 For many centuries existed alongside Confucianism Taoism in China, exerting a strong influence on the lives of both intellectual and spiritual as well as Chinese. In many cases it is the antithesis of Confucianism, he puts great emphasis on personal development, rather than considering it as an element in society.
Taoism focuses on the spiritual life and the occult, and also minimizes the Classics emphasis on rituals and morality. Taoism has always been an escape from the harshness Confucian. In a broader sense are a reflection of the two sides of human nature. It is quite possible that a person approves of the two philosophies: one for work and family responsibilities, and the other for relaxation and artistic exploration. According to the first Taoists, peace can only be achieved through the disposal of a material ambition and the quest for truth in the careful observation of the internal and external world. The main motto of Lao -: "Those who know do not speak, and those who say - do not know." Ethics taoist was steeped in the spirit of individualism and based on a return to small, self-sustaining group of free individuals. Devotees felt the stress and tension as a result of loss of communication with nature and reality. Searched in all of the final unity and harmony. Taoism says the view that the entity should not oppose the dao (nature, the order of nature, the regularity of the universe) that they should obey him and act in accordance with its rules: the insistent pursuit of power is unwise and futile, Taoism recommends people to simplicity and naturalness, not Never use violence, and strive for money and position. Laoz was a very respected by followers of Confucianism. In many cases, the views of Taoism have been incorporated into Confucian philosophy, and influenced in this way for millions of people who did not confess to Taoism.
