Lao Tzu founded Taoism after leaving his job in the Chinese emperor's library. He wrote the Tao Te Ching, which explained his philosophy of wu-wei or going with the flow of life. Taoism teaches that everything shares a life force made of the complementary opposites of yin and yang. Today, about 5 million people practice Taoism in parts of China, Japan, and other Asian countries.
