Question

what are the beliefs of Confucianism and Taoism as they relate to the government

Answer 1

phrase three teachings (Chinese: 三教; pinyin: San Jiao) refers to Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism when considered as a harmonious aggregate.[ Someone of the earliest literary references to the "three teachings" idea dates back to the 6th century by prominent Chinese scholars of the time.  The term may also refer to a non-religious philosophy built on that aggregation.
