1, Tao is the ultimate road to truth.

2. Tao is the norm, rhythm and motive force of all nature, and it is the principle of order behind all life.

3. Tao is the way of life.

2. Vitality Taoism: increase the number of Taoist places and increase its basic supply through cultivation. Pay attention to nourishing qi.

There are three kinds of spiritual cultivation: material, medicine refining, sexual exercise, Taiji telepathy, meditation, yoga, religion and Taoism, divination, psychic, wizard and faith therapy. It is intended to provide ordinary villagers with the vitality of the universe.

The boundary between the three should not be too sharp.

Distinguish between Confucianism and Taoism: Confucius tries his best to build an ideal response model of consciously learning from others, while Taoism is just the opposite-let the self-foundation cooperate with Taoism and let the behavior flow spontaneously.

Confucius stands for classicism and Laozi stands for romanticism. Confucius emphasized social responsibility, while Laozi advocated spontaneity and naturalness. Confucius focuses on people, while Laozi focuses on things beyond people.

Enlightening statement: the natural state of existence is the perfect result of action, and vice versa.

Other values of Taoism:

1. Oppose all forms of self-affirmation and competition.

2. The relationship between man and nature: man should be friends with nature. Which influenced the art of China. Needham said: "A set of natural and organic philosophy is very similar to the philosophy that western modern science was forced to adopt after three centuries of mechanical materialism."

3. Advocate the relativity of all values. Taiji diagram shows the complementary balance of yin and yang.
