Features: Taoism is the only indigenous religion among the existing Chinese religions, with a history spanning nearly two thousand years. Its ideology and culture have been seamlessly integrated with traditional Chinese culture through long historical development, yet it retains its own distinct character and features. Many of its ideas and concepts, through millennia of continuation and elaboration, have deeply influenced the thinking, living, and behavioral patterns of the Chinese people. This book is part of the series "Taoism in Modern Perspectives," collecting key and systematic achievements in Taoism.
