Taoism Article

Based on the article I learned many different ways to better understand the early Chinese history.  Taoism is a philosophy that tells you to go with the flow. The philosophy is saying that everything will happen for a reason and you don't have to work or anything and you will eventually just get back to the orginal ending point. The political structure from along time ago is still a little bit relevant today. But it is not in all of China, they found Taoism in Yanna. They had Taoist names and alike social structures. They don't know how it traveled all of the way there but there were non Chinese members so they could have came from somewhere else. There are no physical tracings of Taoism probably because they did not write religion on objects. The Taoist priests are claiming to be 65 generations from the founder of Taoism. They learn this information though texts, but different than usual. They look through the texts to find people's names but usually ignore the religion.
