Huang's translation is the first to incorporate four major archaeological findings, which have been preserved for millennia in ancient tombs, most of which were only discovered in the late twentieth century: the Guodian Chu slips, the Mawangdui silk texts, the Fu Yi version, and the Peking University bamboo slips. Huang argues that these key source materials \"contextualize \u003cem\u003eThe Dao De Jing \u003c\/em\u003emuch in the same way the Dead Sea Scrolls illuminate the New Testament.\" The result is a groundbreaking translation that offers readers the first opportunity in over two millennia to thoroughly comprehend all of the teachings contained in these eighty-one chapters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 9.2 x 6.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 05, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51758574076192,"sku":"9780063135857","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/3adffd0446c5fdf5a86308b4cc7dfe88_0cf960cb-e612-4f5c-a682-634f80818ff5.webp?v=1780129578","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-dao-de-jing-laozis-book-of-life-a-new-translation-from-the-ancient-chinese-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
