Through the centuries, China adopted several philosophies into its
             culture. Three of these philosophies are Confucianism, Daoism, and the
             Legalist philosophy of ancient China.
             Daoism is an organized religious tradition that has been continuously
             developing and transforming itself through China, Korea, and Japan for over
             two thousand years (Miller pp). Daoism has no single founder, such as
             Jesus or the Buddha, and does not have a single key message, rather "Daoism
             bears witness to a history of continuous self-invention within a vast
             diversity of environmental contexts" (Miller pp). The human experience of

             (Confucianism pp). Kung Fu Tzu, or Confucius, lived in the middle of the
             sixth century BC. and is one of the most important figures of this time
             (One pp). Confucius' policy was to accept anyone as a disciple if the
             student was genuinely eager to learn, a revolutionary idea in a society in
             which education was the exclusive privilege of the aristocracy (Confucius
             pp). He is one of the first Chinese philosophers to leave behind a
             collection of teachings that can be reliably ascribed to his authorship,
             the Lun yu, or Analects (Confucius pp). Confucius believed that as the
             ruler remained benevolent, the government will naturally work toward the
             good of the people (Confucius pp). A Confuci...
