Because of its ambiguous nature the Tao Te Ching is famously difficult to translate, and many, if not all, translations are significantly influenced by the translatorâs state of mind. Subjects range from advice to those in power to advice to regular people and adages for daily living. The work itself is a series of 81 short poetic sections, each one written in a fluid, ambiguous style, leaving them open to wide interpretation. Today itâs one of the most-translated works in the world. While its authorship is debated, the text remains a fundamental building block of Taoism and one of the most influential works of its time. The Tao Te Ching is a classic Chinese text written around the 6th century BC by Laozi, a Zhou-dynasty courtier. ![]() Standard EbooksĢ5,290 words (1 hour 32 minutes) with a reading ease of 67.28 (average difficulty) Translated by James Legge - Free ebook download - Standard Ebooks: Free and liberated ebooks, carefully produced for the true book lover. ![]()
