Lao-Tze's Tao-Teh-King: Chinese-English; With Introduction, Transliteration, and Notes (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Lao-Tze's Tao-Teh-King: Chinese-English; With Introduction, Transliteration, and Notes
Considering the denunciations which lao-tze hurled against both oppression and false benevo lence and the bitterness and sufferings which he had to endure, the meaning of these names seems startling enough, and were these places not actually in existence they would suggest that lao-tze's birth and life were a myth. But Professor Douglas might have added that the coincidence, interesting though it is, is not as remarkable as it appears to Europeans who are unacquainted with the peculiarities Of the Chinese language which make such a play of words possible and quite common; for puns are far easier in Chinese than even in French.
