    "The Tao Teh King, or the Tao and its Characteristics," is a book by the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tze. In the book, Lao describes the Tao: as a guiding principle of the universe and all within it. The author explores the nature of dualities and complements, dissecting strength and weakness, presence and absence, and life and death. The Tao Teh King has served as a foundation for centuries of philosophy and wisdom.

    Author

    Laozi

    Laozi was a Chinese philosopher and author commonly understood to have lived in the 6th century BC, although the time of his life is much disputed, and he has become as much a legend as a historical figure. Traditionally credited as the author of The Book of Tao, also known as The Tao Te Ching and The Tao and Its Characteristics, he is regarded as the father of Taoism and one of the most universally influential figures in Chinese culture.
