书籍简介

若不了解道的思想，就不可能理解中华文明。道家哲学不仅塑造了中国人的精神世界，也塑造了艺术、科学和政治。道家的基本思想起初汇集于公元前300年左右成书的《道德经》。这本篇幅短小、充满智慧却又谦逊的著作，对哲学和政治产生了深远的影响。

本书以引人入胜的简洁修辞风格，探讨了如何过上简朴、平和、和谐的生活，如何摆脱欲望，以及如何在自由社会中摆脱滋生贪婪的制度。这本双语版的《道德经》保留了中文原文，并在对开页附上了新的译文。此外，本书还新增了引言，探讨了文本作者的争议和编者注。本书共收录了81个简短章节，涵盖了从政治家的忠告到普通百姓的智慧箴言等各个方面。

《道德经》影响深远，跨越千年，堪称经典，值得拥有这本精美的版本。

No understanding of Chinese civilization is possible without a grasp of Taoism, the philosophy that has shaped not just Chinese spirituality but also art, science and politics. And it was in the Tao Te Ching, written around 300BC, that the fundamental beliefs of Taoism were first gathered. This short, wise but very humble book went on to influence on philosophy and politics.

In a compellingly simple rhetorical style the book addresses how to live a simple, peaceful and harmonious life, how to rid oneself of desires and free society of institutions that promote greed. This dual-language edition of Tao Te Ching presents the original Chinese characters with a new translation on the facing page. With a new introduction that discusses the questioned authorship of the text and editorial notes, all 81 brief chapters are included, ranging from advice for politicians to wise words for the everyday person.

Of immense influence across millennia, Tao Te Ching is a classic text richly deserving this exquisite edition.

作者简介

老子，或称“老子”，是一个尊称，意为“老夫子”。《道德经》不太可能出自一人之手，但如果他真的存在，他的名字是李耳。传统上，《道德经》成书于公元前六世纪，编纂此书时参考了众多古代文献资料。

詹姆斯·特拉普是《汉字：汉字的艺术与意义》和《中国谚语》的作者，他还翻译了畅销的《孙子兵法》多语种新版。他毕业于伦敦大学亚非学院（SOAS）的中文专业，教授普通话，曾担任大英博物馆中国藏品教育官员。

Lao Tzu, or Laozi, is an honorific title meaning 'Old Master', and it is unlikely that the Tao Te Ching or Daodejing was written by one person, but if he did exist, his name was Li Er. Traditionally written in the sixth century BCE, there are a number of ancient text sources that have been used to compile this version.

James Trapp is the author of Chinese Characters: The Art and Meaning of Hanzi, Chinese Proverbs and also has translated a bestselling new multilingual edition of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. A Chinese language graduate of the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, he teaches Mandarin and was previously an Education Officer on the China Collection at the British Museum.
