There are widespread migrations so a lot of different ideas are colliding. The opportunity to explore new cultural ideas arose. New ways of thinking about the world emerged from the competitive atmosphere that the greek city-states fostered. Since Daoism is "do nothing", some people have the idea not to mess with the government; but Confucianism says to be smart and to work. Therefore, people had different ideas on how to run things.
