The story tells of a man named Laozi, who lived in the 6th century BC and his teachings are the basis of Taoism. This religion believes that we must put aside our desires for ambition and seek harmony with the forces of nature. Interestingly enough, Taoism is a very passive religion that strives for peace. One of the main symbols associated with this religion is the Ying Yang symbol. The yin represents the male and the yang represents the female. If you look closely at this symbol, you will see that each side of the symbol has a little bit of the counterpart on it. Taoism is a religion founded over 2000 years ago. It is both a religion and a philosophy, based on the belief that they lead simple and honest lives, with little intrusion into the happenings of society. They also believe that their way of life is based on the Tao. With the Tao and belief system, they live with calm, passive and humble personalities. Taoists do not agree with politics, administration, or elaborate rituals. Basically, this means that they like to live in areas that have little or no surrounding rural areas. Since Taoists do not like to live in society, there is no emphasis on people's status, intelligence, or possessions. They try to govern with as little visibility as possible and with an attitude of service. They chose to take few actions involving the people and treat other countries non-aggressively.
