Filial piety was highly cherished by Confucianism.

Too much to list for Confucianism. Ethics and morality are not a goal in Taoism, virtue is.

Confucianism is more political. Confucianism focuses on relationships, father to son, ruler to subject, younger brother to older brother. Confucius believed that the rulers should be concerned for the welfare of the people. Daoism is the belief that one should live in harmony and peace and be one with nature. If a Daoist was in an argument, the Daoist is expected to yield to the arguer. For example: If there was a corrupt ruler that stole money from the people for a luxurious palace, a Confucian would tell the ruler to be less selfish, while a Daoist wold tell the ruler to run away to the woods and mediate on the problem

Daoism recommends living with wisdom, compassion, and tolerance. It says that wise people accept what is, and act so subtly and in harmony with things that it appears they've done nothing at all. Violence, even well-intentioned, begets violence and should be avoided except in extremity, and then only should be undertaken with compassion and regret. Judgment is not recommended, but inner peace and happiness are highly recommended. Balance and harmony are keys to this.

In dwelling, live close to the ground.
In thinking, keep to the simple.
In conflict, be fair and generous.
In governing, don't try to control.
In work, do what you enjoy.
In family life, be completely present.

When you are content to be simply yourself
and don't compare or compete,
everybody will respect you.
.....


Fame or integrity: which is more important?
Money or happiness: which is more valuable?
Success of failure: which is more destructive?

If you look to others for fulfillment,
you will never truly be fulfilled.
If your happiness depends on money,
you will never be happy with yourself.

Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.
