Who is higher in Confucianism and Taoism, and why does the official advocate Confucianism?

I think Confucianism should be higher, because Confucianism is more in line with the social reality of the time.

In my opinion, Taoism is a higher level of thought, Taoism emphasizes conforming to heaven and earth and nature, which is a very macro and broad thought, while Confucianism is mainly focused on politics and people's own development, no Taoism is more profound, and the official Confucianism is because Confucianism has a good effect on the character shaping of most people.

Because Taoism emphasizes that the law naturally advocates non-action, this kind of thinking is not suitable for rulers to govern society compared to Confucianism, and there are many rulers who are supporters of Confucianism, so they prefer Confucianism.

Officialdom is to govern the country. Governance requires a number of principles and standards, as well as practical and feasible programmatic measures. - Taoism, is there one?

When it comes to the debate between Taoism and Confucianism, we must start with their basic ideas, and then we can go deeper into the game between them.

Taoist thought, in fact, runs through classical classics such as Laozi, Analects, and Zhuangzi, which emphasizes a "natural" philosophical idea: the belief that the universe itself has always been in a state of dynamic equilibrium, and that human beings should also place themselves in it in order to maintain harmony with the universe.

Confucianism, on the other hand, is deeply rooted in the Analects, which emphasizes a philosophical idea of "etiquette": the belief that human beings should follow the etiquette of Qishou to manage and maintain social order, and obtain their own inner unity from high and frank suspicion.

From the above introduction, Taoism is based on the dynamic balance of the universe and emphasizes natural rather than man-made maintenance, while Confucianism emphasizes man-made maintenance and is based on etiquette. Therefore, their thinking on solving problems can be said to be different.

With all of this in mind, it seems to me that Taoist thought may be more conducive to the development of society, and it can better promote the development of society without destroying the harmony of the universe itself, so as to benefit people. Confucianism, on the other hand, may bring certain restrictions to the development of society, because it emphasizes human maintenance based on etiquette, which may cause certain limitations to social development.

Personal opinion: Taoism was born, and Confucianism entered the WTO.

Lao Tzu first expounded: the concept of "Tao", in short, the Tao is a very mysterious thing, and then described his own small country and widows, and ruled by inaction. Zhuang Zhou advocates a relativistic way of thinking and a strange outlook on life.

Taoism In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had an important influence on political governance, and the rulers were: inaction, no desire, and rest with the people. The Han Dynasty Taoist book Huainanzi was a mixture of Fa, Confucianism, Yin and Yang, and other thoughts, which made Taoist thought continue to develop.

This was the pinnacle of Taoist thought, which has since ceased to be the mainstream of Chinese thought.

Confucianism has been advocated by Emperor Wu since it became the mainstream political thought. Confucianism has achieved a good combination with China's primitive monarchy, patriarchal system, and small-scale peasant economy, and its mainstream status is unshakable. Confucius is:

Benevolence, courtesy, and virtue. Mencius lies in benevolence and goodness. After the Han Dynasty, Confucianism embarked on the road of external Confucianism and internal law, and Confucianism encountered crises of varying degrees in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Ben Dynasty, the late Tang Dynasty, and the late Ming Dynasty, but all of them were overcome to varying degrees.

Confucianism and Taoism have become a religion in a sense, Confucianism and Taoism. Taoism pursues the happiness of this world and the way of health preservation. Confucianism is ancestor worship, maintenance of patriarchal law, and self-cultivation of the Qi family.

The biggest difference between Confucianism and Taoism is that Confucianism emphasizes WTO accession and Taoism.

zhi stresses the need to be born. Confucianism talks about innateness.

Dao under the worries and worries, the road home to talk about picking chrysanthemums under the east fence leisurely answer to see Nanshan. The rise and fall of Confucianism is the responsibility of every man, and Taoism is insignificant in politics and eternal in art.

The founder of Confucianism is Confucius, and the main representatives are Mencius, Xunzi and so on. Emphasize benevolence and love, and serve the government with virtue Feng Qixiang. Pay great attention to etiquette, put etiquette in the first place, and respect the way of Confucius and Mencius.

Taoism emphasizes self-cultivation, Taoism is natural, inaction is the rule, beyond external objects, and has simple materialist thoughts.

Confucianism and Taoism complement each other, in an internal, hidden, and phenomenological sense, Confucianism and Taoism complementarity has a cultural connotation of the sexes; In an external, open, semiotic sense, Confucianism and Taoism complement each other and have an aesthetic function.

Lao Tzu and Confucius seem to be descendants of Yin Shang. The difference is that Lao Tzu is a pure high-level intellectual, a non-descendant of the Shang family. Although Confucius's blood status is also far away from the lineage, it is also relatively close to Laozi.

This distinction led to Lao Tzu's position of being completely civilian and heroic, while Confucius, who was born a supporter of the blood power system.

