Tao - the path
The term "Tao" is called in Chinese mythology as the "unfathomable" or the "nameless" that works in all being, without ever appearing themselves.
Freely translated, "Tao" means the path of nature and the universe or even the power that underlies all being. Thus, Taoism involves an understanding of life that emphasizes individual harmony with the forces of nature.
The Taoists say that the Tao can be recognized, but not held, or even conceptually defined. It is contained in every being and yet never manifests itself. How nice, such a change in our time!
