China's Chou Dynasty, its underlying quietist principles, its
emergence as a major religion, various interpretation of its core
texts, including both Eastern and Western interpretations, key
Taoist concepts, and much more. It also provides a fascinating
glimpse of Taoism in contemporary China.The ideal guide for readers

of insight for those with an interest in modern Chinese culture and
beliefs
