WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Taoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy and religion that instructs believers on how to exist in harmony with the universe.

Detailed explanation-2: -The basic idea of the Daoists was to enable people to realize that, since human life is really only a small part of a larger process of nature, the only human actions which ultimately make sense are those which are in accord with the flow of Nature-the Dao or the Way.

Detailed explanation-3: -Confucians are more actively engaged in working with nature, especially in agricultural processes, while Daoists are more passive toward nature, wanting to experience its beauty and mystery without interfering in its rhythms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Taoism is China’s indigenous religion. It’s also a religion of unity and opposites, as evident in its best-known symbol, the circle of yin and yang. This represents two primal opposite forces in the universe: light and dark, male and female, hot and cold.
