In previous videos, we've talked about some of the major schools of thought that emerged at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, especially as we start to enter the Warring States period, the famous Hundred Schools of Thought and most prominent amongst them is Confucianism, started or based on the teachings of Confucius, who lived around 2,500 years ago, and it was all about how does a society live in harmony. Confucianism is based on a lot of teachings that were already part of Chinese culture and Confucius, one could say put them together, but put them together in a contextual way and made them more relevant. And you can see on this diagram, Confucianism was really focused on the ethical, but Confucius himself tried to apply some of his teachings into the more practical realm. Now out of that Hundred Schools of Thought, you also have Taoism that we talk about in other videos. Now Taoism is really based on this idea of the Tao or the way and we could do many videos on Taoism, but it's this idea of letting go and you could even think of it as going with the flow and a simplicity, a return to nature, freeing yourself from desires. And it was definitely more philosophical and more focused on the spiritual than Confucianism. Now in other videos we talk about legalism, which was a key part of the Qin Dynasty, which was the first real imperial dynasty.
