Answering in detail would take too many pages. \n\n"Laozi (also spelt Lao Tsu, Lao Tse, Lao Zi, Laotze, and in other ways) is a major figure in Chinese philosophy whose historical existence is debated. According to Chinese tradition, he lived in the 6th century BCE. Many modern scholars would place his life in the 4th century BCE, during the Hundred Schools of Thought and Warring States Periods. Lao Tsu is credited with writing the seminal Taoist work, the Dao De Jing, and he is recognized as the founding father of Taoism." - Wikipedia\n\nYou can read the rest of the entry yourself, they have external links at the end of the article so that you can read more should you choose to do so.

Taoism is about Balance Yin and Yang. I have the tao te ching the te of piglet but even books dont exactly cover it......\n\n\n    * "Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river." Lao Tse\n    * "Different Chinese philosophers, writing probably in 5-4 centuries B.C., presented some major ideas and a way of life that are nowadays known under the name of Taoism, the way of correspondence between man and the tendency or the course of natural world." Alan Watts, from his book: "Tao: The Watercourse Way."\n    * "We believe in the formless and eternal Tao, and we recognize all personified deities as being mere human constructs. We reject hatred, intolerance, and unnecessary violence, and embrace harmony, love and learning, as we are taught by Nature. We place our trust and our lives in the Tao, that we may live in peace and balance with the Universe, both in this mortal life and beyond." Creed of the Western Reform Taoist Congregation 1\n\nHistory of Taoism:\n\nTao (pronounced "Dow") can be roughly translated into English as path, or the way. It is basically indefinable. It has to be experienced. It "refers to a power which envelops, surrounds and flows through all things, living and non-living. The Tao regulates natural processes and nourishes balance in the Universe. It embodies the harmony of opposites (i.e. there would be no love without hate, no light without dark, no male without female.)" 2 \n\nThe founder of Taoism is believed by many to be Lao-Tse (604-531 BCE), a contemporary of Confucius. (Alternative spellings: Lao Tze, Lao Tsu, Lao Tzu, Laozi, Laotze, etc.). He was searching for a way that would avoid the constant feudal warfare and other conflicts that disrupted society during his lifetime. The result was his book: Tao-te-Ching (a.k.a. Daodejing). Others believe that he is a mythical character. \n\nTaoism started as a combination of psychology and philosophy but evolved into a religious faith in 440 CE when it was adopted as a state religion. At that time Lao-Tse became popularly venerated as a deity. Taoism, along with Buddhism and Confucianism, became one of the three great religions of China. With the end of the Ch'ing Dynasty in 1911, state support for Taoism ended. Much of the Taoist heritage was destroyed during the next period of warlordism. After the Communist victory in 1949, religious freedom was severely restricted. "The new government put monks to manual labor, confiscated temples, and plundered treasures. Several million monks were reduced to fewer than 50,000" by 1960. 3 During the cultural revolution in China from 1966 to 1976, much of the remaining Taoist heritage was destroyed. Some religious tolerance has been restored under Deng Xiao-ping from 1982 to the present time. \n\nTaoism currently has about 20 million followers, and is primarily centered in Taiwan. About 30,000 Taoists live in North America; 1,720 in Canada (1991 census). Taoism has had a significant impact on North American culture in areas of "acupuncture, herbalism, holistic medicine, meditation and martial arts..." 3

"Marching and killing people in their path"...sorry, I find this funny...\nok, If you'll say the same about G.Washington.\nWow...you obviously haven't a clue dude...\nNo sweat, most Westerners (esp. N.Americans) don't when it comes to China.\nLong March (1934-35) was, yes, a trek... starting in the southeast of China to the west/central provinces, and finally up north to the Party stronghold in N.Shaanxi province.  It was essentially a tour of duty to avoid the KMT army and Japanese to gain a strategic advantage in the north. Thousands died on the march, and only a fraction of the original marchers survived until the end. However, once the communists had a northern stronghold, they were better suited to fight the Japanese and KMT government. \nThe Japanese were raping, killing every Chinese they could see, and the KMT was doing nothing about it...if it weren't for the communist party fighting for the people, China would have completely been taken over by Japan during WW2. The Long March is one of the greatest moments of endurance and perseverence in the history of the CCP - they were only ones defending the country...many people willingly joined the long march in ardent support of Mao and the CCp in fighting the Japanese and defeating the corrupt regime of Chiang Kai Shek. \nThe history of the CCP is an incredibly noble one leading up to their final victory in 1949 - a victory that was celebrated by the people....there was so much anti KMT fervor that Chiang had no choice but to escape to Taiwan and ask for American assistance. The long march is essentially 'the golden age' of the CCP's struggle to bring about a people's democratic dictatorship.\nAnd the anti-japanese war/long march, is one of the reasons that Chinese today have faith and believe in their government. Because it has, and will always fight for its people. \n(As seen in raising 400 million people out of poverty since 1980)\nYes, China today has many problems, but it has only been developing for a short period. (Think of the problems the US had early 1800s)...either way, the Long March is one of most important and defining moments in the rise of Mao and Communism in China. Chinese are proud of this history. And to slander it, or support the KMT who was letting its people get slaughtered, or to underplay the viciousness of the Japanese is both naive and ignorant on anyone's part. The CCP saved China during the 30s and 40s. By the 40s, the US was helping the Communists, not the faltering KMT. 'Flying Tigers, Stillwell, etc. Even the Canadians were sending doctors to help the CCP (Norman Bethune) Once the long march was succesful, Communist victory in both the civil and anti-Japanese war was inevitable. \nStart studying Chinese history if you want to understand the world we live in.\nHope this answer suffices.

Lao Tsu's book is more about life on a day-to-day basis.  Like Buddhism, a religion was made out of him.  It is an interesting, and very short, book (The Tao-te-Ching) and somewhat difficult to read if you're not in the right frame of mind, so to speak.  \n\nI imagine Lao Tsu existed, but there is no proof (like a lot of other religion founders) and he was more a philosopher than a religious leader.  I would go with a more spiritual immortality, based on the Tao-te-Ching, but it is difficult to tell.

NO I can't.  (Actually I can, but I won't)\n\nThis is not the place to have America do your coursework for you.  Sure there's a LOT on Mao (and everything else) on the web.  So get off Yahoo Answers, stop screwing around and go do your own research!\n\nCheeez!

Probably one of the most brutal dictators in modern history, surpassing Hitler, and on the level of Stalin.\n\nMao came to power when he defeated nationalist forces in the late 40's. He was a very personable leader, but could not run the country, and his policies became disastrous. \n\nFor example, in the 50's, he forced many people to go work in steel mills. This lead to widespread famine & death. While no official figures are available, estimates put the death toll for this famine between 20 and 30 million.\n\nIn addition, to keep control over the country, in the 60's he created the Cultural Revolution. This revolution, which probably killed around 1-3 million people (again, only estimates), involved primarly teenagers roaming the country, buring schools and generally destroying the main pillars of civilization. Only when the Cultural Revolution factions started to fight each other, and when it appeared that civil war was once again a real possibility, did Mao call in the Chinese Army to put down the revolution & restore civilization.
