Daoism is a philosophical and spiritual tradition originating in ancient China. It emphasizes living in harmony with the Dao, or the Way, which is the natural order of the universe. Daoism promotes simplicity, humility, and a deep connection to nature.

Confucianism and Daoism are both Chinese philosophies of living. They differ in that Confucianism believes in setting good examples to be followed by others, while Daoism believes in the philosophy of inaction.
It is estimated that there are approximately 12-15 million followers of Daoism worldwide. The majority of Daoists are in China, with significant populations in Taiwan, Singapore, and other East Asian countries.
Daoism had a significant influence on Chinese society during its dynastic era. It provided a counterbalance to Confucianism by emphasizing the importance of living in harmony with nature and the Dao, or the way of the universe. Daoist beliefs and practices, such as meditation, qi cultivation, and the pursuit of immortality, shaped various aspects of Chinese culture, including medicine, art, and literature. Daoist ideas also influenced the development of Chinese philosophy, political thought, and social customs.
The basic text of Daoism is the "Tao Te Ching," written by Laozi. It is a fundamental text that explores the philosophy of Daoism, emphasizing living in harmony with the natural flow of the universe and following the way (Tao) to achieve balance and simplicity in life.

Confucianism emphasized social order, respect for authority, and moral values, which greatly influenced Chinese society and governance. Daoism, on the other hand, focused on harmony with nature, individual spiritual growth, and the concept of "wu wei" or non-action. Both philosophies played significant roles in shaping Chinese culture, politics, and ethics throughout history.
