The version closest to Laozi's original intention: The Silk Text Version of Tao Te Ching.

When reading ancient books and classics, we should first read the authentic copies and understand the thoughts of the authors from the source. Only in this way can we find the true origins of Chinese culture, and also have a more immersive experience of dialogue with the ancient wise.

In 1973, the Silk Text Version of the 'Laozi's 5000 Words' (A and B versions), unearthed at Mawangdui in Changsha, Hunan, caused a sensation around the world. There's a saying in China that 'the closer to the ancient, the truer it preserves'. After comparing the Silk Text Version of Tao Te Ching with the handed-down version, it was found that the Silk Text Version retained more of Laozi's original intention and was closer to the Laozi's own thoughts
