Book excerpt: Kuanyin Tzu, or True Man of Wenshih, is Yin Hsi, Frontier Com-mander of Hankukuan Pass. He is one of the ten great thinkers in The Pre-Ch’in Period. He is also a senior official, general and philosopher as well as an educator in The Eastern Chou Dynasty. He is a founder of the Taoist School and a contemporary of Lao Tzu. He is the first man in inheriting and propagating Lao Tzu or Tao Te Ching in human history. According to Historical Records, “Lao Tzu studied the theory of Tao and virtue which takes living in seclusion and no-name as its top priority. He lived in the capital of The Eastern Chou Dynasty for a long time and seeing that The Eastern Chou Dynasty was on the de-cline, he left there. When he arrived at Hankukuan Pass, Yin Hsi, Frontier Commander of Hankukuan Pass, said to him, ‘You’re going to live in seclusion. Would you please be so kind as to write a book for me?’ Thus, Lao Tzu wrote a book consisting of Part One and Part Two which describes the contents of Tao and virtue with over 5,000 Chi-nese characters and then he left. Nobody knew where he had gone.” This book is called Lao Tzu or Tao Te Ching, a classical work with the largest number of editions and the largest number of publications in human history.
