Answer:

A belief in all-encompassing and undefinable quality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taoism was founded by Lao-tzu who left a copy of his teachings known as the Tao with a gate-keeper before he left the city of Luoyang. Tao, literally translated as 'The Way' promotes the belief that all things are one no matter what they might appear to be.

Confucianism was founded by a politician and musician known as Confucius. The Jen was his guiding doctrine which states that the totality of man's way of living was in the Jen. The Jen and Tao are similar because they are all-encompassing and have undefinable quality.
