The Laozi (Daodejing) and the Zhuangzi have long been familiar to Western readers and have served as basic sources of knowledge about early Chinese Daoism. Modern translations and studies of these works have encouraged a perception of Daoism as a mystical philosophy heavy with political implications that advises kings to become one with the Dao. Breaking with this standard approach, The Pristine Dao argues that the Laozi and the Zhuangzi participated in a much wider tradition of metaphysical discourse that included a larger corpus of early Chinese writings. This book demonstrates that early Daoist discourse possessed a distinct, textually constituted coherence and a religious sensibility that starkly differed from the intellectual background of all other traditions of early China, including Confucianism. The author argues that this discourse is best analyzed through its emergence from the mythological imagination of early China, and that it was unified by a set of notions about the Dao that was shared by all of its participants. The author introduces certain categories from the Western religious and philosophical traditions in order to bring out the distinctive qualities constituting this discourse and to encourage its comparison with other religious and philosophical traditions.

In ancient China, the Origin of the universe was called Dao. Dao theory is the ultimate theory established by ancient Chinese thinkers based on the Origin of the universe. It is used to explain all basic phenomena in the universe, to guide people's thoughts and behaviors, and to establish a just and perfect society. Consciousness, soul and life are the most important phenomena in the universe and also the most difficult to explain. Using Dao theory, we can explain and study human soul, consciousness, emotions, feelings and life. Although consciousness, soul and life have complex and difficult sides, they also have simple and easy-to-understand sides. The basic principles that form consciousness, soul, and life are simple; Even if you only have a middle school or even elementary school education, you can understand it as long as you put in the effort. Dao theory is composed of Yin-yang theory and Dao Morality Scripture (Tao Te Ching). This book is divided into three parts: the first part briefly introduces the Dao theory founded by ancient Chinese thinkers; introduces the yin-yang theory, using the Yin-yang theory to explain consciousness, emotions and feelings; introduces the three major worlds that make up the universe: the Dao world, the Soul world and Human world. The second part translates and interprets the Dao Morality Scripture. The third part introduces the application of Dao theory in contemporary human society. In Dao Morality Scripture, Lao Zi advocates "zero-action", "keeping the middle", "pure-quiet", "fraternity" and "contentment". When you understand consciousness, you will know that what Lao Zi said is correct. To correctly understand the Dao Morality Scripture (Tao Te Ching), it is recommended that you first understand the basic principles of consciousness. The universe was created by Dao, and the theories established based on Dao must be able to explain all basic phenomena of the universe. This book proves that Dao is the most perfect spiritual body in the universe; therefore, the theory established based on Dao will definitely be able to guide mankind to establish a perfect world. At present, problems faced in the fields of consciousness, life science, physics and other fields need to be solved by Dao theory; various problems faced by human society also need to be solved by Dao theory. Dao theory is the most basic theory that everyone should understand: If you want to understand the Origin of universe and understand why the universe is produced from emptiness, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you want to understand consciousness, soul and life, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you want to know what the correct beliefs and codes of conduct are, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you are a politician or public official and want to find the correct theory of establishing a country, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you are a student or researcher of philosophy, social science, natural science or religion, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. …… This book is available in two editions: the popular edition and the physical edition. The popular edition contains spiritual physics, omits general physics, and reduces 178 pages. The popular edition is suitable for readers majoring in liberal arts, and readers with middle school and primary school education. The cover of the popular edition is yellow, and the cover of the physics edition is blue. This e-book is a popular edition. There are many diagrams and formulas in the book, so it is a PDF e-book.

This volume covers the philosophical, historical, religious, and interpretative aspects of the ancient Guodian bamboo manuscripts (郭店楚簡) which were disentombed in the Guodian Village in Hubei Province, China, in 1993. Considered to be the Chinese equivalent of the Dead Sea Scrolls, these manuscripts are archaeological finds whose importance cannot be underestimated. Many of the texts are without counterparts in the transmitted tradition, and they provide unique insights into the developments of Chinese philosophy in the period between the death of Confucius (551-479 BCE) and the writings of Mencius (c.372-289 BCE), and beyond. Divided into two parts, the book first provides inter-textual contexts and backgrounds of the Guodian manuscripts. The second part covers the main concepts and arguments in the Guodian texts, including cosmology and metaphysics, political philosophy, moral psychology, and theory of human nature. The thematic essays serve as an introduction to the philosophical significance and the key philosophical concepts/thought of each text contained in the Guodian corpus. Each chapter has a section on the implications of the texts for the received tradition, or for the purpose of comparing some of the text(s) with the received tradition in terms of the key philosophical concepts as well as the reading and interpretation of the texts. The volume covers most of the texts inscribed on the 800-odd slips of the Guodian corpus dated to the fourth century BCE.

The Dao De Jing represents one of the most important works of Chinese philosophy, in which the author, Lao Zi (c. 580-500 BC), lays the foundations of Taoism. Composed of 81 short sections, the text itself is written in a poetic style that is ambiguous and challenging for the modern reader. Yet while its meaning may be obscure, the text displays the originality of Lao Zi's wisdom and remains a hugely influential work to this day. In Reading the Dao: A Thematic Inquiry, Wang Keping offers a clear and accessible guide to this hugely important text. Wang's thematic approach opens up key elements of the Dao De Jing in a way that highlights and clarifies the central arguments for the modern reader. Presenting comprehensive textual analysis of key passages and a useful survey of recent Taoist scholarship, the book provides the reader with an insight into the origins of Taoist philosophy. This is the ideal companion to the study of this classic Taoist text.

Compare any of the translations of the Dao De Jing that are available and anyone unfamiliar with the original Chinese might be perplexed that there are such great differences in translation to be found. Indeed, the differences can often be so great that one may wonder if the same original text has been used for the translations. Part of the problem is the abstracted and ambiguous nature of the original Chinese. To overcome the difficulties associated with that text, the translator of this work decided to offer the reader two versions: one a literal, word-for-word, translation, and, the other, a more conventional kind. The literal translation appears side-by-side with the original Chinese, now typeset for greater clarity. These translations are supplemented by a comprehensive set of notes. When this two-fold translation was first made in 1978, such an approach had never been done. Of course, now, with the advent of the internet and computer technology, there are similar versions available as on-line study resources. Nevertheless, there are problems associated with such computer-assisted productions: the approach still benefits from human involvement, and, in any case, there are still many advantages to having works of this kind in book form. This revised 2013 edition has been up-dated to include the currently preferred romanisation of Chinese names and terms and the layout has been much improved.
