Comparative translation and analysis of the Tao Te Ching between Chinese and English.

In the "Tao Te Ching," Lao Tzu tells us that 'Dao' is omnipresent. It has no form or sound, and it cannot be described in language or perceived through the five senses. So, what is 'Dao' exactly? What important influences does it have on our lives? Why must human society follow the 'Dao'? And how should we understand and cognize the 'Dao'?

What exactly is 'Dao'? As we learned in the previous video, 'Dao' is an abstract and hypothetical noun. It can represent all the concepts we want to know. If we want to know something, we can speculate using 'Dao' to obtain predictive results. This is what makes the "Tao Te Ching" very flexible and mysterious.

So, how does Lao Tzu define 'Dao' in the "Tao Te Ching"?
