Taoism is also referred to as Daoism. It is not a religion but more of a philosophy which promotes harmony and holiness.
Taoism is a philosophical and spiritual tradition that originated in China. It emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao, which is often translated as "the way" or "the path." Taoism promotes simplicity, spontaneity, and aligning with the natural flow of life.
No.
The Tao that can be practiced is not the true Tao. Oh, wait, you were asking about "toaism", and I don't know about that.

Yes, Taoism has several festivals. Some of the main ones include the Spring Festival (also known as Chinese New Year), Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day), Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Double Ninth Festival. These festivals are celebrated with various customs and rituals that are influenced by Taoist beliefs and practices.
Toaism is the parent - I Ching is the son. This mean that I Ching is one of the basic foundation of Taoism. Tao is the way of human and all beings - I Ching is the way of nature.
Taoism is all about Man's relationship with nature, while Confucianism is concerned with Man's relationship with his fellow man. Also, Taoism is polytheistic while Confucianism is monotheistic.
China's three major religions are Toaism, Confucianism and Buddhism. So here goes:Taoism has a theory, but scientist have been hotly debating for centuries what the ancient writings on the subject mean exactly. So today's Taoist Chinese do not bother much with a religious creation theoryConfucianism is more a philosophy than a religion and does not acknowledge any (creator) godsBuddhism holds that the Universe has neither beginning nor end, so it has no concept of an original creator.So it's safe to say that the Chinese are unburdened with religious theories or stories on the creation of the universe and simply go along with the overwhelming majority of today's phycisists who tell us that the present universe started with the Big Bang 40 billion years ago.
Buddha's teachings are based on four noble truths, which to summarize are basically that life on earth is suffering, this suffering is caused by desire, there is a way to overcome the suffering and desire, and by following the eight-fold path suffering can be eliminated. the eightfold path is about self discipline, meditation is common and Buddhists believe in karma (the cycle of life, death, rebirth) which only an enlightened Buddha can be free from. All human beings can strive to become enlightened. Zen Buddhism is a form of Buddhism most influenced by Tao Taoism doesn't have any specific leader or any rituals like other religions do. It asserts that nature acts with spontaneity and one needs to therefore cultivate naturalness and spontaneity. Harmony with Tao (Tao="the way") can't be followed or taught, and it's all about personal balance and inner stillness. Meditation is really big in Taoism too. Taoism isn't really like any other religion, but both religions have to do with a personal journey (Buddhists journey for enlightenment, Taoists journey to be harmonious with the ways of nature), and meditation plays a significant role in both religions. that's about it though
