Daoism in China

Daoism is China's indigenous religion. Taught by Laozi who lived around 500BC, it advocates living in harmony with Nature and 'following The Way'. Confucius, one of Laozi's greatest adherents, went on to develop his own philosophy along Daoist principles. He believed in social harmony, hierarchy and universal education - beliefs which have shaped Chinese life and thought to this day.
