Taoism sources Everything we know about tao-chia Taoism-its concepts and ideas-come from Tao-te ching (The Classic of Tao and Te) ascribed to Lao-tzu. This book explains what is Tao (the basic topic of tao-chia) and what should be the Taoist disciple's conduct in order to follow the Tao, which is his /her main goal.Chuang-tzu further developed the ideas of Tao-te ching by means of short stories, most of them fictitious, parables and metaphors.From Tao: The Watercourse Way). In short, tao-chia is a way of life which tries to accommodate the tendencies of nature. But this approach is not a pure return to Mother Nature, so familiar to our New Age ideology. Rather it is a wisdom acquired by simply observing the flow of natural events.
