As a native-born religion in China, Taoism influences Chinese culture a lot. Ancient Chinese thought that everything had spirit, so they worshipped the nature, soul and ancesters, and then combined ancesters with divine. While Taoism is just a religion worshiping divine. Until nowadays, it is still popular to ask monks to mourn the death to pray for a happy life in the heaven for the dead; the couple would worship Heaven & Earth when getting married.
