Another Exploration on the Concourse of Confucianism,Legalism and Taoism

Through the history of China,Taoism took force in Qin Dynasty,Confucianism dominated the ideology in Han,while the situation of one single controller in thought was essentially never formed in the Chinese culture.Instead,the fact is that Confucianism,Legalism and had merged into one stream without being realized obviously.It's been agreed that the general cultural structure always runs as: Public Confucianism and Secret Legalism, External Confucianism and Internal Taoism and Complement between Confucianism and Taoism.What's more,it requires asking why Confucianism stood out and the other three just work as a complement.Based on the analysis of Confucianism,Legalism and Taoism,this paper evaluates that the three stand at the same essence.The domination of Confucianism was caused originally for actively adapting to the peasant society and institutionalizing the thought.
