Syncretism or the Mixed School ( Chinese: 雜家; pinyin: zájiā) in Chinese philosophy is an eclectic school of thought that combined elements of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, and Legalism. The Syncretist texts include the Huainanzi, Lüshi Chunqiu, and the Shizi. [1] The (c. 330 BCE) Shizi is the earliest of the Syncretist texts.
