Daoism

Daoism
Daoism is a philosophical, ethical or religious tradition of Chinese origin that emphasizes living in harmony with the Dao (also Tao). The term Dao means "way", "path", or "principle", and can also be found in Chinese philosophies and religions other than Daoism.

In this world, Daoism has splintered into three distinct sects, each placing greater emphasis on a certain Daoist Philosopher-prophet.

Confucianism (Confucius)
Confucianism places greater emphasis on the teachings of the Philosopher-prophet Confucius.

Laoism (Lao Tzun)
Laoism places greater emphasis on the teachings of the Philosopher-prophet Lao Tzun.

Zhuangism (Zhuangzin)
Zhuangism places greater emphasis on the teachings of the Philosopher-prophet Zhuangzi.

He is credited with writing Zhuangzi, which expresses a philosophy of skepticism, arguing that life is limited and knowledge to be gained is unlimited. He also espouses a non-interventionist approach to life, stating"'The world does not need governing; in fact it should not be governed. Good order results spontaneously when things are let alone.'"
