Taoist thought advocates respecting Tao and virtue, the unity of nature and man, and valuing life and benefiting the world.
Taoism is the Taoist Taoism that originated from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in ancient China. It is a native form of polytheism that worships many gods. Its main purpose is to pursue immortality, achieve immortality, and save the world and save people. It occupies an important position in ancient Chinese traditional culture and is also actively developing in the modern world.
Although Taoism has been one of the hundreds of schools of thought since the Warring States Period, Taoism has deified the original moral philosopher. It was not until the late Han Dynasty that religious groups emerged. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling founded Taoism, and Tianshi Tao worshiped Laozi as the Supreme Lord. By the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the religious form of Taoism gradually improved. Laozi Li Er (Taishang Laojun) is the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Laozi was honored as the Taishang Xuanyuan Emperor, the sage ancestor of Dao Yuanque.

Taoism is simple and natural, and does not pursue external fame and fortune, but only seeks to live a free and easy life.
