Answer: While Taoism focuses on finding the right path in life, Confucianism is more concerned with social matters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confucianism is a system of behavior which originates from the ancient China. The purpose of this system is to set good examples for people to follow, which is reflected in five relationships - ruler and subject, wife and husband, older and younger sibling, father and son, friend and friend.

Taoism, on the other hand, teaches people how to live in harmony. It is a school that explains how to find the right path in life. The word Taoism originates from the Chinese word dao/tao, which means 'the way'.
