Taoism was born in China, it is said from a certain Lao Tzu who wrote the Tao Te Ching, also called Dao De Jing, a book that everyone has undoubtedly heard of. But we will see later that the origins of Taoism go back well before the appearance of its emblematic figure. Before talking about the Tao, you should know that China has two other spiritual movements which are Buddhism and Confucianism. Confucianism is a set of rules of conduct and benevolence, rules of morality, ethics and justice, which govern the way of behaving in family, in society and in politics. Buddhism originated in India and was created by Siddhartha Gautama, a prince said to have left rank, nobility and wealth to devote himself to enlightenment. The practice, in its most ancestral form, focuses on meditation and mindfulness. The Chinese form, like virtually all forms, has liberally extended the founding principles, such as with the addition of philosophical dialogue and devotional practices. Taoism was born well before the arrival of Confucianism and Buddhism in China. Taoism means “the study of the Tao” or “study of the way”. The Tao itself is difficult to define because it is a reality beyond words and concepts, it can only be experienced. We differentiate between knowledge and knowledge because we can know something but without necessarily having experienced it, in which case we do not know it, it has not been experienced intimately. Taoism is a natural path in the sense that it is based on introspection and on the observation of nature, its functioning, and its cycles. By nature, we do not mean only the bucolic side of nature but in its broader interpretation by integrating the cosmos, human nature and society. Taoism has its roots in shamanism and in meditation practiced by reclusive philosophers, by forest and mountain hermits. It is from these practices that the energetic gymnastics known as “Chi Kung” appeared, which then joined Chinese medicine. Shamanism was originally mainly practiced by women, so it is not surprising that strong equality between men and women is required. We could even go so far as to say that the bases are matriarchal! This remained true in the ancestral form, however since Taoism succumbed to Confucian and governmental patriarchy this rule has “degraded”.art Asia arte Asia Art Asia Kunst AsienPart delivered with an invoice and a certificate of authenticity.Taoism was born well before the arrival of Confucianism and Buddhism in China.
