Tao Te Ching
载营魄。抱一，能无离，专气致柔，能婴儿。涤除玄览，能无疵。爱民治国，能无为。天门开阖，能为雌。明白四达，能无知。生之、畜之。生而不有，为而不恃，长而不宰，是谓玄德。

The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Laozi. The text's authorship, date of composition and date of compilation are debated. The Tao Te Ching is fundamental to the Philosophical Taoism and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism and Neo-Confucianism.
