Abstract: This paper explores the maternal cultural spirit embedded in Taoism through an analysis of the origin and development of the Doumu (Mother of the Dipper) belief. The study first traces the historical origins and theological evolution of Doumu worship, revealing how her divine image transformed from a celestial veneration of the Northern Dipper constellation into the sacred "Mother of All Stars." Second, it delves into the philosophical connection between Doumu belief and the concept of the Dao (Great Dao) in the Daodejing, demonstrating how Taoism sublimates maternal reverence into a cosmogonic framework. The paper then systematically interprets the core attributes of Taoist maternal spirituality—creativity, inclusivity, and redemptive power—and concludes by examining the cultural significance and practical implications of this spiritual tradition in contemporary society, offering ethical insights and spiritual nourishment for modern life.
