Doing nothing is the ideal path for Taoists to achieve social order. Whether individuals think less and want less, or social managers are quiet and undisturbed, the fundamental goal of Laozi and Zhuangzi is the benign operation of society.

Taoism attaches importance to the freedom and liberation of human nature. Liberation is on the one hand the liberation of people's knowledge and ability, and on the other hand the liberation of people's life mood.
