Accordingly his book enjoys a rapidly increasing number of readers today. There are, consequently, more than a dozen of English versions of the Dao De ting available published in various countries.
This is a newly revised edition of the Dao De Jing (Tao-Te Ching). It bears particular reference to the Mawangdui silk-copies and other old versions including those of Wang Bi and Heshang Gong, etc. What is most noteworthy herein are a number of textual rearrangements and modifications. All this is largely based on recent philological studies of the Daoist (Taoist) classic made by such leading Lao Zi (Lao-tzu) scholars as Gu Di, Zhou Ying, Chen Guying, Ren Jiyu, Gao Heng, Ma Xulun, Yan Lingfeng, Sha Shaohai and many others.
