Taoism takes "Tao" as the core, thinks that the avenue is inaction, advocates the nature of Tao, and puts forward political, economic, governing the country and military strategies such as Taoism, guarding men and women, and combining rigidity with softness. It has simple dialectical thought, is an extremely important philosophical school in "a hundred schools of thought contend", exists in various cultural fields in China, and has a great influence on the culture of China and even the world.

"Tao" is the highest concept of Taoist philosophy and its ultimate belief object. Because "Tao" has the characteristics of "nothing", there is no fixed form and no unified standard, so believing in "Tao" is not believing in a fixed, unified and external other, but accepting uncertainty and change itself. The lessons of history and reality tell us that taking limited things as the object of belief will often bring disasters and conflicts.
