Daoists believed that people should avoid interfearing with nature or each other. Legalisim rejected Daoism because it did not stress respect for authority.
Daoists believed people should find their own way, or Dao, to live in peace. They must learn to live with their inner feelings, too.

Daoists were followers of Daoism, an ancient Chinese philosophy and religion that emphasizes harmony with the natural order and the Dao, or Way. They believed in living a simple, humble life in accordance with nature, practicing self-reflection, and cultivating inner peace through practices like meditation and Tai Chi.
The goal for Daoists is to achieve harmony with the Dao, or the fundamental principle that underlies and unites all things in the universe. This involves living in accordance with nature, embracing simplicity, and cultivating inner peace and wisdom. Daoists seek to balance their lives through practices such as meditation, mindfulness, and ethical living, ultimately aiming for spiritual enlightenment and a deep connection with the cosmos.
Legalism believes in having clear laws to control people; Daoism believes nothing can be controlled.
