The Language of Taoism

 Well, it's been nearly six months since I've posted anything here and I must say that it has to be a record of sorts! I did say at the beginning of this blog that I wasn't the best blogger and this is a reflection of that. However, the fact that I'm blogging today just goes to show that my blogging skills aren't dead and buried just yet!

Anyway, enough of that. I thought I'd write about the language of Taoism. As you know, I am of Chinese descent and I've been looking into various Taoist texts to understand what the philosophy better. One thing that stood out was the language the texts were written in - Mandarin Chinese.
