Features: Those who are familiar with history know that since Laozi founded the Taoist school, to several hundred years later when Zhang Daoling formally established Taoism, Taoist thought has already permeated the very essence of our national ideology. There are many elements in Taoism that are truly captivating. Laozi's Dao De Jing is simple yet profound, directly pointing to the essence of wisdom. Zhuangzi's unrestrained and boundless imagination further elevates Taoism to a high starting point. The spiritual essence of immortals in Taoism is a pure form of freedom. Echoing the open-mindedness of the Han and Tang dynasties, Taoism also possesses an inclusive and accommodating temperament. Both the Han and Tang dynasties were followers of Taoism, perhaps precisely for this reason, Taoism acquired a grand and expansive aura. Today, as a religion, Taoism is no longer flourishing, but its essence has deeply infiltrated the very core of a nation's bloodline, invisible yet powerful. Illustrated Guide to Taoist Deities, Immortals, and Auspicious Gods strives to express and preserve the Taoist spirit that has been integrated into our national bloodline.
