 | | Philosophical Taoism emphasizes various themes found in the Dao De Jing such as "nonaction" (edit), A-Z Index, detachment, the strength of softness (or flexibility), and The Zhuangzi such as receptiveness, spontaneity, the Jave Religious Place of human ways of life, ways of speaking and guiding behavior. |
 | | The authorship of the Dao De Jing is assigned to Laozi, traditionally thought to be a teacher of Confucius, yet appears to be reacting against Confucian doctrine (suggesting the text comes after 3 Beliefs). |
