Detailed explanation-1: -Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism were the three main philosophies and religions of ancient China, which have individually and collectively influenced ancient and modern Chinese society.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following statements is the best definition of the Chinese philosophy known as Legalism?-Legalists believed that social harmony could be created and maintained by clearly spelling out laws and enforcing them strictly with rewards and punishments.
Detailed explanation-3: -Confucianism and Legalism both required strict adherence to principles, whether they were enforcement-based Legalist ones or shame-based Confucian ones. Daoism, in contrast, recognizes no law but the Dao, or the Way.
Detailed explanation-4: -Daoism advocated that the individual should follow a mysterious force, called The Way (dao), of the universe, and that all things were one. Legalism held that humans were inherently bad and needed to be kept in line by a strong state. According to Legalism, the state was far more important than the individual.
