You're not limited to one or two Harmonizations or something like that?
That's right. As long as you have at least 20 development of another religion you can harmonize with them and gain the benefit from it. You can find out what benefits you get from them from the EU4 wiki.

Its one of my favorite religions due to the free holy war CB when you have humanist ideas completed + a nice policy with offensive ideas for almost no rebels . Was able to get - 25 years of separatism and +14.5 national unrest due to ideas, policies, high stability and the reforms in my Qing game. + 80% CCR as emperor of China with the reform passed adm/court ideas and edict active. Can take way more over-extension and core super fast and even with the negative events giving separatism in some provinces the rebels will never rise up before you even finish coring.

I regret I'm 2/3rd's of the way into my Ming game and have yet to harmonize a religion, should have looked into it a lot sooner.

Humanist is great. Confucian is great and go along with Hunanist, we no longer need to convert any thing with Confucian.

Also annex weaken China is not hard and if you can get Confucian or become Sino culture group then it is great.

I also often have a house rule not to annex China, because it is the quickest to win.

Playing as Ming and I survived all those rebellions, which Confucian nation is your favourite to play and why is Humanist so good for them?

I play many Dai Viet games. They start not strong but on the coast so can use Exploring Idea to be neighbour with weak countries.

Humanist have +25% bonus to harmnonize speed. And because Confucian don't like convert so Humanist is better than Religious, and it gives the Religioun CB too. Usually there is no separatist rebel in mid game when we hamonize a religion in advance.

It is plausible to do, but you need to go through some major shenanigans to snag Judaism before it disappears. Usually not worth doing for a mere +15% institution spread.

In contrast Zoroastrian is well worth snagging as early as possible.
