As one of the world’s oldest civilizations, China is proud of its many people, long and rich history, resplendent and unique culture. The area in which the culture is dominant covers a large geographical region in eastern Asia with customs and traditions varying greatly between provinces, cities, and even towns. Since the ancient times, China has been a multi-religion country. It is well known that Confucianism is an ethical and philosophical system, developed from Confucius thoughts and treated as a belief to educate common people and eventually became an indigenous religion and the soul of Chinese culture. It did not develop into a national belief but it makes the culture more tolerable to other religions that have been brought into the country in different dynasty even though it is popular among people and the guiding ideology for feudalism society. One of the religions that have been brought in is Taoism. Most of the people practice Taoism as it could be seen in their daily life as Taoism is inclined to simplicity in all things. People beliefs and feelings adapt to each season as they become one with nature, acting in synchronization with everything on earth, and appreciating human relationships.
