Lao Tzu`s work, the Tao Te Ching, is one of the most significant treatises in Chinese philosophy.
It is his magnum opus, covering large areas of philosophy from individual spirituality and inter-personal dynamics to political techniques. The Tao Te Ching is said to contain `hidden` instructions for Taoist adepts (often in the form of metaphors) relating to Taoist meditation and breathing.
Lao Tzu developed the concept of "Tao", often translated as "the Way", and widened its meaning to an inherent order or property of the universe: "The way Nature is". He highlighted the concept of Wei wuwei, or "action without action". This does not mean that one should hang around and do nothing, but that one should avoid explicit intentions, strong wills or proactive initiatives.
Lao Tzu believed that violence should be avoided as much as possible, and that military victory-which logically would be attained through use of force-should be an occasion for mourning rather than triumphant celebration.
Lao Tzu said that the codification of laws and rules created difficulty and complexity in managing and governing.
As with most other ancient Chinese philosophers, Lao Tzu often explains his ideas by way of paradox, analogy, appropriation of ancient sayings, repetition, symmetry, rhyme, and rhythm. The writings attributed to him are often very dense and poetic. They serve as a starting point for cosmological or introspective meditations. Many of the aesthetic theories of Chinese art are widely grounded in his ideas and those of his most famous follower Zhuang Zi.
