Many people have heard of the Tao Te Ching, but have not really understood what is written in the Tao Te Ching?
The Tao Te Ching was written by Lao Tzu when he was talking about the scriptures at a guanshe, and then he rode away on a donkey.
After Yin Xi of Guansai received Laozi's Tao Te Ching, he regarded it as the most precious treasure and read it every day with a new book, and yin Xi was able to pass it down to the present day, and Yin Xi also became one of the ancestors of the Taoist family.
Why is the Tao Te Ching so powerful that the ancients were obsessed with it and modern people regard it as the most precious treasure? Then we must start with "Li Er", that is, "Lao Tzu".
Lao Tzu was very knowledgeable, serving as a historian during the Zhou Dynasty, responsible for managing books, and had read a large number of book examples during his tenure. Thus mastering the law of human development, he began to study the law of operation, and finally he was able to write the "Tao Te Ching".
This also makes the classic sentence that Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching, and every sentence spoken is surprising. Because what he is talking about is thinking about problems from the perspective of all human beings. And it's not just from a personal perspective. Therefore, the words spoken by Lao Tzu feel very uncomfortable at first glance, but it makes sense to savor every sentence carefully.
Before 2016, the "Tao Te Ching" was second only to the "Bible" in foreign sales. After 2016, the "Tao Te Ching" surpassed the "Bible" and became popular abroad with amazing sales.
