<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[file:Taoism 道教.JPEG|thumb|200px|Taoism 道教]]<br /> '''Taoism''' ('''道教'''), native to [[China]], has a history of more than 1,700 years. China now has over 1,500 [[Taoist]] temples and more than 25,000 Taoist priests and [[nuns]].<br /> <br /> Taoism is the only religious doctrine that actually originated in China. As with [[Buddhism]], a philosophical, then religious tradition, it has, with [[Confucianism]], shaped Chinese life for more than 2,000 years. The doctrine derives from the philosophical ideas of [[Laozi]], an outstanding [[Chinese philosopher]]. The key concept in Taoism revolves around &quot;the Way,&quot; variously interpreted as either a philosophical or religious guidance system for all people interested in Taoism. At one time, it was used as a governing tool, but today it survives both as a religious tradition and as a philosophy. The most common representation of Taoist theology is the circular [[Yin Yang]] figure: a symbol of existing opposites in perfect balance. When they are both equally present, all is calm; when one outweighs the other, confusion and chaos appear.<br /> <br /> [[Category:religions]]</div>
