Taoism (Chinese: 道教) is a philosophy native to China . It began in the 4th century BCE and has its sources in the Tao-te-ching and Zhuang-zi by the philosopher Lao-tsi . In fact, earlier Tao was not a religion but a philosophy and lifestyle, and later after Buddhism reached China, Tao included many beliefs of Buddhists and proceeded in the form of Vajrayana sect .

There have been non-violent conflicts between Buddhism and Taoism from time to time. Now many Chinese consider both Buddhism and Taoism to be one. According to a survey, 50% to 80% of the population in China believes in Buddhism. It may have 50% Buddhist and 30% Tao population. The supreme goddess and deity are Yin and Yang . Rituals are performed to worship the deities and animals and other things are sacrificed. Most of the things that originated from China, such as Chinese cuisine, Chinese alchemy, Chinese Kung-Fu, Feng-Shui , Chinese medicine, etc. have been related to Taoism in one way or another. Because Taoism is not an organized religion, it is difficult to determine the number of followers.
