Abstract

A key concept of Chinese traditional culture is Dao, which incorporates, in some form and to some degree, all Chinese philosophical Daoism, religious Daoism, philosophy of the Book of Changes and Neo-confucianist major ideas. One who wants to study Chinese traditional philosophy and religion deeply, he must first understand the concept of Dao. Therefore, this paper will take the study of the concept of Dao in classical philosophical Daoism and religious Daoism as its objects of research, and the study will be conducted from two aspects: 1) the philosophical Daoism and religious Daoist texts regarding the concept of Dao; 2) the meaning of Dao.
