This is the true power of humanity to pass down beneficial information from children to children until it becomes wisdom they can use to help all people.

Taoisms roots are much older than the warring kingdom era. They go back to the founding of the I Ching and the I Ching has roots in the Afrikan Ifa system which is thousands of years old.

Some historians say that much of daoism is from Buddhism. 😊😊😊😊😊
