The Way, if it can be articulated,is not the eternal Way. The name, if it can be named, is not the eternal name.
- Lao Zi

Tao Te Ching, written more than 2,500 years ago, is reputedly the first philosophical work in Chinese history. Literally translated as the Classic of the Way and Virtue, it presents the philosophical thoughts of Lao Zi in a concise, comprehensive yet profound manner.

Today, it is one of the most influential Chinese classics. Tao Te Ching examines the eternal Way – the origin of the universe and everything in it – and the supreme Virtue. It also provides practical wisdom for leadership and for achieving balance and harmony in everyday life.

A complete depiction of the original work, this illustrated edition by Chinese artist Feng Ge offers a refreshing and meditative interpretation of the classic.
