Compare And Contrast The Philosophies Of The Shang Dynasty
the country healthy. Everyone was supposed to play their role and if something or someone didn’t they were going to suffer from a natural disaster. The Mandate of Heaven was very significant because to the civilization because for many years they were shaped because of it. Additionally like the Shang Dynasty the Zhou Dynasty had a lot of significant achievements. During the Shang Dynasty they were three important philosophies, Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism. According to passage "Ancient Chinese Dynasties: Advancements and Achievements.” ‘Confucianism was the idea that people should behave ethically and have great respect and commitment for their families. Taoism teaches humility and compassion. Legalism believed that people were evil
by nature and needed strict rules and punishment to control their conduct.’(Par ,2) In my belief all three philosophies were very important part of the Zhou dynasty. Confucianism was something that still today people all over the world follow. This philosophy was manly for behavior and leadership. They also advocated moral and ethical character and although the message wasn’t always clear Confucianism advocated the creation of government which was design to maintain stability. Taoism was the universal truth. It saw harmony in all aspect of nature. Confucianism and Taoist ideals mixed as private and public dynamic. Legalism, was in my opinion the most conservative of the three. Legalism believed that stability could be achieved best through a strict authoritarian government. These three philosophies really did shape the way China stayed strong throughout the years and most importantly they were a significant part of the Zhou dynasty that held the civilization together.
In conclusion, the three dynasty had a tremendous impact in the civilization of Ancient China which as a whole had an impact in the history of the world. China was the first civilization to create a writing system and made bronze weapons. China created three impacting philosophy that still is being practiced today. They created a calendar that the world still uses today. In my opinion Ancient China civilization was the most historical impacting event. I believe that if Ancient China did not survive, the world would be completely different and many thing that China created wouldn’t be here today.
