Five Lost Classics: Tao, Huang-Lao, and Yin-Yang in Han China

Are you looking for a readable, yet mature appoach to some of the greatest writings of China? This book does it for you. With the Chinese script on the facing page you can work out the translations on a sentence-by sentence pace, stick to the Chinese only, or read the English only. I recommend that, depending on your level, you at least try to do all three. Don't forget the footnotes! They are worth the extra time and effort. This is a good book to simply enjoy or a well done book for the serious researcher.This book is part of the first generation of thorough research works on the Mawangdui Silks that goes beyond the eearlier archaeological scans and probes the depths of what is presently known about HuangLao DaoismYin-Yang thought, and the canons.
