concentration. Buddhism is a very advanced classical philosophy, and Buddhism is a very strict form of religion, in this way, "Buddha" includes Buddhism, Buddhism, Buddhism three things, home, learning, teaching all three, the form is the most complete.

What are the main things in Buddhist Buddhism? It can be summed up in Qianlong's words, Qianlong wrote a note to the Five Pagoda Temple in Beijing, which said: "Tower, Biaoyi; warp, standard; Buddha, the emblematic body.

It means that the pagoda in the Buddhist temple represents the lofty and upward meaning of Buddhism; The Buddha statue represents the image of the Buddha and tells you what kind of person the Buddha is, while the Buddhist scriptures represent the mouth of the Buddha and tell you what he said The first two are external forms, and its essence lies in the "Sutra Standard", and the Buddhist scriptures (including the "Altar Sutra" of a great Chinese religious scholar Huineng) are the same as the Confucian "Four Books and Five Classics" or the Taoist "Tao Te Ching" and "Zhuangzi", which are great repositories of thought.

Taoism first, respect Lear! Wu Zetian, in order to seize power, took the Ganye Temple as the support, and respected the teachings. Confucianism, the best is the Song (Dao) and Ming, of which the Ming is the most.

Confucianism has always been the mainstream; Do not destroy Taoism, follow the rule of inaction, and rule by the people; Advocating Buddhism, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built as a place for translating scriptures.
