Taoist introductory booksThere were many introductory books on Taoism, the most influential of which was the Tao Te Ching. This book was written by the founder of Taoism, Lao Tzu. It was regarded as an important work before the separation of the various schools of thought in ancient China. The core idea of Tao Te Ching was that Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. It emphasized the importance of Tao and believed that Tao was the origin and foundation of all things in the universe. Other than the Tao Te Ching, there were nine other important Taoist academic works, such as the Nanhua Jing, the Chongxu Scripture, the Wenshi Scripture, and the Huangting Scripture. Together, these books formed a rich knowledge system of Taoism, providing people with a comprehensive understanding of Taoist beliefs and practices.

an introductory course in metaphysicsThe introductory course of metaphysics could be carried out from the following aspects:
1. ** Basic Concepts **
- [Yin and Yang: This is the basic concept of metaphysics.] In the Book of Changes, a long horizontal line represented Yang, and two short horizontal lines represented Yin. Yin and Yang had many characteristics. The characteristics of Yin could be weak, quiet, peaceful, etc., while the characteristics of Yang could be firm, fierce, active, irritable, etc., and Yin and Yang had the characteristics of intersection and transformation. When judging yin and yang, one could not simply rely on a single standard. For example, men were not absolutely yang. They could be distinguished according to the characteristics of other objects in specific situations.
- ** Five Elements **, including Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. The five elements have their own corresponding attributes, such as the five virtues.(Wood virtue is benevolence, metal virtue is righteousness, fire virtue is courtesy, water virtue is wisdom, earth virtue is faith), five flavors (Wood is sour, metal is pungent, fire is bitter, water is salty, and earth is sweet), five elements produce and restrain (Wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to metal, metal gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood; wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, fire restrains metal, metal restrains wood), Five Elements Direction (Wood in the East, Fire in the South, Gold in the West, Water in the North, Earth in the Center), Five Elements Color (Wood green, fiery red, golden white, water black, khaki), corresponding numbers of the five elements (Water: 1 and 6; Fire: 2 and 7; Wood: 3 and 8; Metal: 4 and 9; Earth 5 and 10), the Five Elements corresponded to the Eight Trigrams (Metal corresponded to Qian and Dui, Fire corresponded to Li, Wood corresponded to Zhen and Xun, Water corresponded to Kan, Earth corresponded to Gen and Kun), the Five Elements corresponded to the Four Seasons (Wood corresponded to Spring, Fire corresponded to Summer, Metal corresponded to Autumn, Water corresponded to Winter, and Earth corresponded to the last month of each season), and the Five Elements corresponded to Spirit Beasts (Green Dragon Wood in the East, Vermilion Bird Fire in the South, White Tiger Gold in the West, Black Tortoise Water in the North, Soaring Serpent, Gouchen Central Earth), and so on.
- ** Ten days dry **: namely A, B, C, D, E, G, G, Xin, Ren, Gui. Among them, A and B are wood, C and D are fire, Wuji is earth, Geng and Xin are gold, Ren and Gui are water, and A is yang wood, B is yin wood, etc. There are yin and yang attributes.
2. ** Learning related knowledge **
- [Divination]: Start by learning how to draw divinatory symbols and learn about Fuxi's divinatory symbols. The six lines of the hexagram were known as the six lines. Each line was a line.
3. ** Overall understanding of metaphysics **: Metaphysical is a philosophical thought and trend of thought that appeared in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It uses Lao Tzu, Zhuangzi, and Zhouyi as the basis of its argument to explore the content of both words and actions. It mostly pursues the profound realm of profound words and elegant actions. The central question is whether there is the beginning or the end. It focuses on the basis of the existence of all things in the world and forms two schools of thought, namely, nobleness and reverence.
In short, the introduction of metaphysics required a systematic study and in-depth understanding of these basic concepts and knowledge. These contents were also the cornerstone of learning other contents of metaphysics.
