Daoism-Taoism Romanization issue



Dào is the pinyin romanization of the Chinese character 道, representing a word that was usually rendered in English as Tao, and used as the root word for the English term Taoism. Taoism is a native Chinese philosophy and religion that, along with its various offshoot sects and syncretisms with other traditions (Chan Buddhism, Neo-Confucianism), has influenced much of East Asia for thousands of years.
