The answer to this question is subjective and dependent on personal values and beliefs. Legalism emphasizes strict laws and order, while Daoism promotes harmony with nature and a more relaxed approach to governance. Some individuals may prefer the structure and control of Legalism, while others may find contentment and happiness in the simplicity and naturalness of Daoism. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to determine which philosophy aligns better with their own values and ideals.

What religion did the mongols practice?
A:Genghis Khan rose to power supported by the chief of the Kerais tribe, centred in the Karakorum region of present-day Mongolia. He took as a wife a princess of the Kerais, who had been Christian since at least the early eleventh century. Other Mongol tribes were.also Christian or predominantly Christian. Thus, when Genghis Khan unified the Mongol tribes and burst out of Mongolia to conquer much of the world, a good proportion of his army was Christian, including many of his commanders. It was Mongol policy to build on local traditions once they had subjugated an area, so by the end of the thirteenth century and the beginning of the fourteenth, the Mongol empires had converted to Islam, although not in China. Buddhism was eventually to return to Mongolia from China.In 1295 Mahmud Ghazan persecuted Christianity and Buddhism, and his successors followed his policies. Particularly severe was Ghazan's brother and heir, Oljeitu (1304-16). Originally baptised a Christian under the name Nicholas, he now became a fervent Muslim, taking the name Muhammad.
What was the worlds greatest civilization?
The greatest civilization of all time would be Babylon because in 5000 B.C. they had already discovered the concept of astronomy, mathematics etc. The greatest civilization however is not the Babylonian one. Although the Babylonian Civilization was great, it did not surpass the civilization of China. The Chinese Civilization was great in philosophy, art, war, tactics, government, and had great significant technilogical advances. Kung Fu-Tse (Latin as Confucius) and Loa Tse were famous teachers who developed many ritualistic and religious concepts such as Confucianism and Daosim. The Chinese also invented the book called "art of war," other poetry, and developed many technological products such as: kites, fireworks, gun powder, eathquake detector, and alchemy...which later is developed into chemistry. Chinese also had large influences on people's moral behavior. the Chinese also began earlier than the Babylonian and lasted for more than 4000 years in time, expanding power and influence. The Babylonians were mere ants to the might CHinese. Also i would include The British civilization, they created the worlds greatest and largest empire and started the first industrial revolution, like it or not Britain shaped a lot of the world today, for example two of the world G8 nations the United States and Canada were formed from British and other Europeans colonial advancements and formed an economic system that countries rely on today and forms the foundation of the world, London the capital became a city of great technology and many people were willing to die for King and country to live in its memory economic growth and industrial prowess excelled because of Britain and between 1600 and 1910 saw a area of undefeatable economic and military expansion until WW1 and WW2 saw much hardship for Europe in which afterwards Britain were forced to give up it lands, afterwards came 60 years of competitiveness between the USA and the USSR for the place of the Worlds greatest country and this lead to the cold war and clashes in the space race. Just like the Romans and the Greeks thousands of years before Britain affected the world in a way that cannot be reversed.

Why daoism got started?
DAOISM I. Daoism Defined Daoism is a Chinese philosophical and religious system, dating from the 6th century B.C. (More of a mystical philosophy than a religion.) II. History of Daoism A. Daoism begins with Lao Tzu (Laozi) who lived in the 6th century B.C. 1. He was looking for a way to avoid the constant feudal warfare of his day that disrupted society. 2. Lao Tzu allegedly wrote the Tao Te Ching (“The Way and Its Power”). It explains essential Daoist beliefs. B. Daoism started as a combination of philosophy and psychology but evolved into a religious faith around A.D. 440. At this time Lao Tzu became venerated as a deity. C. Along with Buddhism and Confucianism, Daoism became one of the three great religions of China. D. With the end of the Ch'ing Dynasty in 1911, state support for Daoism ended. E. The Daoist heritage was destroyed during the next period of warlordism. 1. After the Communist victory in 1949, religious freedom was severely restricted. 2. The government put monks to work, confiscated temples, and plundered treasures. 3. Several million monks were reduced to fewer than 50,000 by 1960. 4. During the cultural revolution in China from 1966 to 1976, much of the Daoist heritage was destroyed. 5. Some religious tolerance has been restored under Deng Xiao-ping from 1982 to the present time. F. Daoism currently has about 20 million followers, and is primarily centered in Taiwan. G. About 30,000 Daoists live in North America; 1,720 in Canada (1991 census). H. Daoism has had a significant impact on North American culture in the areas of acupuncture, herbalism, holistic medicine, meditation and martial arts. I. Among the native Chinese, the influence of Daoism has been second only to that of Confucianism. III. Worldview of Daoism A. Absolute—the Dao 1. The Dao is the mysterious, cosmic power present in all experiences. The Dao is found everywhere—the rocks, trees, seas, etc. Everything is alive with the spirit of Dao. 2. The Dao is impersonal, an invisible way that the universe follows, a harmony of tensions between opposites. 3. The Dao is a natural force that makes the universe the way it is. 4. Dao means “way” or “path” in English. 