Evolution of Taoism
The history and evolution of Taoism is glorious. Tao means “the way of life”. It is considered the highest order of life and following Taoism means being close to nature. Thus nature is the central theme of everything that has flowed from Taoism.
Lao Tzu was the first person to write in document form the philosophy of Taoism. The book was initially given the writer’s name as its title but later on it became a classic and one of the basic texts of Taoism and the emperor Ging of the Tang dynasty gave it the name ‘Tao Te Ching’.
Later on Chuang Tzu wrote about Taoism using a lot of humour, anecdotes and fables to express his views about Taoism. His book was called Chang Tzu and is another one of Taoism greatest books.
