They embodied the Taoist concept of controlling and utilizing natural gods. 2. ** Cultural Origins ** - Taoism was formed at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was based on the ancient primitive religion of China and absorbed the theory of Yin and Yang and the five elements and the idea of ascending to immortality in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
