  3. Origin of the Ancient Chinese Philosophies During the Zhou dynasty's later years (1045 to 256 B.C.E.), different leaders fought for control in China. The country was thrown into a time of disorder for 250 years called the Warring States Era. This led Chinese thinkers to ask serious questions about the best way to maintain peace and order in society. Three very different answers emerged and became separate philosophies known as Confucianism (kuhn-FYOO-shuh-niz-uhm), Daoism (DOW-iz-um), and Legalism. The following scene illustrates the differences between these schools of thought. Suppose it is 250 B.C.E. The ruler of a small kingdom has sent three advisers to learn about the three philosophies. Upon their return, he asks them, “What should I do to rule well?” The first adviser has learned about Confucianism, so he tells the king, “Lead by example.” The second adviser has studied Daoism and says, “If you must rule, rule as little as possible.” The third adviser has learned about Legalism and replies, “Set clear laws and harshly punish those who disobey them.”
