Finally, China’s law is to be human. It select person who are poor people and punish hard. If you are commie high ranker, you can avoid easily. It is Authoritarianism pretending to legalism.

Legalism is a hardline school of thought, but it is also the most practical of them all. It is so, because it takes into account the realities of human nature (rather than assume morality).
Reference: plato.stanford.edu
Legalists see human beings as inherently self-interested. It dismisses the possibility that people can overcome their selfishness and considers the possibility that people can be driven by moral commitment to be exceptionally rare. Therefore, a political system that presupposes this human selfishness is the only viable system. In contrast, a political system based on trust and respect (rather than impersonal norms and standards, as in Legalism) will result in an irresolvable power struggle.
It is axiomatic in Legalism that the government can not truly be staffed by upright and trustworthy men of service, because every member of the elite—like any member of society—will have their own interests and thus must be employed for their interests. Herein, individuals must be allowed to pursue their selfish interests in a manner that benefits rather than contradicts the needs of a state.
This is why Legalism is the school of law. Strictly-enforced and impartial laws will alter people's rational calculations by making them fear punishments and covet rewards. Thus, people can be shaped behaviorally to yield social order if it is in the individual's own self-interest to abide by the norms (that is, different interests are aligned to each other and the social good).
It is still present in modern China: chinachannel.org

The first Chinese empire happened to be legalist. It also happened to collapse because no one liked them.

the Qin collapsed because of Qin Er Shi's incompetence, it had nothing to do with legalism

Taoism. Taoism isn't preachy at all. It's a mixed bag of mundane and mysterious stuff that is easy and relaxing shit. You basically just pray for your health and benefit. Doesn't have one exreme existence. It's similar to Japanese jinja.
