Neo-Confucianism integrated elements from Buddhism, particularly the emphasis on self-cultivation and introspection, as well as concepts of metaphysics and the nature of reality. From Daoism, it adopted ideas of harmony with the natural world and the importance of spontaneity in moral action. This synthesis allowed Neo-Confucianism to address spiritual and ethical dimensions while maintaining a Confucian focus on social order and human relationships. Ultimately, it created a more comprehensive philosophical framework that appealed to a broader audience.

While Buddhism was practiced, it did not serve as the official policy of the state. Bureaucracy was a key feature of governance, but it was rooted in Confucian ideals.
