The ancient Chinese religion of Taoism is not entirely distinct from Confucianism or Chinese folk religion, for all Chinese religion and philosophy operate within the same ancient worldview.
Since earliest times, Chinese thought has been characterized by an awareness of man's close relationship with nature and the universe, a cyclical view of time and the universe, veneration or worship of ancestors, the idea of Heaven, and belief in the divinity of the sovereign.
Both Confucianism and Taoism operate within this worldview and incorporate many of its concepts. These two organized belief systems are best viewed as complementary rather than competitive. While Confucianism concerns itself with the social and moral side of life, Taoism focuses on the individual, spiritual life.

d rainforest biome.
Explanation:
The attributes described in this problem completely describes a rainforest biome. It is the most biodiverse in terms of fauna and flora.
Rainforest biomes are usually found around the equator. Most of the world rainforest is in Brazil.
- Rainforests are made up of green lush vegetation and they receive over 80inches of rainfall for almost all the year round.
- Convectional precipitation is common here.
- There is an abundance of diversity here and some of the most elusive organisms in nature are usually found here.
A tundra biome is a cold biome with little to no rainfall, sunshine and most part remains frozen all year round.
A desert biome is one with little rainfall with a huge difference between the night time and day time temperature.
Temperate biomes straddles the rainforest and poles.
