Chinese civilization is the only civilization in the world that has been developing continuously for 5,000 years and is as dynamic as it has ever been. The books in this series have been carefully selected from a vast number of Chinese classics that were enormously influential throughout history, and have received considerable attention from Western readers. Since these books are fundamental to the understanding of traditional Chinese culture, both the Chinese texts and the corresponding English translations are provided so that the highest current standards of academic research can be maintained. This allows both Chinese and foreign people to read original ancient Chinese books and capture the essence of Chinese civilization. Compared with Confucianism, Lao Zis Taoism is more systematic, more prudent and more coherent. The Book of Lao Zi covers subjects comprehensively ranging from philosophy, history, politics, ethics, to cultivation of mans mind.
