    Taoism is a pre-Qin philosophical school represented by Lao and Zhuang, and Taoism is a religion formed in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty with the belief in cultivating Taoism and becoming immortals, inheriting and developing Taoism. Taoist philosophy is an important source of thought for Taoism.

    Lao and Zhuang are regarded as ancestors and immortals by Taoism; Their writings are revered as classics, and the Tao Te Ching is a lesson that must be recited by believers; The Tao expounded in "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi" is the basic belief of Taoism, and the Taoist doctrine and ideas and immortal magic all originate here. Tao is regarded as the root of all things in heaven and earth, and Lao Tzu is revered as the embodiment of Tao, Taishang Laojun, and becomes the ancestor of chaos, the parent of heaven and earth, the master of yin and yang, and the emperor of all gods. The Taoist Sanqing Zun God and the immortal lineage that includes the heavenly gods, the earthly gods, and the human and ghost are also derived from Taoism.

    Taoism gets its name because its basic belief is the Tao.

    The core Taoist idea of becoming an immortal and various cultivation techniques also have the origin of Taoist mystical ideas and health preservation techniques. Lao Tzu has remarks such as "longevity and long-term vision" and "the god of grains is immortal"; In the book of Zhuangzi, there are thoughts about "true people", "supreme people", "gods and men" and their "not eating grains, sucking wind and drinking dew, not wetting water, not getting hot when entering fire", riding on clouds, and resisting flying dragons. Taoism inherited and developed these ideas, believing that the Tao could be obtained through cultivation, and for this purpose it practiced a series of Taoist exercises and Taoist techniques, such as taking food, practicing qi, staying in the room, and keeping the body.