This distinction made them also move towards a completely opposite political position after they also studied the comprehensive knowledge system of the Zhou Dynasty: Lao Tzu clearly opposed the expansionary power and supported the conservative power, according to today's words, it is to demarcate the boundaries of power and carry out politics based on "small **". Confucius, on the other hand, was a staunch supporter of the blood power system, opposing any ultimate power change and defending the blood power system of the royal family (and later the "imperial family").

Lao Tzu believes that the essence of power comes from the people's positive feedback on the prince's "desireless virtue", and is the result of acquired efforts. Confucius, on the other hand, insisted that power is determined by blood (Dong Zhongshu's theocracy, which is essentially a variant of the theory of blood power), is inherited by nature and is immutable.

This is the true nature of the opposition between Lao Tzu and Confucius, and it is also the Buddha in troubled times, Confucianism in the world, and the academic root of Taoism to remove chaos anyway. Although the peaceful and prosperous era was beautiful, it inevitably led to the privatization of public power families, the separation of nobles and commoners, and finally led to the restructuring of power in the form of war. When the old kinship system was shattered by the war, the new power holders could not construct their own power system according to the bloodline theory, and even if they had any connection with the old system, it was difficult to integrate into the classic Confucian routines.

1. The influence of Taoist thought.

1. Taoism advocates that we should conform to the law of development, respect the natural attributes of all living things in nature, and let them develop naturally, without artificial transformation and interference.

The modern concept of sustainable development is an extension of the Taoist idea of respecting nature, a kind of concretization, and the materialization of the Taoist idea of nature. The idea of contemporary sustainable development is put forward to coordinate the relationship between man and nature, advocating that people love nature more and return to nature, and hope that man and nature will develop together in a harmonious environment.

2. Taoism is not completely opposed to self-interest, but advocates moderation.

This kind of Taoist thought has very important guiding significance for solving life problems and forming a correct outlook on life in modern times. People want to satisfy their desires in order to seek happiness and happiness. But they try to satisfy too many desires, and they get the opposite result.

This view is still very popular in today's society.

2. The influence of Confucianism.

1. Confucian moral ethics is an important part of the Confucian system, which has a far-reaching impact on the formation and development of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation.

"Filial piety" is one of the important contents and characteristics of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and it is also the basic behavioral norm and important moral category in Confucian ethical thought. In the Confucian moral system, filial piety is the beginning and foundation of benevolence. Many Confucian expositions on "filial piety" are the precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation, which has been carried forward and passed down from generation to generation in today's society.

The idea of "education without class" can be said to be the earliest idea of equal education. This kind of thinking should be of reference significance for solving the problem of disconnection between school education and social needs today.

In short, the differences and complementarities of Taoist philosophies of life, which are very different and complementary, will always shine in the brilliant cultural starry sky of traditional Chinese philosophy with its breadth and profundity, and will also influence the present and future generations.

1. Confucianism believes that human nature is inherently good or that life is inherently evil, but Taoism believes that nature is natural and does not care about good and evil (so there is no need to educate).

2. Confucianism advocates education to promote sages; Taoism advocates self-transformation, so it believes that the sage is immortal, and the thief is more than 3, Confucianism advocates benevolence, that is, concentrating power to do good things for the people, and Taoism advocates the rule of inaction, believing that benevolence is to choose hair to comb and count rice grains to cook, which often goes to its opposite.

4. The Taoist Huang Lao School is also used by the world, they advocate governing the country according to the law of Taoism, and believe that the world can be governed by laws that conform to the people's feelings and public opinions, which is in stark contrast to the Confucian rule of etiquette, and also in sharp contrast to the Legalist "law comes from the king" (Huang Lao Taoist advocates the law of Taoism).

The main purpose of Taoism is to yearn for freedom and a quiet life, to get the detachment of the soul, and Confucianism since Confucius emphasized benevolence and righteousness

Taoism is about the way of heaven, Confucianism is about humanity, to put it simply, the way of heaven is like natural science, and humanity is like social science.

Taoism emphasizes the understanding of external things by internal causes, and Confucianism emphasizes the reaction of internal factors to external things.

It is generally believed that Confucianism and Taoism are mutually indispensable, and jointly construct the national character of the Chinese nation.

If it is said that Confucianism's efforts are a process of starting from scratch and from simplicity to complexity, what it pursues is the realm of "beauty in fullness" and "not pure enough to be beautiful"; Then the efforts of Taoism are a kind of process of simplifying and masking the clear, and its pursuit is the realm of "great sound and hope, invisible elephants" and "simplicity and the world can not compete with beauty".

Upstairs, you're copying someone else. Taoism advocates nature, while Confucianism emphasizes propriety and benevolence.

Taoism emphasizes the rule of non-action and follows the laws of nature; Confucianism emphasizes the use of propriety to bind people.
