Religious Daoism followed philosophical Daoism in maintaining that all things in nature arise out of the coming together and dissipation of qi (vital energy). Hence they did not speak of transmigration, but believed instead that humans live only one life, and placed great emphasis on this life.
道教沿襲道家講自然，萬物是氣之聚散的說法，因此不談輪迴、認為人只有一世，對今世特別看重。
