Features: "The True Classic of the Profound and Transcendent Virtue" (also known as the "Liezi") is known in the Daoist Canon. Its ideology is eclectic and may have been adopted by Daoism later as a classic. Its main themes advocate for a hedonism of natural indulgence, a naturalism that ignores rituals and humanistic norms, and an idealism of becoming a deity or immortal.
