Dao De Jing - or Tao Te Ching- is one of the most influential Chinese classics. Written in the Zhou dynasty almost 2500 years ago by Lao Zi - ’the Old Master’ of whom we know very little. The Dao De Jing consist of 81 chapters of both spiritual and political wisdom brilliantly lectured from the viewpoint of Dao and De — ’The Way’ and ’Virtuous actions.’ Lars Bo Christensen's translation stands out as clear and simple, bringing light to the true meaning of the text.
