Argument: Confucianism has a profound influence on us. Such as benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, have a profound impact on the present society. The Taoist thought that everything should conform to nature also affects the development of modern society.

A draft of the debate between Confucianism and Taoism;

The world always thinks that Laozi and Zhuangzi's thoughts are Taoist thoughts, but this is problematic. Laozi and Zhuangzi's thought is only a part of Taoist thought, which emphasizes that Tao refers to the natural laws of all things. Confucius and Mencius thought mainly emphasizes "benevolence" and advocates the relationship between people.

Which of the two viewpoints we are discussing today is more conducive to the all-round development of society and will be more suitable for modern society? Therefore, we think that Laozi and Zhuangzi's thoughts are more suitable for modern society than Confucius and Mencius'.

The influence of Confucianism on modern society;

1. Under the influence of Confucianism, people are cautious about the theory of ghosts and gods. China people tend to rely on people's strength to solve practical problems, forming the habit of not asking God and worshiping Buddha easily.

2. The ecological ethics of "harmony between man and nature" provides a broad ideological and cultural foundation for us to build an ecological civilization, and people pursue the harmony and unity between man and nature.

3. Confucian educational thought has become the main content of excellent traditional education of China nationalities, which is of great significance to modern quality education. Our education not only needs to face the future, but also needs to inherit the fine tradition of Confucian education.
