Introduction to Taoism:

Of the five major religions in China, Taoism is the only one that originated in China and was founded by China people, so it is also called indigenous religion. Taoism had a far-reaching influence on politics, economy and culture in ancient China, and it was one of the three spiritual pillars of the ruling class. After the founding of New China, Taoism in China was reborn through the democratic reform of the religious system.

Taoism originated from the worship of nature and belief in gods in ancient China, which is different from Confucianism and Buddhism. It emphasizes nature, Taoism and truth, and is an individual-oriented religious concept. The main rituals of Taoism are fasting and altars. The main techniques of Taoism are external alchemy, internal alchemy and Fuyong. The main festivals in Taoism are Shangyuan Festival, Zhongyuan Festival and Xiayuan Festival.
