"Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river."
-Laozi
-Laozi
Daoism is a very peculiar religion in terms of its origins and history. It did not start at a certain point unlike other religions where it is clear when the religion was founded. Even though people consider Laozi, the most famous Daoist teacher, as the founder of Daoism, some people still disagree with this opinion. Daoism also has been conventionally a very static religion. The main principle of Daoism is to go with the flow in a harmony with the nature, so it is not so surprising to find out how little conflicts Daoists had with others. Despite these difficulties, the belief has important figures who had contributed significantly to the religion as well as its series of events and changes.
