Features: This book is essentially a "Tao of Obtaining the Way," not just a "Tao Te Ching." It interprets each chapter, paragraph, and even every word and sentence of the "Tao Te Ching" in order. While doing so, it also proposes new understandings based on a thorough review of previous interpretations. For example, it offers entirely fresh explanations of fundamental concepts such as "name" and "Tao." This book serves as both an academic reading of the full "Tao Te Ching" and an anthology of various viewpoints on the text, as well as a scholarly monograph with insightful perspectives. The writing process, especially the explanations of the eighty-one chapters of the "Tao Te Ching," involves first transcribing the original text, then providing topic summaries, followed by annotations, and finally translating it into plain language.
