Culture And Religion Of The Yuan Dynasty
In the Culture and religion of the Yuan dynasty it is said that Genghis Khan is credited with the title of master to the Quan zhen religion so that he could govern all the national Daoism groups. Every base of religion and culture that Genghis Khan was credited for was actually just based off of what Kublai Khan felt was important during his reign as emperor. Part of the reason that the Yuan was open to more religions was because of the Mongolians, they were very smart and open to different things. Towards the end of the Yuan dynasty they adopted Islam and was practiced similar to today. They also used Buddhism, but that eventually took the back seat to Daoism because the Daoist were able to receive certain persecutions. This was a new
idea because although the majority was towards different religions at different times, no religion was looked down upon it was similar to Rome under the ruling of Constantinople.
The Han Dynasty started to use ideas from Confucius. The rulers who had just won the Dynasty from Xiang Yu could see that people were no longer responding to harsh laws and punishments and needed a religion with rules who would no longer punish you harshly for minor mistakes. The Han dynasty was said to have developed a tributary system, which was a network of trade from foreign countries. This was much different from the Yuan Dynasty, which you can notice that is much close to a society such as today’s because it was from a later time period. In the Han Dynasty they looked to a society for less rules because the leaders needed to be liked. In the Yuan Dynasty people had saw for a long time Confucianism would no longer work, so they simply said you pick what you want to believe.
