"Daoism" is one of the two incredible indigenous philosophical conventions of China. As an English expression, Daoism compares to both Daojia ("Dao family" or "school of the Dao"), an early Han administration (c. 100s B.C.E.) term which depicts alleged "philosophical" writings and scholars, for example, Laozi and Zhuangzi, and Daojiao ("educating of the Dao"), which portrays different supposed "religious" developments dating from the late Han administration (c. 100s C.E.) forward. In this manner, "Daoism" envelops thought and practice that occasionally are seen as "philosophical," as "religious," or as a mix of both.
