1, Tao Te Ching
The Classic of Tao Te Ching, also known as the True Classic of Morality, Five Thousand Words of Laozi and Five Thousand Articles of Laozi, was a work before the separation of pre-Qin philosophers in ancient China, which was highly praised by the philosophers at that time. It is a philosophical work written by Laozi (that is, Li Er) in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of China. In the pre-Qin period, Lu's Notes on the Spring and Autumn Period was called Shangzhijing, and in the early Han Dynasty it was called Laozi. This book has been honored as Tao Te Ching since Emperor Han Jing, and it was translated into Sanskrit by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. Tang Gaozong respected Tao Te Ching as Shang Jing, and when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty respected it as Tao Te Ching. The ancient horse king piled up two parts, the first one was a moral article, and the second one was a Taoist article. The modern edition has 8 1 chapters, the first 37 chapters are Taoist chapters, and the last 44 chapters are German chapters. [2] The Tao Te Ching had a profound influence on China's philosophy, science, politics and religion. According to the statistics of UNESCO, the Tao Te Ching is the most widely translated and published cultural masterpiece except the Bible.
2. Yellow Emperor Yinfu Sutra
Also known as Yin Fu Jing, some people say that the book was written by the Yellow Emperor, while others say that it was written by Su Qin during the Warring States Period. Modern scholars believe that it was written in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Yin Fujing linked the old with the easy, and Li Zhi divided it into "the way for the immortal to embrace one", "the way for enriching the country and comforting the people" and "the way for Qiang Bing to win". The whole book discusses health preservation by metaphor, and it is far from reaching the goal for a fool not to check the tactics in Sun Tzu's Art of War or Su Qin's Tai Gong Yin Fu Zhi Ji. For example, The Pure Yang Plays the True Classics, and the Emperor Blesss, the whole article is written in military terms, and people who don't know it will recognize it as a military book at first glance.
