The meaning of the word "three religions and nine streams" used to be elegant.
The word "three religions" originated in the Three Kingdoms period and refers to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Confucianism founded by Confucius is not a religion, but in order to raise the status of Confucius, China Confucianism is regarded as a religion. Buddhism introduced into China in the Eastern Han Dynasty was called Buddhism for short because it was founded by Sakyamuni in India. Taoism, founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty, pays attention to alchemy and seeks immortality. There is a statue of three gods in Songyang Academy of Henan Province, with the faces of Confucius, Laozi and Sakyamuni engraved on one head.
The word "nine streams" first appeared in the Records of Han Shu Yi Wen, which refers to the academic schools of Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Buddhism, agriculture, Yin and Yang, vertical and horizontal in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Later, people collectively referred to various religions and academic schools as "three religions and nine streams". Over time, sometimes people regard it as a derogatory term, referring to those who engage in various businesses in the Jianghu.
