Taoism is a religion born in China, formed in the 2nd century A.D., with a history of more than 1,700 years. Taoism is an all-encompassing religion, which was gradually formed on the basis of the ancient Chinese concept of the worship of ghosts and gods, and on the theoretical basis of Huang Lao's thought, inherited the gods and immortals and the magic of the formulae since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. [1] Taoist classics refer to the voluminous scriptures and books accumulated by Taoism in the course of its long-term development. The contents of Taoist scriptures are all-encompassing, not only recording Taoism's doctrines and teachings, religious rules and precepts, cultivation methods and rituals, but also preserving the precious information of ancient Chinese philosophy, literature, medicine, health science, chemistry, music, geography and other disciplines. Taoist scriptures are a treasure trove of traditional Chinese culture.
