This bold new translation by two brilliant poets offers a contemporary perspective on a timeless masterpiece of Daoist scripture, introducing the Dao De Jing to a new audience while retaining the majesty of the Chinese original. Composed of eighty-one short poems written by the sage Laozi in 400 BC, the Dao De Jing is one of the pillars of Chinese thought, the ultimate “wisdom book” with influence that has spread to the Western world. It can be read as philosophical instructions for living, equally applicable to the recluse and to the aspiring leader of nations.
Acclaimed poet Li-Young Lee and poet and scholar Yun Wang illuminate the Dao De Jing as a unified work of art, with a stunning combination of fathomless depths, enlightening insight and vivid beauty. Based on extensive study of ancient Chinese language as well as contemporary scholarship on the Dao De Jing, this revelatory and faithful translation―presented alongside the original Chinese text―reveals its enduring teachings in their profound simplicity, subtlety and balance.

This book examines one of the world’s most enduring and influential literary works through the timeless art of qigong. In his words, Lao Tzu (or Laozi), author of the Dao De Jing, embodies qigong principles, advocating the cultivation of mind and body. Only when we know qigong can we know Lao Tzu—and only when we know Lao Tzu can we know the Dao De Jing.
Lao Tzu’s writing has been read, translated, and discussed around the globe. It deals with principles that transcend time and culture. That is why this ancient text has been reimagined countless times in books on business, relationships, and parenting—but never with a focus on the art of qigong. This makes the Dao De Jing: A Qigong Interpretation unique and indispensible.
Many chapters in the Dao De Jing purely talk about qigong, especially the practices of regulating the body, breathing, mind, qi, and spirit.
Dr. Yang, a renowned author, scholar, and martial artist, devoted decades to researching and writing this book. He interprets and analyzes the 81 chapters of the Dao De Jing. His commentary will bring new insight, inspiration, and depth to your understanding of Lao Tzu’s words—and to your qigong practice.
