as far as i understand, Confucianism and Taoism are for the philosophers and elites, and the rest take the rudimentary parts of those two to reinforce the local traditions.
so i can see Neo-Platonism or Stoicism being for intellectual types and the emperor, while the locals continue practicing whatever their local rites are.
