The Taoist asceticism and the Chinese learned people's idealistic attitude towards life

Taoism takes achieving perfect temperament and immortality as its loftiest pursuit of asceticism. Taoism helped the ancient Chinese learned people establish a celestial and vulgarity-free world in the spiritual sense and provides them with the theories and methods for their realistic life. Taoism promotes not only vulgarity-free temperament but also pure, healthy and natural life, hence helped the ancient Chinese learned people establish their optimistic, out-going and transcendental world in both psychological and physiological senses.
