This is a brilliant episode. I love your distinction between Taoism and Confucius-ism. The latter is evil and wants to control every aspect of your life, teaches absolute obedience and yet gives the emperors unlimited power. Hence the emperors embrace it and make it a state religion.
@@Frank.history 从生米煮成熟饭,到七夕女儿节乞巧,再到今天商业化的中国情人节……再联想到这几千年的各种演变--从孔孟儒学到程朱理学,从道家老庄到道教的全真丹鼎和正一符咒,从易经八卦到风水五行……各种变迁无不与当时的统治者、经济文化发展水平和各种外部力量等诸多因素息息相关……沧海桑田、世事变迁,历史真是太有魅力了……愿老师一直都在前方,为我等后学引路😇 have a wonderful week 😍
