Appreciating the Tao Te Ching elevates one's life.

The Tao Te Ching is a philosophical masterpiece of Laozi (Li Er) from the Spring and Autumn period, also known as the True Classic of the Way and Its Power, Laozi, Five Thousand Words, or Laozi's Five Thousand Characters. It is a pre-Qin era work of the ancient Chinese philosophers, serving as a significant source of Daoist philosophical thought.

The Tao Te Ching is divided into two sections: the upper part focusing on virtues and the lower part focusing on the way. Originally without chapters, it was later reorganized into 37 chapters on the way followed by 44 chapters on virtues, totaling 81 chapters.

The text of Tao Te Ching centers around the philosophical idea of "Tao" and "virtue," discussing self-cultivation, governance, military strategy, and health maintenance, with a major emphasis on politics. It is known as a study of "inner sage and outer king," with profound meaning and extensive content, hailed as the "king of all classics."

The Tao Te Ching is one of the greatest masterpieces in Chinese history, exerting a profound influence on traditional philosophy, science, politics, religion, among other fields.

According to UNESCO statistics, apart from the Bible, the Tao Te Ching has been translated into foreign languages and published more widely than any other literary work, beloved by countless readers.
