Taoist research

Taoist research involves studying Taoism, an ancient Chinese philosophy that emphasizes harmony with nature, simplicity, and living in accordance with the Tao—an underlying natural flow of the universe. Scholars analyze texts like the Tao Te Ching, explore Taoist practices such as meditation and qigong, and investigate their cultural influence. This research aims to understand Taoism’s spiritual principles, its historical development, and its relevance to health, well-being, and ecological harmony today. It combines philosophical analysis, cultural studies, and sometimes scientific inquiry into Taoist methods and their effects.