5. Dao is not influenced by prayer, hymns or rituals. 6. Humans can seek Dao, but Dao does not reveal itself. 7. Dao cannot be described with words or conceived in thought. 8. Humans who died became ancestors who were worshiped as gods. 9. "We believe in the formless and eternal Tao, and we recognize all personified deities as being mere human constructs. We reject hatred, intolerance, and unnecessary violence, and embrace harmony, love and learning, as we are taught by Nature. We place our trust and our lives in the Tao, that we may live in peace and balance with the Universe, both in this mortal life and beyond" (Creed of the Western Reform Taoist Congregation). 10. It is probably best to refer to Daoism and non-theistic or pan-theistic. B. The World 1. The Universe is neither good nor evil; it is beyond good and evil—it just is. 2. Trying to conquer nature or improve it is futile. 3. Daoism disagrees with Hinduism’s and Buddhism’s view that the world is an illusion. C. Humans 1. Humans are divine in nature since they participate in the Dao. 2. Humans are essentially good and can enjoy a good life in the world. 3. Old age viewed as sign of wisdom. 4. People should not be forced into education, rituals, or organizations. 5. Humans are best when they remain weak and simple. D. Problem for Humans 1. Problem is disharmony with the universe. 2. People get into trouble when they depart from the simple, natural way of the universe. 3. Suffering comes from: a) Trying to conquer nature b) Establishing artificial human organizations. 4. These things entice humans away from peace and harmony. E. Solution for Humans 1. Solution is returning to a simple life. 2. Living in harmony with nature in a forest or small village is best. 3. A long life is the reward for those who live in harmony with the Dao. 4. Contemplation of nature is important. 5. Inaction is the secret of a good life. 6. “Live and let live” is best guide to conduct. 7. By doing nothing, humans have a positive influence on society. 8. Wuwei --accomplishing tasks without assertion or aggression. F. Community and ethics 1. Daoism scorns social institutions. 2. Education corrupts natural goodness of humans. 3. The less government the better. 4. Violence should always be avoided. G. Life after death 1. Daoists often focus on harmony with the Dao in this life not what happens in the next life. 2. Some Daoists deny an afterlife or are agnostic about it. 3. Those who follow more religious aspects of Daoism sometimes believe that the soul of a person can go to a heaven or a hell. 4. “Taoists do not believe in the "Wheel of Life" as Buddhists do, nor do they believe in the Christian idea of Heaven and Hell. Taoists view existence in itself as glorious, and the universe marvelous. They believe strongly that everything on earth has its own ‘vibrant unity’ and energy. Man does not simply die, but is rather reborn into other forms and activities. ‘The end’ of a person is simply a return to what Taoists refer to as the ‘Ultimate Reality’” (http://www.angelfire.com/punk5/ religions_proj1/afterlife.html). H. Rituals and Symbols 1. Rituals not needed. 2. The symbol of the Dao is the Yin and Yang—opposite and complementary forces in Chinese thought, from Chinese words meaning “shaded” and “sunny.” a) Beginning in the early 4th century BC Chinese philosophers wrote about yin and yang in terms of the environment, especially the shaded and sunny sides of a hill. By the end of that century yin became associated with everything dark, moist, receptive, earthy, and female, whereas yang was bright, dry, active, heavenly, and male. Yin and yang were believed to combine in various proportions to produce all the different objects in the universe. b) There is always an element of yang within yin and an element of yin within yang. Together they are symbolized by a circle divided into black and white sections, with a dot of white in the black portion and a dot of black in the white portion. This interaction indicates that the characteristics of yin cannot exist without those of yang, nor the characteristics of yang without yin. Chinese philosophers stressed the importance of balance between the two to ensure social and political harmony. c) Rebellion, floods, and disease were said to be caused by an imbalance of yin and yang. Fortune-tellers and doctors in China and later in Japan advised governments and individuals on ways to restore harmony in relationship to yin and yang. d) Yin—Dark, female e) Yang—light, male f) Yin and Yang are identical aspects of the same reality. 3. Feng Shui – literally means “wind and water.” A feng shui expert advises on how to get the best results in a home or office by establishing the most advantageous use of space and furnishings. 4. Rites of Passage a) Exorcism: “Taoists believe that many sicknesses and behavior disorders are caused by demons, or kuei. Because the gods are much more powerful than the demons, a Taoist priest is needed in order to perform the exorcism. Normally, the priest will write out a charm in the name of a powerful god. The priest will read the charm outloud and then burn it so that the message will reach far into the heavens. If the demon is a stronger one, then the exorcism must be performed by the full-scale rite.” (http://www.angelfire. com/punk5/religions_proj1/ritesofpassage.html). b) Funeral Rites: “Funeral ceremonies are oftentimes very extensive and may combine Taoist and Buddhist elements. Rituals are performed over the deceased. Attendants of the funeral service that are not in the close family will wear a combination of black and white, and close family members will be dressed in black. They will burn paper money and houses and place flowers, wreaths, incense, and a special ancestor shrine at the burial site” (Ibid.). c) Cosmic Renewal Rites: “Cosmic Renewal Rites are rituals that go by the moon. In this ritual, Taoists perform non-blood offerings to the cosmos and universe” (Ibid.).
