About this deck

Chinese civilisation has been shaped, more than by any other intellectual force, by the long conversation between two indigenous traditions. Confucianism — the way of human propriety, ritual, social harmony, and educated cultivation. Taoism — the way of nature, spontaneity, non-coercion, and the dao that exceeds names. Each defines itself partly in relation to the other. Key sections include: Taoism & Confucianism. 道 · 儒; Opening The two pillars.; Chapter I Before Confucius and Lao Tzu.; Chapter II Confucius.; Chapter III The texture of the Analects.; Chapter IV Mencius.; Chapter V Xunzi.; Chapter VI Lao Tzu.; Chapter VII Chuang Tzu.; Chapter VIII Religious Daoism..
