The Chinese character is pronounced ‘dào’ in Pinyin, and belongs
to the significant category of Ancient Chinese philosophy, which mainly explains
the World’s originality, noumenon, and discipline or principle. Its meaning varies
in different philosophical systems.
Cultural views
Classic of the Virtue of the Tao written by Lao-tzu's is regarded
as classic book on ‘Tao’ thought. Tao is process which summarizes all things in
an entirety and systemic way. Tao is not a substance of static mechanical way of
thinking, but an originality of process. Furthermore, Tao is mother of university,
and nothing and existences are both from Tao. Dao is discipline, reflecting the
movement discipline of things. It is the causal finales of universal change. At
last, Tao is law of nature requiring people to abide the law of nature.
Taìjítú
(Traditional
Chinese: 太極圖;
Simplified Chinese: 太极图;
Wade-Giles: T'ai Chi T'u; Rough English translation: “diagram of ultimate power”)
is a term which refers to any of the Chinese symbols for the concept of yin and
yang (Taiji), and is sometimes extended to similar geometric patterns used historically
by various cultures. The most recognized form is composed of two semi-circular teardrop-shaped
curves of different colors, or a circle separated by an S-shaped line, where each
half is marked with a dot in the opposite (or different) color. Symbols of this
type are found as Celtic art forms and coat of arms for several Western Roman army
units in Late Antiquity. Taoist philosophy adopted equivalent symbols several hundred
years later, as representations of yin and yang, from which the most common modern
usage of the symbol and the name 'taijitu' arise. There is no academically established
relationship between the Taoist and the earlier ancient Roman symbols.

the first-used method can be called Tao. Only innovation can produce Tao.
