description: The Tao Tê Ching is the acknowledged masterpeice of Taoist philosophy. Starkly simple in form yet infinitely enigmatic in meaning. It is written in language of great subtlety, tantalising and fascinating readers of every kind for more than 2000 years. It is said to owe its origin to Lao Tzu, a contemporary of Confucious, but its derivation is as mysterious as its interpretation.Cover Illustration: Part of a Ko'ssu panel, Chinese, mid 18th Century Taoist Paradise Scene.
