taoist
A Taoist is a follower or adherent of Taoism, an ancient philosophical and religious tradition from China that emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao. The Tao, translated as 'The Way', refers to the underlying natural order or principle governing the universe. Taoist philosophy teaches simplicity, humility, and the path of least resistance, while religious Taoism includes a variety of ritualistic and esoteric practices. Taoists may follow traditional Chinese practices such as feng shui, martial arts, Chinese medicine, and meditation.
