It is intended as a \u003cb\u003eguarded rendering\u003c\/b\u003e of the original text.\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eDao De Jing\u003c\/i\u003e exists in multiple versions, transmitted through different textual lineages. The text used for this translation is said to come from a Daoist lineage and is regarded by some as particularly authentic. In a few places, its wording differs slightly from the widely circulated Wang Bi recension. Such variations may arise from differences in transmission or copying, and are not necessarily matters of right or wrong.\u003cbr\u003eThe study of the classics admits no single interpretation, and the reading of the text naturally varies from person to person.
