I just came across these news articles today. The interesting thing is that it strike me how similar the pattern of this re-emergence of Taoism is similar to the revival of Confucianism. Well, after all, it's the 3-in-1 power that dominated the religious sphere of China in the past 1000 years (at least)...
Daodejing is now 'the Taoist bible' - interesting translation. This again raise again the question of the issue of how we can translate religious concept from one cultural context to another...like the Jesuit missionaries try to comprehend what Confucianism is and call it religion....
This is getting even more interesting now...
