China is currently experiencing a rapid super-aging population. The prevailing view among the contemporary general public in China is that to maintain the well-being of older people their engagement in social activity should remain the same pre and post retirement by Chinese society and their unique perspectives on aging are deeply influenced by Taoism. Western adaptation theories targeting age-related loss, widely discuss gerotranscendence. Scholars argued that gerotranscendence and Eastern Zen Buddhism share a myriad of commonalities. In this paper, we examine the possibility of applying the concept of gerotranscendence to the Chinese context, as Eastern principles derived from Lao Tzu influenced the older Chinese population. Based on reviewed literature, this paper concludes that both cross-culture similarities and cultural context-based differences between Taoist thoughts regarding age-related loss and gerotranscendence theory exist. Therefore, it is necessary for future research to re-examine the appropriateness of applying gerotranscendence to the older Chinese population considering the background of Chinese culture, history, and society.
