The historian Mr. Qian Mu has his own unique opinion, he believes that all religions in the world seem to want to solve the problem of life according to the problem of human death, and Confucius believes that only by understanding the problem of life can the problem of human death be answered, that is"Unknown life, unknown death".All religions in the world exalt serving ghosts and gods above serving people, and Confucius believed that you must first know how to serve people before you can talk about serving ghosts, that is"If you can't help people, you can do ghosts"？
This attitude prevented Confucius from becoming a religious master, and also made it impossible for Chinese intellectual history to follow the path of religion in the future.
As for the Taoist Zhuangzi and Laozi, although they are biased towards the spiritual universe, they are the same as Confucian Confucius and Mencius as the best philosophy of life, and the same is an ideological doctrine, but one belongs to the moral life of positive entry into the WTO, and the other belongs to the artistic life of negative birth, and has no religious implications, both of which have had a huge impact on later generations.
When the Chinese ideological circles are positive, they talk about moral life, and they all advocate Confucianism, Mencius, and Confucianism. In the case of a negative decline, he turned to artistic life, biased towards Zhuang Lao Taoist.
No religion is not the same as no faith. In today's society, Confucianism or Taoism is still people's consciously or unconscious philosophy of life, involution and lying flat, can find the shadow from Confucianism and Taoism, both are a choice, all from tradition.
