Laozi and Zhuangzi, the products of China's Taoist enlightenment thought, belong to the most precocious and widespread enlightenment thought in the world. In any case, they are far from the real religion, and always have a strong critical spirit, humanistic care and countless colors (this does not prevent Huang Lao from evolving into a religious self-organization at the end of Han Dynasty after Yang Gong School replaced Huang Lao School).
Whenever the political situation is turbulent and the society is chaotic, Confucianism loses its effectiveness, while Taoism keeps pace with the times. Because Taoism does not hold lofty moral principles, it can go deep into human nature, get to the point of the current disadvantages and thoroughly investigate the root causes of unrest.
It faces up to the unfortunate fate of human beings, can understand people's anxiety, and can give great comfort and realistic care to people who are traumatized. Therefore, the turmoil in China in the past dynasties was a heavy burden for Confucianism, and the result was often borne by Taoism. The Taoist figure is Zhuangzi.
