The opinions that three religions of China should be united have existed for quite a long time. And they were

especially popular in late Qing Dynasty. This article traces the history of this kind of opinions and analyzes their similarities and

differences. From the Confucian standpoints, including the world view, view of life, values and political views, the unification of

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is discussed in this article, and conclusions are drawn that it is not feasible to carry out the

unification, which is also not in conformity with the principles of Confucianism, the principles of Zhouyi and heavenly principles.
