When one would speak of the religious institutions of China, he is indeed in the position of the person named in the commencement of this chapter. There appears to be three systems of religions, viz., that of Confucius, the system of Laou-tze, and that of Buddha.
Confucius describes Laou-tze as resembling the dragon, and received from him a lecture, in which he accuses him of worldly-mindedness and vanity, and concludes by telling him to make the best of it he can.
The religion of Laou-tze comes next for our consideration. Its followers are called Taouists, from the word Taou, Reason, the active principle, eternal reason. Its founder lived about the same time as Confucius, who is said to have had an interview with him.
