In any Taoist area of China, it is common to see a statue of an old man, with white hair and beard, long ears drooping down towards his shoulders. He is Lao Tzu, the man most closely associated with Taoist belief. Lao Tzu was famous for his Tao Te Ching. The original meaning of the Chinese character “Tao” is “a road or path people walk upon;” however, the “Tao” of Lao Tzu is a sublimation and extension of that meaning….

Lao Tzu and Taoism

A Journey to the West is the fantastic mythological tale, which rightly occupies a preeminent place amongst the pantheon of classical Chinese literature. Sun Wukong or the Monkey King hero of the tale was a magical being possessed of considerable powers. He was also an incorrigible trickster. When he violated the laws of the Heavens, he was thrown into the so-called Crucible of the Eight Trigrams, where Taishang Laojun, a supernatural God, burned him in alchemical oil for 49 days. Taishang Laojun is none other but Lao Tzu. Ironically, despite such a characterization Lao Tzu himself and his teachings are very much anti-theistic in nature. He laid great emphasis not on supernatural beings in the Heavens but rather on the laws of nature and dedicated his whole life to seeking after the links in the cosmic chain that bound the Heavens and the Earth.

Taoism is the only spiritual belief system which is native to China. Its ultimate origins are shrouded in the remote mists of history, but Taoism has always been associated with one man who is Lao Tzu.

Taishang Laojun is a respectful name of Lao Tzu in Taoism, the only Chinese native religion. Of the sites cited by the UNESCO as the World Heritages in China, five are associated with Taoism.

In any Taoist area of China, it is common to see a statue of an old man, with white hair and beard, long ears drooping down towards his shoulders. This is the traditional representation of Lao Tzu the man most closely associated with Taoist belief.

Mirages are caused by the reflection of light. Like wind, rain and lighting they are a natural phenomenon that seem unremarkable to us, living as we do in a world where everything can be explained scientifically. But in ancient times, such phenomena could be understood only in terms of supernatural spirits. They saw the Heavens as a faraway: an incomparably wonderful world, the domain of wandering and various supernatural beings. While fearing and worshipping such supernatural beings people also dreamed themselves of becoming a member of this pantheon one day. But how could this be achieved?

前言/序言

Introduction

In a rural area in the northern part of China, a wedding is taking place. The ritual is a strange but revealing mixture of Eastern and Western traditions and cultures; of the modern and the ancient. The groom and the bride wear Western-style dress, not the traditional long gown or cheongsam. However, many of the rituals still observed in Chinese weddings date back thousands of years and are a living echo of ancient Chinese teachings. The bride and groom still make traditional obeisances to their parents and each other as well as to the Heavens and the Earth. Thus, some 20 percent of the world’s population still honor traditions and customs that date back over two millennia. When Christians marry, they commit themselves to each other before God. Chinese typically render these commitments to the Heavens and to the Earth. Such relations between the Heavens and the Earth that exist in Chinese culture provide a fascinating insight into the development of Chinese civilization.

Since ancient times, Chinese have all along held the Heavens and the Earth that they live on in great reverence. Thousands of years ago, when many peoples embraced a strong belief in Spirits who were thought of as the creators of all beings, the Chinese had begun to probe into astronomy as well as geography. There an old man for the first time unveiled the laws of nature and formed a cosmic view of worshiping nature, by symbolically comparing the relations between the Heavens and the Earth and men to a chain.

The old man, regarded by the world as the initiator of the Chinese Taoist school - the native religion of China - was called Lao Tzu.
