The Tao Te Ching (Dao De Jing) by Lao-tzu (Lao Zi) is one of the earliest masterpieces of Chinese philosophy, and one of the most influential philosophical documents in the world. However, the many English translations only hint at the beauty and depth of the original Chinese writing which has been hidden to most non-Chinese readers. With the publication of this book, we can now go behind the veil of the language to see the truths offered by this remarkable work. Intended for students of Chinese, but practical for anyone interested in furthering their knowledge of Taoism, Chinese culture, or classical Chinese literature. Includes original Chinese text (simplified characters), Hanyu Pinyin romanization, English glosses and literal translation, . If you've ever wanted to try your hand at translating the Daodejing, this is a great reference!
