What is it?
Taoism is a philosophical and religious tradition that
 emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao.            The
 term Tao means "way", "path" or "principle", and can also
 be found in Chinese philosophies and religions other than
 Taoism. In Taoism, however, Tao denotes something that is
 both the source and the driving force behind everything
 that exists.
The history of taoism
The keystone work of literature in Taoism is the Tao Te Ching,
  a concise and ambiguous book containing teachings
  attributed to Laozi. Together with the writings of Zhuangzi,
  these texts build the philosophical foundation of Taoism.
  Taoism has had profound influence on Chinese culture in
  the course of the centuries.
Ethics
1 Tao and Te :
• Tao - literally means "way", but can also be interpreted as road,
   channel.
• Te - the active expression of Tao is called Te.
2 Wu-wei - Wei refers to any intentional or deliberated action,
   while wu carries the meaning of "there is no ..." or "lacking, without".
3 Naturalness - is regarded as a central value in Taoism. It describes the
   "primordial state" of all things.
4 Three Treasures - are basic virtues in Taoism comprising Compassion,
   Moderation, and Humility. They are also translated as kindness,
   simplicity and modesty.
Cosmology
Taoist cosmology is based on the beliefs of the School of
   Naturalists.
In this belief, the Universe is seen as being in a constant process
   of re-creating itself, as everything that exists is a mere aspect
   of qi, which "condensed, becomes life; diluted, it is indefinite
   potential". Qi is in a perpetual transformation between its
   condensed and diluted state.
Symbols and images
a) Taijitu is a term which
   refers to the
   Chinese symbol Yin and
   Yang ( Taiji ).
b) Ba gua - The ba gua are eight trigrams used in
  Taoist cosmology to represent the fundamental
  principles of reality, seen as a range of eight
  interrelated concepts.

c) Big dipper - The Big Dipper, also
  known as the Plough or
  the Saptarishi (after the seven
  rishis), is an asterism of
  seven stars that has been
  recognized as a distinct grouping
  in     many      cultures.    The
  component are the seven
  brightest stars of the Ursa Major
  constellation.
