Did you ever wonder about what's happening in China's endless struggle with religion? This slideshow examines the current plight of religion in China.
Taoism presentation
The history of Taoism stretches throughout Chinese history, originating in prehistoric China and exerting influence over Chinese culture through changing times. A key text was written by Lao Tse in 600 BC laying out Taoist topics. Taoism seeks to harmonize with the Tao, or natural flow of the universe, through concepts like wuwei (non-action) and developing virtues like compassion and humility. Taoism has provided alternative traditions to Confucianism in China and influenced practices like fortune-telling, martial arts, and meditation.
Confucianism, buddhism, daoism
Neo-Confucianism emerged in China during the Tang and Song Dynasties as a combination of Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist ideals. Most Chinese today follow Confucian principles publicly, embrace Daoist spirituality privately, and turn to Buddhism for guidance late in life and near death. Buddhism teaches that life involves suffering caused by desire, and the path to end suffering is to overcome desire through following the Eightfold Path of moderate living, correct thought and action, prayer, and meditation - which can lead one to better reincarnation or ultimate nirvana by escaping the cycle of reincarnation.
Taoism
Taoism is a philosophical and religious tradition that emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao. The Tao Te Ching and the writings of Zhuangzi form the philosophical foundation of Taoism. Taoist ethics include concepts like wu-wei (non-action), naturalness, and three basic virtues. Taoist cosmology is based on the School of Naturalists and sees the universe in a constant process of re-creation from qi. Key symbols include the Taijitu symbol of yin and yang, the eight trigrams of the Ba gua, and the Big Dipper constellation.

Confucianism
Confucianism originated in China around 2,500 years ago and was founded by Confucius. It emphasizes virtues, propriety, and the importance of education and self-cultivation. Confucianism spread widely in East Asia through civil service exams in China and the establishment of Confucian academies. While it declined under communist rule, Confucian philosophy still strongly influences cultures in China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam and other Asian countries today.
Confucianism and Taoism
Confucianism and Taoism were two major philosophies that originated in ancient China. Confucianism was founded by Confucius, who lived from 551-479 BC and sought to restore social order through strong family loyalty, respect of elders, and self-cultivation. Taoism was based on the teachings of Laozi and emphasized achieving balance, harmony with nature, and non-action. Both philosophies influenced Chinese thought, though Confucianism focused more on social relationships and Taoism promoted simplicity and preserving one's energy.
China's Culture
The document provides an overview of Chinese culture, including:
1. China has over 1.4 billion people from 56 ethnic groups, with the largest being the Han people who live in eastern China.

Confucianism
Confucianism is an ethical and philosophical system developed from the teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius. It originated as an "ethical-sociopolitical teaching" and has been followed in China for over two millennia, influencing spiritual and political life. The core values of Confucianism include harmony, humanity, cleanliness, and honesty. Confucianism's founder was Kong Qiu, known as Confucius, who was a teacher in China in the 6th-5th century BCE. Sacred texts include the Analects of Confucius and the Five Classics. Confucianism has also influenced and blended with other Chinese religions like Daoism and Buddhism.
Taoism
Taoism originated in China as a combination of philosophy and psychology attributed to Lao-Tse in the 6th century BCE. It views the universe as constantly recreating itself through the balance of opposing but complementary forces called yin and yang. With over 20 million followers today, Taoism teaches that finding perfection, balance and harmony comes from living according to natural principles like wu-wei or non-action. It was adopted as a state religion in 440 CE but faced periods of suppression after the Communist victory in 1949 and during the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976.

Chinese medicine has been practiced in China since the 3rd century and focuses on balancing Yin and Yang energies as well as the body and mind. Some key components of traditional Chinese medicine include acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal remedies, massage, qi gong, tai chi, and meditation. Acupuncture involves thin needles inserted at meridian points to stimulate the flow of qi, while moxibustion uses burnt moxa placed on points to strengthen blood and qi flow. Herbs are also vital for boosting qi and balancing Yin and Yang.
Daoism
Daoism was a Chinese philosophy that encouraged freedom of thought and living in harmony with nature. It stressed that individuals should be free from government interference and live according to their natural impulses. The key principles of Daoism included flowing with the natural way of the universe like water, practicing virtue with integrity, acting without effort, and embracing simplicity.

Confucianism is an ancient Chinese philosophical system originally developed from the teachings of Confucius. It focuses on principles like rites, humanity, reciprocity and righteousness. In the 21st century, Confucianism remains relevant through influences like the Korean Wave spreading Asian culture and its emphasis on moral lessons about human relationships.
