Abstract

“Water” is located at the head of the five elements of Yin and Yang, and exists as one of the origins of the world. For Confucianism, it is “Virtue”, for Buddhism, and for Taoism, it is “the origin of the road”. According to the contents contained in Tao Te Ching, this paper analyzes the interpretation of the image of “water” by Taoism, and then analyzes the differences between the three schools on the culture of “water” by citing the representative figures of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and the interpretation of the cultural connotation of the image of “water” in their works.
