ABSTRACT
In the ancient system of Taoism, the goal is to become immortal. The pursuit of immortality allows for no boundaries in the Taoist world of imagination. This ideal gives Taoists strong motivation for thinking about, observing, exploring, and practicing techniques for life improvement. Throughout the history of China, Taoists have contributed important discoveries and theories in areas such as medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, geography, and other disciplines of science.
