It also blended with popular and important religions and became the vehicle for presenting Chinese values to the peasants.  The school's doctrine supported political authority using the theory of the mandate of heaven.  It sought to help rulers maintain domestic order, preserve tradition, and maintain a constant standard of living for the tax paying peasants.
