Historical background of three religions and nine streams;

Three religions and nine streams usually refer to all kinds of people and theories in society. Three religions refer to Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Because Buddhism was introduced into China only when Emperor Hanming was in power, there was no Buddhism in the early "three religions".

Legend has it that Hong Jun's ancestors passed on three friends together, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun founded "Buddhism", and the founder of Tian Tong started his own business to "stop teaching". Together with the three Ren Huang, they are called "humanism", so they are called "three religions". "Nine streams" refer to Confucianism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, Legalists, famous artists, Mohists, strategists, miscellaneous scholars and farmers.
