Taoism’s emphasis on balance is a fundamentally healthy philosophy for life. Now, some of its less philosophical put ins - about cosmology, astrology, alchemy, and such - are generally tying the Chinese folk religion to Taoism. Obviously these two are intertwined in practiced Taoism today, but it’s important to maintain a distinction from the Tao Te Ching - which reads much like Machievelli’s famous work - as well as its philosophical school from this intertwining with folk religion.
