The Book of Tao has been considered the most beautiful work of ancient Chinese literature and the founding text of Taoism. Its authorship is attributed to Lao-tzu, who probably lived between the VI and III centuries BC It is a set of proverbs and rhymes designing a wise behavior for life: a path (called Tao) that is not already mapped, it is made by walking; as the water course that depends on the channel through which passes the path of Tao is the underlying, invisible truth to guide us. Like water, the wise man is able to live according to the Tao, accommodating nature and nature.
