This is not just another English version of the Tao Te Ching, this is the new English version that makes good sense to readers for the very first time in the history. While the Tao Te Ching is a famous ancient Chinese classic and has substantially influenced the lives of so many people over the centuries, it is also one of the most profound and misinterpreted spiritual and philosophical text. Some of its chapters may appear confusing and difficult to understand. What can you do when you just can not make sense of them?
Yuhui Liang, the author of this book, has in-depth research on the Tao Te Ching and found many misinterpretations in many English and Chinese versions of The Tao Te Ching. After years of research and study, he has made significant progress in three important areas and successfully corrected all the misinterpretations. And his new translation let Lao Tzu's words finally make good sense to readers. His work takes the translation of the Tao Te Ching to the next level of better accuracy, coherence and contextualization, while keeping the sentences reasonably concise. You can benefit from this book whether you are a first time reader or a long time fan. It will help you read Lao Tzu's book with greater understanding, re-examine its original meaning, and find out what it means to you today.
The content of this book: Introduction, Translation, Pinyin version, Annotation, Notes, and a Brief Analysis of the Symbol Pair for each of eighty one chapters.

3.0 out of 5 stars I don’t know...
Reviewed in Germany on 23 October 2019

I read the foreword and had the impression the author is bragging to much about his “wisdom” and states that he knows what the Tao is. I’m not sure but this sound like a contradiction to the whole philosophy of Tao. Especially that he knows more and better about Tao as all other authors about this topic. He apparently has “solved” centuries old mysteries around Tao by deciphering some pictograms, which none of other authors are even aware of. I have still very mixed feeling about the author and the book. But I will reconsider my review when I can finish the book by closing by eyes each time he brags about hisself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well thought out translation, but irritating author.
Reviewed in Japan on 24 December 2020

The author’s bragging about his knowledge is very contradictory to the Tao Te King and leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Unfortunately it decreases the value of this book.
The translation itself is very easy to read and understand, I enjoyed to read it.
But some parts are arbitrary interpretations that are contradicting most scholars on the topic.
This book is worth reading, but shouldn’t be a the only translation you read because it takes away some of the most fascinating ideas of Laotzi.

I have read more than a dozen English version of Lao Tzu's book, and found many paradoxes which I can not solve. But after having reading this version of the Tao Te Ching, all paradoxes are gone! (less)
