The Way of Heaven: Understanding Lao Tzu

The Tao Te Ching is a work written by the pre-Qin philosophers in ancient China before they split up. It is an important source of Taoist philosophical thought. The text of "Tao Te Ching" takes "morality" in the philosophical sense as its outline and discusses the ways of self-cultivation, governing the country, using troops, and maintaining health. "Tao" is the laws and regulations governing the movement of all things in the world. Living and doing things in compliance with these laws and regulations is called "virtue". How can one successfully complete one's "way" in life? That is to say, we must act according to objective laws and respect nature. With the themes of "the Way of Heaven" and "The Way of Humanity", this book is divided into 69 annotations on the "Tao Te Ching". It is interpreted from multiple angles and integrates the author's insights on life experience, the evolution of historical classics and Laozi's simple philosophical thoughts into the book. The understanding is as detailed as possible, and the translation is kept simple as much as possible. It combines literal translation and free translation to concretize the abstract "Tao", making it easier for readers to understand, learn and comprehend, and also makes the book more attractive.
