De la contraportada

The Tao, or the 'Way', has been one of the principle influences on Chinese civilisation and culture for the last 5,000 years. No aspect of Chinese life, from the concern for good food, health or satisfying sex, to the search for moral and spiritual insight, has been untouched by Taoist thought and practice. This complete introduction sets out the fundamental principles of Taoism and explains:
• What Taoism is and how it has developed
• Why Taoism is not just a faith but a complete way of living
• How Taoism is practised through arts such as acupuncture, tai chi and chi gong.
