Major Works of Taoism
More than Lao Tzu
The most notable book on tao and taoism is Tao Te Ching 道德经, also known as Lao Tzu, name of the author.
In addition to Lao Tzu, there are many other notable works on tao and taoism.
The most prominent among them is I Ching 易经, also known as Yijing. Written more than 5,000 years ago with its first versions written on oracles, it is one of the oldest surviving books of the world.I Ching is regarded as the most prominent of all Chinese classics. The yin-yang concept introduced in Tao Te Ching is given full treatment in I Ching.
Chuang Tzu 庄子 is another prominent philosopher of Tao. In his book, know as Chuang Tzu or Zhuangzi, the philosopher introduces tao and taoism by using fables, making Tao comprehensible. I quote a number of his fables on this website.
The Art of War by SunTzu 孙子, on the other hand, is the most famous book on applying Dao in military strategies.
