In Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu established a philosophy centered on Tao, the extraordinary way, which transcends but indwells everything. His principles, including respects of nature, striving for inner purity, and reduction of personal desire, have been important idealistic goals for Chinese people for tens of centuries. This bi-linguistic version of Tao Te Ching is il ustrated with a lot of ancient paintings and murals which either are related to the ideas of Tao or are directly the descriptions of the immortals.
