My name is Pau Ting, We, China, are in the "Era of Warring States". Currently, there's about 5 kingdoms, all trying to take China under its control. I'm going to teach you about Taoism. Made around 4th Centery B.C, I've heard that's it's called Taoism (Tao-chia), literally meaning: "The Way". A state religion, it was founded by Lao-tzu, it seems to be a very powerful religion. I cannot teach you much about Taoism because it's undefiniable; you must experence it. The main point of Taoism is its opposites and the harmony in which they share. For example, there can't be any love without hate, there can't be light without dark, there really can't be one thing without its opposite. In literal terms, it's Ying and Yang. The effect of this on China is that it became a huge religion in China, and parts of North America.
