how have confucianism and Daoism influenced chinese culture?

Daoism accompanied Confucianism as an influential ethical system within Chinese society. Both Daoists and Confucianists concurred that man and nature also needed to strive for a harmonious balance between the elements of yin and yang. Although many Confucianists disavowed Daoism's emphasis on superstition, they nonetheless embraced elements of the philosophy and integrated it with their Confucian beliefs. As a result, despite Daoism's appeals, Confucianism remained the primary belief system underpinning Chinese society at the dawn of the imperial age.
