Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

In the Taoist philosophy of life, Tao is the fountainhead of everything, and the relationship between human beings and Tao is that of the special and the universal, the concrete and the abstract. Tao and human life are linked together by essence, vital breath and spirit, the three important categories of the Taoist philosophy of life. Taoism doesn't believe in reincarnation and values the present life, so in Taoist philosophy, life is the most precious. Starting from this, Taoism tries many ways to prolong human life. This philosophical emphasis on human life still plays its due role in the world today.
