 | | In the realm of Dao, principles are characterized by “naturalness” (ziran) and “nonaction” (wuwei). | | | In the eyes of the faithful, the Dao is a divine reality, and Laozi is seen as the personification of the Dao. | | | Heshanggong revealed to the emperor his true identity as a divine emissary sent by the “Supreme Lord of the Dao” -- i.e., the divine Laozi -- to teach him. |

| | Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching) is the most important canon of Daoist philosophy, as well as the most important scripture of the Daoist religion. | | | The supreme god of Daoist religion was accumulated by Qi. | | | At the beginning of the universe the dao (tao) is undifferentiated: "There was something undifferentiated and yet complete, which existed before heaven and earth" (25), that is Dao. |

| | Dao is thought up as the mysterious secret of the universe, it could be the storehouse of "all things", like the pivotal worship centre in the south-west corner in the [old Chinese] house. | | | So when dao is employed to rule the kingdom, spiritual beings will lose their supernatural grip and cease to harm common people. | | | Dao gave birth to the one; the one gave birth successively to two things, three things, up the everything, everybody and the whole world we know. |

| | Even though their disciples were hungry, they never forgot the rest of the world, being determined that everyone should live; even though the world refused to listen, they never stopped asking to be seen, working for the external goal of outlawing aggression and weapons and for the internal goal of lessening desires. | | | Some scholars place Lao-zi in the fourth century BC, because he is not mentioned by anyone else until then. | | | This period of a "hundred contending schools" began with Confucius and an obscure philosopher named Lao-zi, who left a short book that has had an immense influence on China and the world called the Dao De Jing and which became the basis for the Daoist philosophy and religion. |
