Features: "The Tao Te Ching" is a standard children's book. If one wants to stay young, they must read Laozi. When a person's bones become hard and their thinking becomes rigid, it's time to grow old. "The Tao Te Ching" can help us "return to the state of an infant." "The Zhuangzi" is not a book that burdens you but one that helps you shed burdens. The burdens are simply wine, beauty, wealth, and fame; the desires for profit, nourishment, and the knots in your chest; the preconceived notions in your heart. These burdens weigh us down so much that we have no room to think about major creative inventions. "The Zhuangzi" is full of such wisdom, too numerous to count. Throughout history, great figures in all fields must transcend the ordinary and possess a touch of the divine.
