"Laozi Tongshi" is Mr. Yu Qiuyu's new landmark work in interpreting ancient classics. It is also an introductory reading of "Tao Te Ching" written for contemporary people. The book comprehensively describes the entire content of the eighty-one chapters of the Tao Te Ching, analyzes the internal logic of each chapter and section, looks at the similarities and differences in thinking over two thousand years, looks at the literary charm between the original text and the translated text, discusses the consensus and disagreements of researchers in the past generations, and examines the errors and corrections in various versions. On the whole, it is written in accessible prose, and the interpretation and translation are both rigorous and poetic, enough to allow contemporary life and thousand-year-old texts to nourish each other. In recent years, Mr. Yu Qiuyu has concentrated on studying the most difficult ancient texts in traditional Chinese culture, such as the Tao Te Ching, the Book of Changes, and Buddhist classics such as the Diamond Sutra, the Tan Sutra, and the Heart Sutra. On the one hand, he has conducted in-depth research at the academic level, and on the other hand, he has devoted himself to presenting the ancient Yuan Canon to contemporary readers in an easy-to-understand way. This makes his writings a cultural foundation project of great significance.
Reader comments
Fight for nothing.
In today's fast-paced life, Lao Tzu's sincere teachings are more often used to calm one's mind. This is only the first level, the second level is to purify your own mind. But this cannot be solved by "Laozi". It's not that he doesn't speak well, it's just that as a person, he receives too much and too complicated information every day, and it is difficult to distinguish the Tao of "Da Yin Xi Sheng". But this book is the source, a book that needs to be read after traveling around the world.
Forget it, no evaluation. People with too little experience are not qualified. Let's talk about the interpretation of this version. It doesn't matter if it's a free translation rather than a simple translation. Many of the words in this book are engraved in the bones of Chinese people, and there is no need to translate them.
This book is really good! Mr. Yu Qiuyu's interpretation is profound and simple, allowing ordinary people like me to easily understand the connotation of "Tao Te Ching". He tells it in prose, which is both rigorous and poetic. Moreover, I think this book is very suitable to be read together with "The Analects of Confucius". Both of them provide in-depth explanations of traditional Chinese culture. My favorite part of the book is the interpretation of "Tao", which gave me new thinking about life. I feel that Mr. Yu Qiuyu is like a kind teacher, taking me into the palace of ancient culture.
Mr. Yu Qiuyu's books never pretend to be profound but the language is rich in meaning, which naturally makes people feel the profound cultural heritage.
Another masterpiece by Mr. Yu Qiuyu! ! ! [Laugh][laugh][laugh]
A very awesome book, it opened another door for me
I have been reading many versions of the Tao Te Ching before.
Basically it's all wisdom and conspiracy theories.
It just never felt right to me, so I kept looking for more versions
And this one explains the Tao Te Ching in a gentle way.
Only then did I truly understand the importance of simplicity.
