For many years have the family members been raised using the doctrine of Tao or Taoism. '''Tao'''(道, ''Pinyin: Dào'', ''Cantonese: Dou'') is a Chinese character often translated as ‘The way of nature'. The concept of Tao is based upon the understanding that the only constant in the Universe is change (see I Ching, the "Book of Changes") and that we must understand and be in harmony with this change. The change is a constant flow from non-being into being, potential into actual, yin into yang, female into male. The symbol of the Tao, called the Taijitu, is the yin yang confluently flowing into itself in a circle. To put it simple, Tao means the way and order of the Universe.
 
 
To the Tao family the way of Tao also means that one has a nature, a way of acting that is natural to them and that it should be followed at all times.
 
 
However, Yúan only saw one side of the world. Being forced to carry the ancestors' souls, he did not gain the wisdom that they were intended to give him. Instead he received their sadness. It is because of this that he lost all trust in humanity and shamans outside the family and, sadly, he ended up teaching his children the same thing.
 
   
 
The Tao family see the doctrine of Tao in a way where one should not doubt and, should one doubt, they would become weak. "Wu Bi Mu" meaning "''I do not doubt''", was uttered by Ren as he was finally able to go against his father, who claimed that he was doubting himself and had forgotten his Tao.

After being forced to live on the frontiers of China for many years, the Tao Family experienced a revival of sorts when Yúan, a member of the branch family, married Tao Ran, heir to the main branch, and became head of the family. He decided it was his responsibility to engrave the Tao Family’s name into history once more. At the same time, Yúan also saw it as his duty to carry the souls of the ancestors with him and therefore took on an armor of memory tablets that would later be used as a medium for his oversoul, Daidouho.

Yúan believed that by making Ren Shaman King he would be able to restore the former glory of the Tao Family. However, besides giving Ren a strong body and shamanic abilities, the legacy that Yúan passed to Ren was one of hatred of everyone and everything, a conquer or die philosophy. Because of this, Ren never cared for his family and made it his goal to become Shaman King only so that he could kill every person in the world.

About

Yuan Tao

The Tao symbol tattooed on the back of Tao Yúan

The Tao family, are an ancient Chinese family known for their shamanic capabilities. For many years have the family members been raised using the doctrine of Tao. Tao(道, Pinyin: Dào, Cantonese: Dou) is a Chinese character often translated as ‘The way of nature'. The concept of Tao is based upon the understanding that the only constant in the Universe is changing and that one must understand and be in harmony with this change. To the Tao family, the way of Tao also means that one has nature, a way of acting that is natural to them and that it should be followed at all times.

However, Yúan only saw one side of the world. Being forced to carry the ancestors' souls, he did not gain the wisdom as intended, instead, he received their sadness. It is because of this that he lost all trust in humanity and shamans outside the family and he ended up teaching his children the same thing.

The Tao family see the doctrine of Tao in a way where one should not doubt and, should one doubt, they would become weak. "Wu Bi Mu" meaning "I do not doubt", was uttered by Ren as he was finally able to go against his father, who claimed that he was doubting himself and had forgotten his Tao.

As the doctrine of Tao reflects upon the family's nature, they have also used the symbol as their family symbol, even tattooing it onto their backs, while Ren had his tattoo made forcefully.

History

Past

2000 years in the past they used their skills to assist and guide the people of China and their power spread across the country. In order to govern the entire mainland of China the Tao Family had other shaman clans cooperate and follow them while exiling those who acted unlawfully.[1] As time went on, they become ostracized for their abilities and hunted down, forcing them to retreat to the outskirts of China.

The Tao Family’s Home in the frontier

After being forced to live on the frontiers of China for many years, the Tao Family experienced a revival of sorts when Yúan, a member of the branch family, married Tao Ran, heir to the main branch, and became head of the family. He decided it was his responsibility to engrave the Tao Family’s name into history once more. At the same time, Yúan also saw it as his duty to carry the souls of the ancestors with him and therefore took on an armor of memory tablets that would later be used as a medium for his oversoul, Daidouho.

When his two children were born, he merely saw them as tools for the Tao Family to use to regain their lost honor. Because of this, he made his son Tao Ren undergo unusually harsh training to become Shaman King. He also taught Ren about the cruelty of humanity and that he shouldn't trust anyone outside the family. Tao Jun learned how to become a Dàoshì from her mother so that she could support Ren. Yúan believed that by making Ren Shaman King he would be able to restore the former glory of the Tao Family. However, besides giving Ren a strong body and shamanic abilities, the legacy that Yúan passed to Ren was one of hatred of everyone and everything, a conqueror die philosophy. Because of this, Ren never cared for his family and made it his goal to become Shaman King only so that he could kill every person in the world.
