Three Religions and Nine Streams
The "Three Religions and Nine Streams" were originally the gradations of people's status and professional titles in the old society, and examined and regulated moral behavior according to different grades. Upon closer inspection, these "three teachings" and "nine streams" all have clear directions. The so-called "three religions" refer to the three religions of "Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism"; the so-called "nine streams" refer to "Confucianism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, Legalism, famous schools, Mohism, political strategists, miscellaneous schools, and farmers." This is the ninth stream.
