Does Wu Zetian believe in Taoism?

Wu Zetian believes in Taoism, but her relationship with Buddhism is not as close as hers. It is very difficult to discuss Wu Zetian's religious belief, which can only be said as belief and utilization-Buddhism and Taoism will be used "for my use" as long as they are beneficial to her. In the dynasty when women were not allowed to participate in politics, it was not enough for Wu Zetian to become a queen only by relying on her extraordinary courage. Buddhism was used to call Maitreya the reincarnation of Buddha, and Buddhism helped her realize her dream of being an emperor. After becoming the highest authority, in order to repay Buddhism, Wu Zetian spread the Buddha's prestige all over the country and devoted herself to the Three Treasures. No matter whether she sincerely prayed to the Buddha or made atonement at first, she contributed to the inheritance and influence of Buddhism in China. In her later years, Wu Zetian was superstitious about becoming immortal. She spoiled the Zhang Yizhi brothers and made an alchemy for her, longing for immortality, and then went on to carry out Taoist activities. All these can show that Wu Zetian is neither a devout Buddhist nor a pure Taoist. Her old man's house is a politician with flexible skills, and it is very likely that she believes in herself.
