Lao-tzu wrote a historical verse incorporating the phrase Tao Te Ching. The phrase has a modern meaning of the meaning of all life within current thinking and the religion of Buddism. It is a phrase of the classical literature of the culture.

The title of the book is made up of 3 Chinese characters. The first is 道, which means 'the Way', or 'the Path'. It implies the laws that govern the working of the universe. The second is 德,which is often translated as 'the Virtue', although it is more about the application of Tao. The Chinese character for Ching is 经, which means a classic. If we put the 3 words together, they could mean 'The Classic of Tao And Te'
