What are the three Chinese philosophies and the reason they emerged?

The three Chinese philosophies are Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism. Confucianism emphasized moral values, social harmony, and ethical behavior, arising from a period of political turmoil.

Legalism advocated for strict laws, harsh punishments, and centralized control to maintain social order during a time of instability.
