About this book

"The Tao Teh King, or the Tao and its Characteristics" by Laozi is an ancient Chinese text from the late Warring States period (475–221 BCE). This foundational work of Taoism explores the Way and its Virtue through poetic wisdom. Traditionally attributed to the sage Laozi, though authorship remains debated, it has profoundly influenced Chinese philosophy and religious practice. As one of the most translated texts worldwide, it precedes the other core Taoist work, the Zhuangzi, and continues to resonate across cultures.
