What are the Taoist Wisdom

The first is "political wisdom".

The early Han dynasty revered Taoism ("the rule of Huang Lao") and emphasized its political wisdom.

The political wisdom of Taoism was mainly developed through the concepts of "non-action" and "nature".

"'Doing nothing' is a requirement for the monarch, which advocates curbing the over-expansion of the personal desire for power, and doing everything in accordance with the Tao and according to reason." "'Nature', on the other hand, calls for recuperation and respect for the rights and responsibilities of subjects." This political wisdom was put into practice at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, resulting in the "Rule of Wen and Jing," a period of peace and prosperity.

Secondly, there is the "wisdom of life".

This is mainly represented by Zhuangzi, the Taoist thought contained in the wisdom of life, can be said to be inexhaustible.

"Zhuangzi, on the one hand, looked for ways or techniques to deal with the world, and on the other hand, as expressed in the story of the Butcher's Ox, elevated such techniques to the level of the 'Tao', thus endowing the life of suffering with the spirit of art, and keeping the mind independent, free and calm while getting along with the world. ."

The third is "discursive wisdom."

Compared with the other schools of the pre-Qin dynasties, Taoism places social, political and life issues in the context of the universe, and is not confined to the real world, thus greatly expanding the human mind, both in time and space.

"While pushing the world from the realm of the tangible to the realm of the intangible, thought itself tends to be far-reaching from the shallow.

The Taoists created a "tradition of metaphysics" in Chinese thought and culture.

"The main conceptual categories of Chinese formal education, such as Taoism, rationality, existence, nothingness, emptiness, reality, motion, stillness, constancy, change, etc., are mostly derived from Taoism. It is through the interpretation of these categories that Chinese philosophy takes on a rich discursive color."
