Chinese Culture; Taoism doctrine and religion
 Chinese culture involves many different religions and philosophies. A peculiarity of Chinese religions is that they are mutually exclusive and can be taken simultaneously for different functions throughout life. Each town has the religion inherited from the ancestors. This aphorism is widespread in China more than in other countries.  Scholars saythat primitive religion of the Chinese, and people leaving near them, was the ancestor worship, and the force of nature, which they thought themselves endowed with spirits.  Confucianism and Taoism precisely these two primitive religions have obviously permeated both philosophical and religious systems more important in Chinese history.
Taoism was created about 2500 years ago in China.  Since itsinception it has two complementary aspects: one related to social life, human relations, moral values and the government, on the other hand the mystic, which aims to transcend daily life and society, to obtain a higher plane of consciousness and become a sage, a visionary who has managed to merge and understand the universe.  The sage is related in the spiritual and earthly events.  Unites bothaspects: the intuitive wisdom and practical knowledge or contemplation and social life. The Chinese for its tranquility compares with the image of the wise and their movements with the King’s image.
In the sixth century BC, Chinese philosophy was developed in two very different schools, these were Confucianism and Taoism. On one hand, Confucianism was in charge of social organization, common senseand practical knowledge, this philosophy was responsible for creating an education system with strict rules and attitudes needed to live in society.

Taoism forits part is devoted to the observation of nature and the discovery of Tao, this philosophy followed by the oldest in order to obtain happiness, achieved with the spontaneity and freedom from all social convention. Fifty years ago, Taoism was one of the strongest religions in China. With the advent of communism to China was a campaign to eradicate the religions that were not associated withcommunism, decreasing the number of believers in the country, and spreading it worldwide, to the point now is difficult to assess its popularity in many countries today there are schools providing Taoism.

But it could well have been its compiler, because the onset could be many centuries before. It is said that Lao Tzu was a contemporary of Confucius; the latter described him as the dragon rode the winds and clouds. Lao Tse, for some lived in the sixth century B.C. and others in the fourth century, in the period of the Hundred Schools of Thought andWarring States, occupied an important place in the emperor's court, but to see so much corruption organized several trips to the Far West. Lao Tse suggests a way of salvation, away from all the sensory and walk to the pure, the way I call it the Tao.
Taoism is a series of revelations which comprise a number of issues that coincide with other doctrines these aspects are: the naturalness, vitality,peace, inaction (wu-wei), flexibility, openness, spontaneity and relativism in the different ways of living, to express themselves and behave.
