Three major religions or philosophies shaped many of the ideas and history of Ancient China. They are called the three ways and include Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Legalism.
Taoism
Taoism was founded during the Zhou Dynasty in the 6th century by Lao-Tzu. Lao-Tzu wrote down his beliefs and philosophy in a book called the Tao Te Ching.
Taoism believes that people should be one with nature and that all living things have a universal force flowing through them. Taoists didn't believe in a lot of rules or government. In this way they were very different from the followers of Confucius.
The idea of Yin and Yang comes from Taoism. They believed that everything in nature has two balancing forces called Yin and Yang. These forces can be thought of as dark and light, cold and hot, male and female. These opposing forces are always equal and balanced.
Confucianism
Not long after Lao-Tzu founded Taoism, Confucius was born in 551 BC. Confucius was a philosopher and thinker. Confucius came up with ways that people should behave and live. He didn't write these down, but his followers did.
Confucius' teachings focus on treating others with respect, politeness, and fairness. He thought that honor and morality were important qualities. He also said that family was important and honoring one's relatives was required. Unlike Taoists, followers of Confucius believed in a strong organized government.

Buddhism
Buddhism was based on the teachings of Buddha. Buddha was born in Nepal, just south of China, in 563 BC. Buddhism spread throughout much of India and China. Buddhists believe in a "rebirth" of the self. They also believe that the cycle of rebirth is complete once a person lives a proper life. At this point the person's soul would enter nirvana.
Legalism
Idea of Legalism: Punishment for bad behavior and a reward for good behavior. Legalists believe the people of
China should work to serve the government and the emperor Shi Huangdi demands ALL BOOKS BE BURNED except books on Medicine, Technology, and Farming. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!

What would happen to industrialized nations’ economies if they did not expand their reach abroad?
Nikolay [14]
Well that would likely hinder the trade for such nation, like China. China has a TON of industry, and what would happen of it couldn't reach outside its borders? The economy would plummet! It would weaken every aspect of the nation.
