Taoists believe order comes from strict rules and harsh punishments. An emphasis is placed on the link between people and nature. Taoism teaches that this link lessens the need for rules and order, and leads one to a better understanding of the world. It evolved out of the shaman traditions of ancient China, around 5,000 years or so ago. It's a very gentle philosophy that focuses on following the flow of nature. Taoism's gods were The Jade Emperor who is the supreme ruler of Heavens, the hades and the protector of mankind according to Chinese folklore religion and the highest ranking deity of the Taoist pantheon and also there was Avalokitesvara. Temple rituals can be used to regulate ch'i and balance the flow of yin and yang both for individuals and the wider community. Other rituals involve prayers to various Taoist deities, meditations on talismans, and reciting and chanting prayers and texts.
