Why did Confucianism fail to develop into a religion among the three religions in Chinese culture?

Religion is all about solving the problem of life and death, while Confucianism's view of life and death is only: unknown life, safe and knowing death, and the view of ghosts and gods is: respect and stay away. So it didn't develop into a religion.

First of all, we must understand what Confucianism is: Confucianism, also known as Confucianism.

It is a school that worships the doctrine of Confucius, and advocates the golden mean with benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. It advocates the rule of virtue and benevolence, and attaches importance to ethical relations.

Divination is a cultural phenomenon that has emerged from the development of human society to a certain historical stage, and it belongs to social ideology. The main characteristic is the belief in mysterious forces or entities beyond nature beyond the world.

The mystical ruler Kai with Sui has all things. It is not a characteristic of fierce materialism.

Therefore, it cannot be called a Chinese education.

The main reason is that the people served are different, religion serves the people and relies on the strength of the people to survive. Confucianism served the emperor and relied on the power of ** to survive.

Religion needs to be organized and disciplined to survive, and Confucianism can survive through the ages by relying on political power. Therefore, Confucianism does not need strict canons and dogmas to control the believers, as long as there is a political need, we are not afraid that there will be no "believers", the whole world is the ruler's people, and the ruler needs to unify his thinking in order to better rule his people, so Confucianism can also develop very well. Confucianism did not need a religious model to survive, so it did not eventually become a religion.

The core of ideology is "benevolence", attaches importance to "courtesy", and advocates governing the country with virtue. Later, it was sublimated and transformed by Mencius in the Warring States Period and Dong Zhongshu in the Western Han Dynasty, and Confucianism became the mainstream thought of ancient society in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, it was further developed into Cheng Zhu Lixue and Lu Wang Xinxue.

Confucianism has made great contributions to the construction of moral civilization in society.

Strictly speaking, this is an academic statement: 1. Confucianism was founded by the Fuxi king [Feng Hao], Confucianism was founded by the ancestor Confucius [Kong Zhongniqiu], and Confucianism was founded by the sage [Dong Zhongshu].

Because Confucianism is a kind of faith, the two are related to the support of Confucianism, and Confucianism is divided into: Wu, Shi, Zhu, Bu, and Confucianism, all of which are called Confucian scholars.

Confucianism is the oldest indigenous religion in China. It is a polytheistic original religious form that worships the god of Haotian.

Confucianism is a belief, Confucianism is a doctrine, and the connection between the two is supported by Confucianism, which is divided into Confucianism and Confucianism;

The atmosphere of Confucianism is too small, Confucianism mainly worships ancient sages such as Haotian God and the Five Clans, and Confucianism mainly admires the doctrines of Confucius and his disciples and successors.

Because Confucianism is an ideology, and to become a religion requires a series of systems.

Because the Confucian way has always emphasized education, "teaching" means education in the early Confucian classics.

But look at the influence of the three major religions and the number of adherents.

This is the reason for existence, Confucianism is a kind of knowledge, a kind of faith, not a religion.

Because Confucianism is the most influential religion, it is very powerful, and it conveys a lot of things to people, which is most conducive to the development of society.

Because Confucianism comes from Confucianism, and Confucianism is a study that was respected by the emperors of various dynasties, Confucianism is designated as the first of the three religions.

Because the ideas of Confucianism are very applicable to the ruling needs of ancient feudal society, Confucianism is the first of the three religions in ancient China.

In ancient China, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were the first, because the mainstream thought in ancient China was Confucian culture, and the rulers needed Confucianism to consolidate their rule and educate the people for themselves, so Confucian culture was more and more sought after by the world, and eventually became the first of the three religions.
