there are two versions of tao te ching, you mean you dunno? do you know which is the historical one and which was the popular one? do you know why there is a difference in terms of wording? the sounds holds the key.

i don't bother how many versions are there. i am not into that.

please show an example. just a sample would do. a line. to show that the sounds hold the key.

LOL!!! okay.

why you reply to this kina of nonsense so fast but serious discussion you take so long leh?

one version is a common version which we have known for ages but probably it was passed down from generation to generation and because of this and the change of sounds from old chinese to mandarin, it became inaccurate. the other version was uncovered by archelogy recently in 1973 and dated back to the time of the western han dynasty. the lingua of western han dynasty was old chinese. this shows differences in wording. the simple reason, the modern version is inaccurate because it was corrupted by foreign sounds esp. from mandarin and hence the words changed. the old chinese western han version is accurate

guess which version is the western han version?

we are coming to that but you must tell us what is your interpretation in mandarin? it seems that you cant or google only gives you the first two lines ....

i told u i am not interested in playing games. if u don't believe me that i understand the meaning of dao de jing chapter 1, then so be it.

if u could prove your point, then why bother about whether i could understand the first chapter? just throw in one line, an example that using ancient chinese to recite, make whole lot of difference.

LOL you know there were two versions. there shld be one but we have tow because mandarin and the change of sounds throughtout history corrupted the text and now we have two.

i dun even want to embarrass you and ask you how come you know one version but tell uncle about the other. anybody with some knowledge abt tao de ching will know abt this.

u don't know shit lah. if u know u would show it to lim peh. simple as that. people would now know you are just a bullshitter. a pseudo-intellect.

case close okay? mandarin could be use to recite dao de jing, therefore, mandarin could connect to chinese root, thousand of years ago. case close.

case close because chow si kar cannot understand chinese and does not know that tao de ching has two versions, a moden corrupted mandarin version and an unadulterated old chinese version unearthed by archaeologists recently....LOL...

case close because both version could be recite in mandarin. only a moron like u refuse to admit this simple fact.

thanks for accepting that we have different versions. whether you recite in mandarin or english does not matter but original meaning would have been lost thanks to use of mandarin, if not for accidental archaeological find, the old chinese version would be lost and unknown. all of use would be reading the wrong thing.

thats why it is important to know abt old chinese and impt to connect to our old chinese roots and the best way is to remember your dialects
