Daoism,people-oriented,believes that family management is the same as self-cultivation and state-governance.Virtue,which values harmony,is the main content and specific manifestation of family management.It,with limitations and negative effects,is necessary but must be transcended.Family relationship,beyond virtue,is manifested as moderate distance and mind peace.Specifically,in an ideal interpersonal relationship,people should be the completely free and independent individuals,rather than the constraint or burden of others.The same applies to blood ties,a special interpersonal relationship.Therefore,in the view of Daoism,ethical norms—such as benevolence,righteousness,filial piety and fraternity—constrain human nature,and only by transcending and forgetting them can family members display and follow their true nature,live a comfortable life,and reach the realm of ultimate Dao.In general,Daoist family governance is essentially people-oriented and by virtue.Management is actually the regulation of the relationship between people and things.In modern times,family management is the prerequisite for enterprise management and public administration.
