The article presents the results of a new (authorized) translation of the ancient Chinese text by Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching. This ancient text in the world of science is a representative of basic concepts of Chinese culture, Chinese society and the Chinese state. Basic concepts of the Tao Te Ching are Tao and Te.
