Taoism is naturally the proposition of Taoism.
1. Tao follows nature, which means that everything in the universe operates according to natural laws, and these natural laws are governed by "Tao". Therefore, humans should follow the laws of nature rather than forcefully change or destroy it. Laozi believes that "Tao" is the most basic principle in the universe, which contains endless wisdom and power. If human beings want to achieve happiness and success, they must follow the principles of Tao and live in harmony with nature. He emphasized that only by following the laws of nature can long-term peace and stability of mankind be achieved.
2. In Taoist thought, "Tao" is described as an invisible, ubiquitous existence that transcends all human understanding and cognition. Therefore, Taoism advocates understanding the true meaning of "Tao" through intuition and experience rather than through rational thinking and logical analysis. Taoist thought plays a very important role in the history of Chinese philosophy. It not only influenced ancient Chinese politics, culture, art, etc., but also had a profound impact on various fields of modern society.

Introduction to Laozi
Laozi, whose surname is Li and Ming'er, whose given name is Dan and whose first name is Boyang, may also be called Boyang, was born in the late Spring and Autumn Period. His birth and death dates are unknown, according to "Historical Records" According to records in many ancient books, Laozi was a native of Ku County, Chen Guo (now Luyi County, Henan Province) during the Spring and Autumn Period. Laozi served as the keeper of the Zhou Dynasty and was famous for his erudition. Confucius once visited the Zhou Dynasty to ask him for courtesy. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the world was in chaos. I wanted to abandon my official position and go into seclusion, so I rode a green ox to the west. When he arrived at Hangu Pass, he was ordered by Yin Xizhi to write the Tao Te Ching.
Laozi’s thought has a profound influence on the development of Chinese philosophy, and the core of his thought is simple dialectics. In politics, it advocates governing by doing nothing and teaching without speaking. In terms of power, we should pay attention to the principle that things must be reversed when they reach their extreme. In terms of self-cultivation, it pays attention to the practice of being humble and not competing with others. It is the ancestor of Taoist dual cultivation of life and life. Laozi's handed down work "Tao Te Ching" (also known as "Laozi") is one of the most widely published works in the world.
