- Some modern scholars belive that Laozi was real man, but others think he was only a legend
- According to tradition, the great sage of Daoism was Laozi. He was said to be the author of theDao De Jing (The Classic of the Way and It's Power).
- Old stories of Laozi's life tell how he came to write the Dao De Jing. These stories say the Laozi worked as an advisor to the Zhou court.When he was 90 years old, he tired of government work and decided to leave China
- When he came to the Chinese boarder a gaurd reconized him and asked him to write his teachings down before he left called the Dao De Jing.
- For example, one passage says: If you do not want your house to be molested by robbers, Do not fill it will gold and jade.Wealth, rank, and arrogance add up to ruin,As surely as two and two are four
- The Dao De Jing preached a simple and natural way of living.
- Daoism was based on the ancient Chinese idea of Dao, or the Way. Dao was the force that gave order to the natural universe
- Daoism taght that people gained happiness and peace by living in harmony, or agreement, with the way of nature.
- To the Daoists, nature is full of opposites, like life and death or light and darkness. True harmony comes from balancing the opposite forces of nature, called yin and yang.
- Yin means shadowed, and yang means sunlit. In the same way, human life is a whole made of opposites. It is impossible to have good without bad or beauty without ugliness.
- The Daoist believed that everyone must discover Dao themselves. Too many laws and social rules only go in the way of living naturally and following the Dao
- Daoism encouraged rulers to rule less harshly. But Daoism's more important influence was on Chinese thought, writing, and art. Over time Daoism developed into a popular region.
