Three doctrines are particularly important: Tao (way) is nonbeing (wu), the creative-destructive force that brings everything into being and dissolves everything into nonbeing; return (fu) is the destiny of everything--that is, everything, after completing its cycle, returns to nonbeing; and nonaction (wu wei), or action in harmony with nature, is the best way of life.
Often regarded as a corruption of Taoist philosophy, the Taoist religion began in the 3d century BC with such practices as ALCHEMY (the mixing of elixirs designed to ensure the immortality of the body).
The alchemy was carried out by Taoist priest-magicians at the court of Shih Huang-ti of the Qin (Ch'in) dynasty (221-207 BC).
