What aspects of confucianism and daoism do you think contributed to their long lasting influence?

Confucianism and Daoism are considered philosophical world views and ways of life. Each has its own set of characteristics that make of them a long-lasting influence to adopt for a lifetime.

Daoism is focused on understanding nature and embracing it as it is - regarding the nature of humans and that of the environment that surrounds them. This broad approach of understanding life allowed Daoism to become a religion with and organized doctrine and cult practices.
