Evaluation and International Impact of Taoism

Taoism originated in the long history of China. From the flood era in China, human beings first began to seek the blessing of nature, and then believed that everything had a spirit, which was the first theory that appeared in primitive human beings before the formation of religions (English: animism), which in turn gave rise to the reverence for nature, the reverence for souls, and the reverence for ancestors, and then evolved into the belief that ancestors were united with the sky god in the rivers of history, becoming the prototype of various types of supreme gods in later generations. Until in the river of history slowly evolved into the ancestors and the god of the sky, become the supreme faith in the sky, the prototype of all kinds of supreme god in later generations.

The Evaluation and International Impact of Taoism

Taoism

Taoism, which originated in the ancient native China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period of the Founder Immortalists, is a form of religion that worships a number of gods and goddesses of the polytheistic original religion, the main purpose of which is the pursuit of immortality, the Taoist Immortalization, to save the world. It occupies an important position in ancient Chinese traditional culture and has been actively developed in the modern world. Although Taoism has been one of the hundred schools of thought since the Warring States period, Taoism has deified the original moral philosophers. It was not until the late Han Dynasty that a religious order arose, and the Tianshi Dao of Yizhou (present-day Sichuan) enshrined Laozi as the Supreme Lord Laojun. By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the religious form of Taoism was gradually perfected. In the Tang Dynasty, Laozi was honored and in order to glorify the Tang royal family, it was said that Laozi (Taishang Laojun) was the ancestor of the Tang family.
