The Original Chinese Texts Of The Work Of Laou-Tsze; The Great Learning; The Doctrine Of The Mean (1861) is a book written by James Legge. It is a collection of the original Chinese texts of three important works of Chinese philosophy - the Tao Te Ching by Laozi (also known as Laou-Tsze), The Great Learning, and The Doctrine of the Mean. The book includes the Chinese texts of these works along with English translations and notes by Legge. The Tao Te Ching is one of the most important works of Taoism, and it is a collection of 81 poetic verses that explore the nature of the Tao (the Way) and the principles of living a good life. The Great Learning and The Doctrine of the Mean are both works of Confucianism, and they explore the principles of self-cultivation and the importance of balance and moderation in life.James Legge was a Scottish sinologist who was known for his translations of Chinese texts. He was a professor of Chinese language and literature at the University of Oxford, and he spent many years in China studying and translating Chinese works. The Original Chinese Texts Of The Work Of Laou-Tsze; The Great Learning; The Doctrine Of The Mean (1861) is one of his most important works, and it is still widely used today as a reference for scholars and students of Chinese philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
