"Tao Te Ching" is a classical work of Chinese philosophy dating from the time of Confucius (551-479 BCE), authored by Lao-tzu, whose name means "The Old Master". It talks about the art of living with humor, grace, large-heartedness, and deep wisdom.
The work is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism, and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism, Confucianism and Chinese Buddhism. From the outset, the book differentiates a path that can be expressed (lower-case tao) from the inscrutable, eternal Way (upper-case Tao).
Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers have used the "Tao Te Ching" as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, and is amongst the most translated works in world literature.
