Confucianism and Taoism have very little in common. Confucianism stresses action, it says that action and ethics are the same. One of Taoism’s most valued precepts is the Wu Wei - doing nothing to do something. Where Confucianism orders the world, and creates it in society’s image, Taoism delights in accepting the seeming disorder, and finding the order in it. Confucianists practice, and Taoists think. Confucianists stress work and governance; Taoists stress relaxation and pensiveness. What they both do is seek peace.
