Taoist Creationism is centered around the concept of a “Oneness” or essential source of the Universe and everything the includes. Through a continual division of “things” all emanating from the Tao, the Universe is created through mythological creatures, or via a rearrangement of “the elements.” Many of these creation stories are a part of the Confucius philosophy.
