Tao Te Ching
视之不见名曰夷，听之不闻名曰希，抟之不得名曰微。此三者，不可致诘，故混而为一。其上不皦，其下不昧。绳绳不可名，复归于无物。是谓无状之状，无物之象，是谓忽恍。迎之不见其首，随之不见其后，执古之道，以御今之有，以知古始，是谓道纪。

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.
