The Tao Te Ching is also known as Lao Tzu, the name of its author.
Since the English versions of the Tao Te Ching are translations of the original Chinese text in Chinese, they are not totally the same. While the title is most commonly translated as Tao Te Ching, it is also known as Tao Teh Ching, Tao Te King and Daodejing. Lao Tzu, on the other hand, is also translated as Laozi or Lao Tze.
There are 81 chapters in the Tao Te Ching. The chapters are sometimes also known as verses in English translation. It is separated into 2 sections, Tao (道)and Te (德).
Taoism is the religion where the Ching is known. The Tao Te Ching is known as a Chinese classic text along with Dao De Jing. The Ching is also spelled Yijing.
