Introduction to the Three Religions and Nine Streams:
The Three Religions and Nine Streams usually refer to various figures in society and various categories of doctrines.
The three religions refer to Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Since Buddhism was only introduced to China during the Han and Ming Dynasties, Buddhism was not included in the early "Three Religions". It is said that the ancestor Hongjun passed down the Three Friends together, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun founded the "Chanjiao", the Tongtian leader established the "Jiejiao", and the three human emperors ruled the world, called "Human Taoism", so they are called the "Three Religions".
The "Nine Streams" refer to Confucianism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, Legalism, Mingjia, Mohism, Politicians, Miscellaneous Schools, and Farmers.
