The mainstream schools of Taoism included Huang Lao, Lao Tzu, Zhuang Tzu, Yang Zhu, etc. Among them, the Laozi and Zhuangzi School was centered on the theories of Laozi and Zhuangzi. Laozi summarized the essence of ancient Taoist thoughts to form a complete system theory. He regarded "Tao" as the highest philosophical category and believed that "Tao" was the highest truth of the world, the origin and basis of survival of all things in the universe. He advocated that Tao should follow nature and govern by inaction. There were elements of metaphysics and atheism. Chuang Tzu and his descendants criticized the philosophers of the Pre-Qin Dynasty. In the Yang-Zhu School, Yang Zhu himself "criticized" Mozi's core values. His school figures, such as Zi Huazi, sublated both social views and behaviors. Zhan He brought Yang Zhu's thoughts of "for myself" and "for yourself" to the extreme. In addition, the Four Sages of Taoism (Wenzi, Kangcangzi, Liezi, Zhuangzi) were the most influential descendants of Laozi.
