During the Zhou Dynasty in the 6th century BC to be exact, the greatest Chinese philosophers in the Zhou dynasty, those who made the greatest impact on later generations of Chinese, were Confucius, the creators of Confucianism, and also the Laozi, creators of the second religion/belief of the Zhou dynasty called Taoism. The Zhou Dynasty followed one of these beliefs and it was their choice. The Zhou also believed in the coming back of their ancestors and the gods. Some people that lived on the border of the Zhou Dynasty were called peasants and some of them believed in old folk religions passed down from generation to generation.
