Any Taoists out there?

28 Feb

I really need some help here. I have a project to do on Taoism and I have to find the following things. Please don’t tell me to look it up because I’ve tried everything and even went to the library…found nothing. Now some of these I’ve found a little on, but not a great amount.

Ok here they are. Your help is greatly appreciated. :)

Also, If you know of any good sites that could help me find the following information that would be a great help. Thanks again.

Essays have to be written about the following points:

*Holy Places
*Calendar/Holidays
*Places of Worship/Sacred Structures
*Sacred Space (burial of the dead and religous settlements land use)
*Place Names (you probably don’t get what that is – neither do I!)

Also, did/does Taoism have any conflicts with other religions? I think I read a little about Taoists disagreeing with Confucianists or something.

And what is Taoism’s stand versus social change? How is it reacting and what are some examples?
to Thomas P: because for one none of the information i need is on Wikipedia and for two, Wikipedia is not an accurate site

    You can clearly use a computer..so, why not use Wikipedia?

    EDIT
    and YA is the fountain of pure, unbiased knowledge?

    Whoever handed out the assignment doesn’t have much idea what they are asking for.

    None of those things are particularly important to taoists

    Everywhere is sacred, every day is holy.

    But yes, Taoism and Confucianism are almost directly opposite each other.
