The Tianshi school was officially recognized by ruler Cao Cao in 215, legitimizing Cao Cao's rise to power in return. The first organized form of Taoism, the Tianshi (Celestial Masters') school (later known as Zhengyi school), developed from the Five Pecks of Rice movement at the end of the 2nd century CE the latter had been founded by Zhang Daoling, who claimed that Laozi appeared to him in the year 142. A major text from the Huang-Lao movement would be the Huainanzi, which interprets earlier works of the Taoist canon in light of the quest for immortality. In the early Han Dynasty, the Tao came to be associated with or conflated with the Xian Di Emperor. The earliest commentary on the Dao De Jing is that of Heshang Gong (the "Riverside Master"), a legendary figure depicted as a teacher to the Han emperor. In Sima Qian's history (chapter 63) it refers to immortals in Liu Xiang it refers to Laozi and Zhuangzi ( Daojiao came to be applied to the religious movements in later times). The term Daojia (usually translated as "philosophical Taoism") was coined during the Han Dynasty. The fangshi were philosophically close to the School of Yin-Yang, and relied much on astrological and calendrical speculations in their divinatory activities. methods of longevity and to ecstatic wanderings" as well as exorcism in the case of the wu, "shamans" or "sorcerers" is often used as a translation. Both terms were used to designate individuals dedicated to ". In particular, many Taoist practices drew from the Warring-States-era phenomena of the Wu (shaman) (connected to the "shamanism" of Southern China) and the Fangshi (which probably derived from the "archivist-soothsayers of antiquity, one of whom supposedly was Laozi himself"), even though later Taoists insisted that this was not the case. Sinologist Isabelle Robinet identifies four components in the emergence of Taoism: Some elements of Taoism may be traced to prehistoric folk religions in China that later coalesced into a Taoist tradition. Moreover, the Yellow Emperor, Huangdi (2697–2597 BCE) Is often associated with origin of the Tao. However, Taoism clearly predates Laozi (Lao Tzu) as he refers to "The Tao masters of antiquity" in Chapter 15 of the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching). Whether he actually existed is disputed, however, the work attributed to him - the Daodejing - is dated to the 4th or 3rd century BC. Laozi is traditionally regarded as the founder of Taoist religion and is closely associated in this context with "original", or "primordial", Taoism. Most recently, Taoism has emerged from a period of suppression and is undergoing a revival in China. The acceptance of Taoism by the ruling class has waxed and waned, alternately enjoying periods of favor and rejection. Taoism evolved in response to changing times, with its doctrine and associated practices being revised and refined.
Originating in prehistoric China, it has exerted a powerful influence over Chinese culture throughout the ages. The history of Taoism stretches throughout Chinese history.
