Summary

Taoism, also known as Daoism, is an indigenous Chinese religion often associated with the Daode jing (Tao Te Ching), a philosophical and political text purportedly written by Laozi (Lao Tzu) sometime in the 3rd or 4th centuries B.C.E. This religion emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao. The roots of Taoism go back at least to the 4th century BCE, which is deeply influenced by one of the oldest texts of Chinese culture, the Yijing, which expounds a philosophical system about how to keep human behavior in accordance with the alternating cycles of nature. It was engaged with Chinese politics in a variety of ways throughout Chinese history.
