Dao De Jing Part I
Line By Line Translation & Discussion of Chapters 1-5
If the Yi Jing (Book of Changes) is the flesh and bones that make up classical Chinese thought and culture, then Lao Zi’s Dao De Jing is its heart and soul. Continually sparking new translations and commentaries, it is second only to the Christian Bible in the number of books, commentaries, writings and arguments generated since it was first ‘published’ in the Warring States period–and it is certainly the most important for any practitioner or scholar of the Chinese arts.
In this course, Andrew Nugent-Head goes line by line through the Dao De Jing referencing multiple translations with explanation Professor Wang Jin Huai.
