Religious Daoism and Chinese Culture

Religious Daoism is the original native religion of China. It originated and developed in

Chinese Culture, and at the same time, exerted a great influence in the formation of

Chinese Culture. Its influences are apparent in almost all the aspects of Chinese life,

particularly in the fields of sciences of chemistry, mineralogy, boatny, zoology , and

pharmaceutics in East Asia. In conclusion the Daoist idea of immortals has been the

constant theme of Chinese authors: Chinese arts are also closely associated with

religious Daoism. For example things like mirrors, pottery, graphic guides, calligraphy,

figure painting etc..
