Taoist Texts

After reading this article I learned how these texts can help deepen my understanding of Chinese history. In the article it talked about Taoism. Taoism is the only indigenous religion for China. For many people Taoism means to just go with the flow. Over the years this idea of going with the flow has changed for many people and by changed I mean that no one really follows it anymore. Historians have put together many ancient Chinese texts. The huge collection of these texts is called the Taoist canon. In ancient China, there was an emperor that ruled over everyone else. But the taoists weren't a fan of this, they thought that everyone be equal.
