Plz meaccording to laozi, what is the dao? a. the home of the heavenly spirits b. respect for authority c. the natural way of the universe d. reverence for ancestorswhat is the main topic discussed in the analects of confucius? a. proper behavior and ideals b. successful battle strategies c. living in harmony with nature d. the nature of the afterlifewhich spirits were most important to the ancient chinese? a. spirits of one's ancestors b. evil spirits who controlled the crops c. spirits found in the natural world d. spirits representing the mandate of heaven

First one- Lao Zi describes the Dao as being the source of everything and the natural way of the universe; in a way something extremely powerful and present in all things, but at the same time it's pacific or passive. Since Lao Zi says that people have free will and are able to act upon their desires, anything good or bad that happens to them (in consequence for their actions) does so because they may, or may not, deviate from this unseen path of harmony.

Second one- Confucius discusses mainly proper behavior and ideals, this concept being called ren in the Analects. He describes this as an altruistic way of living, in which an individual may try to help elevate the lives from those around them, believing that by doing so he is in fact helping himself.

Third one- The religion of the ancient Chinese was based on the worship, of deities or gods, that represented aspects of nature or social live and was also based on the respect for the spirit of one's ancestors. Believing that both the spirit and the body of a deceased could haunt the living, the Chinese of the time had rituals that sought to help their dead relatives to have a happy afterlife.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
