[Oliver Mardon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sparks alot of curiosity through its deep dive on the history of Taoism, especially expressed through poetry and artwork and how creativity and tranquility interweaves in these art forms. I think it falls short however as it runs stale at times due to the constant references to sources and quotations that makes it feel slightly like a dissertation. Quite a densely packed 240 pages.

The fishing net serves to catch fish.
Let us take the fish and forget the net.
The snare serves to catch the rabbit.
Let us take the rabbit and forget the snare.
