Lao Tzu’s point of view is to let nature take its course, while Taoism emphasizes abstinence. What do you think?

Taoism never seems to pay attention to abstinence, but repeatedly emphasizes the idea that too much is not enough.

Take the most ascetic Taoist Longmen sect as an example. The inner alchemy they practice does not allow for sexual intercourse. It seems like a form of abstinence. But they have also said that they do not advocate not getting married and having children for the sake of inner alchemy. Because Sakyamuni started practicing Buddhism after he gave birth to a son, Laozi and Confucius also had descendants. The saint did not give up getting married and having children for the sake of spiritual practice.
