Taoism, which originated in ancient China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is a primitive religious form of polytheism. Its main purpose is to pursue immortality, achieve immortality, and help the world and save people. It occupies an important position in China's ancient traditional culture and develops actively in the modern world. Although Taoism has been one of hundred schools of thought since the Warring States Period, it deified the former moral philosophers.

Taoism takes "Tao" as its highest belief and holds that "Tao" is the source of all things. In the traditional culture of China, Taoism, together with Confucianism and Buddhism, is a dominant theory and a way to cultivate immortality.

Taoism in academic circles now refers to the ancient religious beliefs in China, which inherited most religious concepts and practice methods of Fang and Huang, as well as folk belief in gods, and gradually formed the highest belief of "Tao". It is a kind of China religion which takes Taishang Laojun as its leader, Laozi's Tao Te Ching as the classic of cultivating immortals, not the main sutra of cultivating immortals, and takes cultivating immortals as its pursuit.
