Considering the widespread resurrection of ancient cultural backgrounds, the importance of ancestral traditions is receiving a growing amount of attention. Tao Te Ching, as an exemplary of the ancient commonly accepted Taoism lifestyle and culture, has undergone through periods of blossoming, stillness, and resurgence. In contrast with Confucius, Laozi’s pedagogical identification has not received widespread support throughout the span of time, and his scholarship on the educational principles found within the Tao Te Ching is typically credited to earlier philosophical pursuits rather than achieving autonomous standing. As a result, further investigation into the educational concepts included in Tao Te Ching might assist to maximize the significance of Tao Te Ching in educational opportunities.
