How does Taoism influence folk beliefs (for example)?
China's folk beliefs are all the products of the integration of the three religions. What you are saying now, that is, I believe in Buddhism and Taoism, are actually folk beliefs, not pure religious philosophy at all, but a belief that distorts the essence of classical culture with a lot of superstitions.

For example, Buddhism is the only godless religion in the world. It opposes the role of God, worships God when nothing happens, and strives to become a Buddha by its own efforts. Buddhists only worship Buddha, Dharma and Monks, while Monks only worship Buddha and Dharma. Some temples have statues of the protector Galand, and monks must be punished for their worship. Obviously, such a godless religion is not integrated with Taoism, a polytheistic religion, but folk beliefs have integrated the two.

Taoism advocates that my life depends on my absence, which is very similar to Buddhism, that is, I want to control my own destiny. However, folk beliefs distort this view of Buddhism and Taoism into asking God to worship Buddha for peace, which has created many temporary worshippers.

Confucianism, which integrates the three religions, must be strange to everyone, because it is not mentioned much at ordinary times and there are few Confucius temples in the country, so it is very strange. However, Confucianism also occupies an important proportion in the composition of folk beliefs. Sacrificing ancestors, the death of ancestors and ghosts at home are actually Confucian traditions and part of folk beliefs.
