The Daode jing ("Book of the Dao and Its Virtue") is an essential work in both traditional
Chinese culture and world philosophy. The oldest text of philosophical Daoism, and
widely venerated among religious Daoist practitioners, it was composed around the
middle of the 4th century BCE. Ascribed to a thinker named Laozi, a contemporary of
Confucius, the work is based on a set of aphorisms designed to help local lords improve
their techniques of government.0The most translated book after the Bible, the Daode
jing appears in numerous variants and remains highly relevant in the modern world.
This guide provides an overview of the text, presenting its historical unfolding,
its major concepts, and its contemporary use. It also gives some indication of its
essence by citing relevant passages and linking them to the religious practices of
traditional Daoism
