How to explain "Taoism is natural"

Taoism is natural and comes from the philosophical thought of Tao Te Ching, which means that the law reflected by "Tao" is "natural".

"People's law is based on the earth, the earth is based on the sky, the sky is based on the Tao, and the Tao is based on nature." Laozi has incisively contained and expounded the law of life by connecting heaven, earth, man and even the whole universe.

"Tao, law and nature" reveals the characteristics of the whole universe, including the attributes of everything in the world. Everything in the universe follows the "natural" law of Tao, and Tao takes itself as the law.

The Origin of "Tao and Nature" —— Chapter 25 of Laozi's Tao Te Ching

"Things are mixed and natural. Lonely and lonely, independent without change, walking around without danger, but the mother of heaven and earth doesn't know its name, and the word Tao is stronger than its name. Death is great, death is far away, and distance is relative. The old road is big, big, big and crowded. There are four big ones in the area, one of which is inhabited by human beings. Man's law is based on the earth, the earth is based on the sky, the sky is based on the Tao, and the Tao is natural. "

Translation:

There is an object that is chaotic, boundless, silent and seamless, and it existed long before the world began. Unique, unparalleled, right, it follows its own laws and will never change, and its circular operation will never stop. It can be the root of everything in the world, even the source of heaven and earth. I can't describe it exactly, so I can only call it Tao in general, and barely use "big" to describe it.

"Big" refers to continuous operation and change, that is, it is everywhere, has far-reaching influence, goes through the ages, reaches extremely far, and returns to the root of things. It is precisely because the Tao is endless that it is great, so the heaven, earth and people who follow the Tao are great. There are four universes.

People are one of them. Man must follow the laws and characteristics of the earth. The principle of the earth is to obey the sky, and the sky is based on Tao, which is natural and not man-made.
