understanding early Chinese history

This article shows that Taoist can help deepen our understanding of early Chinese history. It can do this because it shows how Confucians dealt with their world. They send petitions and documents to the emperor. China also never had an alternate model other than an emperor. That was the model for over 2,000 years. Early history of Taoism is different however, it's a theocracy based around "tianshi". Tianshi was a celestial master who was suppose to establish a new political structure. This structure is called the "Great Peace", in which every indiviual is treated justly. This concept provided an alternative to the norm of Confucianism. The founder of this was Zhang Daoling. In China, this political structure did not last. The social structure of the community was based upon the ritual of all Taoist, having a name and a title. Your social status also determined your rank in the religion.
