Abstract：Taoists whose ultimate goal is to attain wisdom and become celestial beings,believe that happiness is not based on the richness of material life,power or high social reputation,but on a healthy and happy life. Thus they advocate that people follow nature rules,be content with the current life and takecare of their own health.For thousands of years,Taoism has emphasized the idea″E nough is as good as a feast″a nd believed that taking care of one's own health and living happily is the way to happiness,therefore the love of life constitutes the distinguishing feature of Taoist view of happiness. Taoist inquiry into the relationship between happiness and desire is an expression of their concern about the nature of human being and the consciousness of ideals of life,which has special value and significance in modern life.
