The origin of Taoism can be traced back to Emperor Taigu. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Laozi collected the great wisdom of ancient sages, summed up the essence of ancient Taoist thought, and formed a moral theory of inaction. It marks the formal formation of this Taoist thought. Since then, it has become the supreme treasure of governing the country in past dynasties.

With Huangdi, Yi Yin, Taigong, Xin Qiji, Xunzi, Laozi, Wen Zi, Liezi, Zhuangzi, Guan Zi and Guo Guan as the main representatives, they advocate "doing nothing, being simple, moving with the times, changing with things" and so on. It is particularly important that although Taoism has classic works, its thoughts are not limited to works.

The formation of Taoist thought takes summing up, developing and writing classics as the main path. Every leap in thought has gone through an extremely long period of accumulation, once again highlighting the vitality of Taoism.

Taoist figures can make contributions to the WTO; In the long river of history, whenever a disaster comes, Taoist figures challenge the chaotic source of the disaster with a lofty spirit, punish evil and promote good, and set things right, thus stirring up many legendary chapters.

After the data was expanded, Taoism was divided into different factions during the Warring States period, among which six were famous. In addition to Zhuangzi School, Yang Zhu School, Huanglao School, Tiandao School, Laozi School and other schools all flourished, among which Huanglao School was the most prosperous.

At that time, Huang Lao's thought not only became Tian Ji's thought of governing the country, but also exerted great influence on various schools of thought through a hundred schools of thought contending. Moreover, it also played a certain role in the Qin Dynasty during the Chu and Zhou Dynasties, so that Mr. Meng at the end of the Warring States Period said that "the prosperity of Huang Lao alone overwhelmed a hundred families".
