What is the essence of Taoist culture?

The main works of Taoism are Laozi and Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi is a representative of the Taoist school, and the essence of his thought is advocating "morality". Zhuangzi inherited and developed Laozi's thought, so it was called Laozi and Zhuangzi in history, and Taoist thought was also called Laozi and Zhuangzi's thought.

The core idea of Taoism has two objects, namely, man and nature, but it is people-oriented in practice. Taoism respects human nature and the laws of nature. Therefore, as the source of action, when learning Taoist culture, people should first understand themselves, then understand nature, and finally how to deal with the relationship between man and nature.

The practical significance of Taoist culture;

In today's society, some people are impulsive when dealing with affairs because of their serious hostility. The publicity of desire and the hegemony of power hurt individual humanity and destroy social values.

Being self-centered, not knowing how to introspect and not accepting the existence of dissidents is an important reason. Taoism requires restraint of one's temperament and caution towards the world around him.

We should not only adhere to our own principles, but also accept others' differences, seek common ground while reserving differences, and be harmonious but different.
