Your life is the ultimate virtue of mankind. There are many ways to improve your life. The main principle is that everything harmful to life should be stopped and everything beneficial to life should be done. "Therefore, the so-called person who respects life is called the whole life." Respect for life is to protect life.

Paying attention to people and life is the most important thought in Taoism and Taoist theory, and it is also one of its most valuable theoretical achievements. From Laozi's emphasis on "supporting one's life", "valuing one's life", "self-love" and "long life and long knowledge" to Zhuangzi's "supporting one's life", from Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals to Taiping Jing.
