A philosophy of balance and harmony—how did Taoism shape Chinese thought and spirituality? Taoism, rooted in the teachings of Laozi and the Tao Te Ching, emphasizes living in harmony with nature and the flow of the Tao (the Way). This book explores the mystical aspects of Taoism, its influence on Chinese medicine, martial arts, and philosophy, and its contrast with Confucianism and Buddhism. The role of Taoist temples, deities, and alchemy in Chinese history is also examined. If you're intrigued by Eastern philosophy and the search for inner peace, this book offers a deep dive into Taoism's wisdom.
