After years of research and study, he has made significant progress in three important areas and successfully corrected all the misinterpretations. His new translation let Lao Tzu's words finally make good sense to readers. His work takes the translation of the Tao Te Ching to the next level of better accuracy, coherence and contextualization, while keeping the sentences reasonably concise.

It will help you read Lao Tzu's book with greater understanding, re-examine its original meaning, and find out what it means to you today. The content of this book: Introduction, Translation, Pinyin version, Annotation, Notes, and a Brief Analysis of the Symbol Pair for each of eighty-one chapters.

Yuhui Liang has in-depth research on the Tao Te Ching and published many papers on the subject and made some progress in the following three areas:

(1)Having successfully revealed the relationship between Non-Being and Being, as well as their dynamic structures, and the relationship between the Tao and our inermost nature.

(2)Having reexamined the most important words (Tao,Te,Ming, etc.) used in Lao Tzu's book by analyzing their oldest written forms and figured out their true meanings in the context of the TaoTe Ching.

(3)Having discovered that Lao Tzu had used an ancient nine-type system (the ancient Chinese version of Enneagram) to form a system of eighty one pairs of symbols and drawn creative inspiration for the Tao Te Ching from them.

And with these research breakthroughs, he has a pretty reliable way to be true to Lao Tzu's original intent and is able to introduce Lao Tzu's teaching in form of a system of philosophy. 
He is also the author of Meaning and Meaning Analysis.
