The Annotation of Tao Te Ching is one of the Annotations of Tao Te Ching written by Xu Dachun in Qing Dynasty. It is divided into two volumes, Attending Beijing and Xia Jing, with a total of 8 1 chapter. The volume is prefaced by the author and signed in the 25th year of Qianlong (1760). "Preface" said: "Fu Shu is not solid in words, Tao is not in the book but not in it. Write when you know the book is strong, and the title is strong and famous. If you seek from its power, you must be strong. If you get it from someone who is not strong, you can't speak. If you know the truth, you will still write books because you are strong. If the latecomers can know this meaning, the Tao Te Ching will be clear. If they know this meaning, they will be clear without the Tao Te Ching. " Tao can be Tao, but extraordinary ",this is the purpose of five thousand words, that is, the meaning of five thousand words is sparse." The book "Style" says that there are dozens of ancient annotations, which are always impure unless they are accidental. "I only read the scriptures, deeply involved, and I am straightforward. He also pointed out: "The study of old history is different from the Six Classics, which are books with rich cultural relics after the Middle Ages. Xiu De's method of governing the country by fighting for health is based on the essence handed down by ancient sages, so his teaching is called the Yellow Emperor, and it is simple to use and quick to get results. In the Han dynasty, officials learned from each other, which was called an extreme rule, and later generations had different opinions. The so-called corporal laughs when he hears this word. The book annotates the Tao Te Ching from the perspective of "self-cultivation and governing the country", and each sentence is accompanied by annotations. A note to this book in the General Catalogue of Sikuquanshu says: "Those whose words are clear in meaning by referring to other books, whose exegesis infer the ancient meaning from top to bottom, are mainly concise and concise, with the general idea similar to that of Zhang Erqi's Lao Zi Shuo, but they are still good books in Lao Zi Zhu. The first volume of Daoism, Xu's Medical Books, Xu's Miscellaneous Books and Tibetan Daoism Books have been published.
