The Bible begins with the creation of the world.As a consequence，in traditional Western thought the world is assumed to have been created by God.The Earth is associated with whatever is impermanent，imperfect，bodily and sinful.Heaven is the sphere of the permanent，perfect，spiritual and holy.
Traditional Chinese thought has no place for the idea of a creation.What exists has always existed and shall always do so.Accordingly there is no concept of necessary "improvement"or"correction"of the creation through such means as a Last Judgment.
Things are as they are simply because that is the way they are.The natural principle of order，common to all that exists，is called the Way（dao）.The Way is not some sort of law or pattern that God or prophets（先知） forced on what exists.It reveals itself in the ongoing process of historical existence.
The Way is present not only in the physical world of nature---where it expresses itself in the alternation of the seasons and in the growth cycle of plants and animals---but also in the life of human society：a normal system of mutual（相互的） relations between humans.It implies loyalty of the subject to the ruler，obedience（顺从）of children to their parents，mutual reliability between friends，and so on.The norms of morality are thought to be in all persons from birth.
There is no such thing as an anti-Way，tempting（引诱）mankind into error.There is no such thing as a struggle between Light and Darkness，or between God and Evil.Crimes and misdeeds are seen as the result of an evil arising from stupidity，caused by the confusing influence of desires.Desires are normal，but must be kept under control.
①As long as all people conduct themselves according to the one correct and normal Way，order（zhi）will be popular in society.Otherwise disorder（luan） will result.②People easily let themselves be tempted into forgetting morality in search of their own private aims，thus ignoring the"difference between human beings and wild beasts".③Chinese thinkers were strongly worried about the horrors of misused and arbitrary power，of violence and of war.For them these things were Hell enough.④Blessedness，for Chinese thinkers，is not a condition to be hoped for after death，but in life on Earth in a well-ordered society.There is no Paradise other than what is brought about here and now by man on Earth.
