Confucianism and Taoism both originated in China many centuries before Christianity. These religions were established as ethical guides for individuals and officials. Confucianism is based on the teachings and writings of the philosopher Confucius, K'ung Fu Tzu. He was born in 551 BCE in the modern day Shantung Province.
