The major religions in China are Taoism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity.
Taoism was founded on the teachings of Laozi, a sage born in 604 B.C. in present-day Henan Province.
His teachings are incorporated in a profound book Daode Jing which Taoists regard as the final authority and doctrines of the religion.
Of these, Taoism is a native religion, the others having been introduced from foreign lands.
