Daojia is philosophical Daoism (Taoism).  The primary text is the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching) by Lao Tzu (the Old Guy) but Chuang Tzu (or Zhuangzi) and even Master Sun (Sun Tzu/Sun Tze) are important.

Daojiao is religious Taoism. The I Ching and the dualism of the Yin and Yang (Taijitu) is found under that rubric, along with ancestor worship and hankering after immortality and all that stuff is frankly not very Dao, if you ask around. Yoda might go for it.
