Taoism, also known as Daoism, is a philosophical and religious tradition originating in ancient China, profoundly influencing Chinese culture and thought for millennia. Its core tenets revolve around the concept of the Tao (Dao), often translated as "the Way," a fundamental principle underlying the universe and all existence. This Tao is not a personal god or deity but rather an ineffable, ever-flowing force that governs the natural order, characterized by spontaneity, balance, and interconnectedness. Understanding and aligning oneself with the Tao is the ultimate goal of Taoist practice. This alignment is achieved not through rigid dogma or prescribed rituals, but through cultivating inner harmony, living in accordance with nature, and embracing the cyclical rhythms of life and death.
