Taoism advocates the respects for individual differences and the diversity of life in both human beings and nature from its origin till now. This immemorial and mysterious oriental philosophy seems hardly to be presented in the films. However, Lee Ang did quite well. To some extent, Ang is the best oriental storyteller in western film industry. In this essay, I will choose three of Ang’s Films to explain how Taoism exists in these works.展开更多

This discrimination encompasses both the conservation of the traditional scholarofficials’ conception and the launch of the Chinese Renaissance by the intellectuals of the New Culture. However, there is now a trend toward Taoism being the seed of native science in China since the 1930 s. This trend has started to destigmatize Taoism. In fact, the image of Taoism, either negative or positive, is shaped by science. The case study presented here helps us to better understand the religious views in the ideology of modern China and remind us that the image of Taoism from the perspective of science history is not its true color. What is more, two levels of "science view" have been formed in modern China: at the level of ideological structure, the traditional principle of "craft at climax can be closer to the Tao" and at the level of concrete connotation, the real meaning of either Tao or craft has undergone a rudimental change.展开更多
