Abstract: Jung’s concern for the soul and redemption made him transcend the prejudice of western culture and meet the thoughts of Taoism.Taoism focuses on the problem of human existence,and the ultimate goal is to let people become themselves,which provided Jung with the source of inspiration,became the turning point of his academic life,and helped Jung realize the unique construction of psychoanalytic psychology.A series of categories and concepts in Jung’s theory were branded with the Oriental culture.Jung thought dialectically about the relationship between Eastern culture and the Western world.He appreciated the spiritual cultivation methods and wisdom of Eastern culture,and believed that westerners must be open to Eastern culture if they want to recover their forgotten and lost spiritual home.

Key words: Jung, unconsciousness, Richard Wilhelm, Taoism, transcend
