Proper nounSingular Taoism Plural - Taoism
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Taoism (or Daoism) refers to a variety of related philosophical and religious traditions that have influenced Eastern Asia for more than two millennia, and have had a notable influence on the western world since the 19th century. The word 道, Tao (or Dao, depending on the romanization scheme), literally translated as "path" or "way", although in Chinese folk religion and philosophy it carries more abstract meanings. Taoist propriety and ethics emphasize the Three Jewels of the Tao: compassion, moderation, and humility, while Taoist thought generally focuses on nature, the relationship between humanity and the cosmos (天人相应), health and longevity, and wu wei (action through inaction), which is thought to produce harmony with the universe. Reverence for ancestor spirits and immortals are also common in popular Taoism. Organized Taoism distinguishes its ritual activity from that of the folk religion, which some professional Taoists (Daoshi) view as debased. Chinese alchemy (including Neidan), astrology, cuisine, several Chinese martial arts, Chinese traditional medicine, feng shui, immortality, and many styles of qigong breath training disciplines have been intertwined with Taoism throughout history.

What is a good thesis/idea for a thesis about Taoism and it's effect on the arts?
Q. I am having trouble coming up with a good thesis statement about Taoism and something to do with it's effects on the arts. Calligraphy, painting, poetry, music, dance. Maybe comparing the effect on Taoism on two of those? Please help. I am a sophomore in high school, so it isn't exactly college level.
