The Daodejing
by Laozi
The Daodejing or 道德經 is one of the classics of Chinese philosophy. In English editions, it's sometimes still called the Tao Te Ching, which is an older system of romanizing the same Chinese characters. 'Dao' can be roughly translated as 'the Way,' 'De' tends to mean virtue in modern Chinese, but probably meant something more like 'power' in old Chinese. 'Jing' denotes that this book, which is around two-and-a-half millennia old, is one of the classics.
