The book is a rewrite of the ancient classic Tao Te Ching, or Dao De Jing, which literally means The Classic of Dao and De, composed and compiled by Lao Tzu, or Lao Zi, who lives around 6th century BC. Dao is a preconceived conception, induced from De, which refers to ethics, and to be the paradigm of all existence, whether physical or psychological. Although Tao Te Ching is probably the first one that extensively outlines the conception of Dao, the original source of the notion has already been immemorial and it usually traces back to the Yellow Emperor, or the Lord of The Earth according to the Five-Phases Theory, who is the successor of the Flame Emperor, or the Lord of The Fire, both of whom are founding father living in the legendary era.


The book applies Dao in the modern context to illustrate how our world, both material and spiritual, functions, which enables people to put the fragments of the world into a common frame. It debunks the common conceptions that are so fundamental to define the world that we are familiar with, such as logic, time and causality etc.


The object of any forms of knowledge, whether natural science or psychology, is to co-ordinate our experience and ultimately, in order to fulfill our intention, project realistic outcome of the actions. Therefore, any theory that needs special knowledge is not profound enough to be even close to the truth. Only when it is simple and straightforward enough to be practical at the mass's level and meanwhile still able to offer deep insight that even leading professionals in various fields would acclaim can it be called being penetrating and far-reaching. Any rational adults, regardless of their academic background, origin, religion, gender etc., are all able to testify what is presented in the book based on their real-life experience without the assistance of any instrument.


Although the book only contains twenty thousand words, it's an encyclopedia that is even more comprehensive than all the others combined. Although it only takes hours to read, it would take lifetime to digest. It negates the whole knowledge system of the contemporary world. It is a single theory that explains all the phenomena, whether existing or emerging, whatever matter or consciousness. It answers questions that are insoluble under the orthodox doctrine.


Of course, the book has no intention to convince people anything. It just offers a chance to review the belief system that is previously deemed indubitable.


Lastly, I still recommend Tao Te Ching to my readers as the explicitness of my book comes at the cost of its profoundness.
