The Three Teachings

 

 

In T'ang times, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism became known as the Three Doctrines, or the "Three Teachings"

In T'ang times, a man might honor his ancestors by following the rigid rules of social behavior as dictated by Confucianism, attend a Buddhist pageant, and practice Taoist breathing exercises, all in the same day. 

These three doctrines were an important part of daily life.
