Li Bai also believes in Taoism.
Taoism, which originated in ancient China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is a primitive religious form of polytheism. Its main purpose is to pursue immortality, achieve immortality, and help the world and save people. It occupies an important position in China's ancient traditional culture and develops actively in the modern world. Although Taoism has been one of hundred schools of thought since the Warring States Period, it deified the former moral philosophers. Cults didn't appear until the end of the Han Dynasty, and Shi Tian of Yizhou (now Sichuan) addressed Lao Zi as a gentleman. By the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the religious form of Taoism was gradually improved. Laozi Li Er (the Grand Priest) was the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, in which Laozi was honored as a saint with a round avenue and a Grand Priest.
