Features: In general terms, the philosophy of life is a modern and contemporary philosophy. This is because in the West, philosophy has evolved from traditional rationalism and scientism into systematic doctrines of irrationalism and humanism. More precisely, it has developed from the theory of intellectual dualism to a holistic theory that emphasizes emotions and will. Taoist philosophy of life has a historically formed basis and is self-grown in China. Therefore, it has its historical foundation and its own unique characteristics. It is difficult to determine the exact formation date of Taoist philosophy of life, as it was not completed by a single thinker, but it must have formed during a certain period. The emergence of religious forms did not necessarily lead to the philosophy of life, although Taoism has always harbored profound philosophical concepts of life since its inception. After the Six Dynasties period, Taoist theory was crude and immature, with more religious doctrines and regulations than philosophical principles. The few philosophical explanations provided were also lacking in philosophical support. In intellectual debates with Buddhism, Taoism was often at a disadvantage.
