The Legend of Laozi's Tao Te Ching was written by Laozi Li Er in the Spring and Autumn Period (it seems to be a collection of authors, annotators and scribes), and it is an important source of Taoist philosophy. Tao Te Ching is divided into two parts. The first part of the original text is the Tao Te Ching, and the second part is the Tao Te Ching, without chapters. Later, it was changed to the Tao Te Ching in the first 37 chapters, and the Tao Te Ching in the last 38 chapters, divided into 8 1 chapters. This is the first complete philosophical work in the history of China.

Tao Te Ching takes the philosophical meaning of "virtue" as the main line, and discusses the ways of self-cultivation, governing the country, using troops and keeping in good health, mostly for the purpose of politics. It is the so-called "inner sage and outer king" theory, which has profound meaning and wide tolerance and is known as the king of all classics.
