What is the root of the universe? What is the relationship between man and nature? What is weakness and strength? How should people live? These abstract questions, thinking beyond time and space, come from? These questions all come from a book. The writer is known as "Lao Tzu".
There are only more than 400 words about his introduction in China's first general history of the chronicle, "Historical Records", and most of the content cannot be determined. Confucius once sighed that he couldn't understand Lao Tzu's thoughts, so what did Lao Tzu say, "the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail"? What kind of wisdom does his Tao Te Ching contain? What impact did his ideas have on China and the world?
