Description
A new translation based on the Silk Texts A & B unearthed from the Han tombs near Changsha, Hunan Province in China in the year 1973, proved by authorities in ancient Chinese studies to be the most authentic texts of Lao Tzu so far. Late Prof. Huang, a former senior professor at Peking University, Beijing, China, has corrected a vast amount of errors resulting from textual corruption of the various prevalent versions of Lao Tzu that have been passed down to us through the ages. A result of over twelve years of painstaking research and meditation, Professor Huang has created a work that promises to be widely acclaimed and become a standard reference on the subject.
