Abstract

The philosophical spirits of Confucian School and of Taoist School have different approaches butequally satisfactory results. Confucian school understands man and his nature from the viewpoint of naturebeing the spirit showing emotions, reaches the wisdom of personality as a with the realization ofnature of REN as premise, realizes, proves and publishes metaphysical entity that transcends moralitythrough the moral road of life realization. Taoist school comments on Tao from humanism and culturecriticism. Humanistically, Tao's real nature is indefinable; subjectively, man observes mysterious differencelessness in a state of difference. Theory about Tao emphasizes bursting out of the whole and evidence inthe practice and experience of Tao. The difference between Confucian and Taoist schools lies in the way oflearning, not in metaphysical realm. The historical theory that Confucian school and Taoist school came from the same origin is not groundless.
