@Daniel what dictionary do you usually use?

Which dictionary do you use?

Are you sure this translates as ‘Dao’? 道 does not always mean ‘Dao’.
-
Yes, I’m familiar with it, I had a thread about it on the Original Dao forum, and posted about it last month here on DB. The Chinese call it a wind box (橐籥 = 風箱 - wind box). English https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wind box I prefer this name to distinguish it from this I edited my above post to clarify the distinction.

Dao = morality.

Often translated as “The Dao is like a bellows”, there actually is no ‘Dao’ mentioned in Ch. 5 part 2 line 1. 天 地 之 間 亓 猷 橐 籥 tian1 di4 zhi1 jian4 qi2 you2 tuo2 yue4 - the space between sky and earth, is it not like a wind box?
-
This type of bellows would be a euphemism for the male ‘willie’. Ch. 5 refers to the wind box, which is a euphemism for the female womb

Congratulations with your new altar. Suggestions: a little willow branch and some flowers (imo may be artificial); a tiny bottle of water (not everyone has a temple nearby, imo tap water will do); fruit, especially peaches (imo may be eaten by you). But great as it is.

It also used human body parts.

Anyone here practise Chinese classical martial-arts?
Cobie replied to galen_burnett's topic in The Rabbit Hole
I don’t practice it. But I still would like to see your view, as I think it might be interesting to read. Possibly start with a digest. See if anyone takes an interest. -
Hi SilenceMonkey. Welcome to the forum. You say you spent some time learning Chinese. So have I, but am finding it very difficult. Have you looked at the Tao Te Ching in Chinese characters? And if so (to start at the beginning) what is your translation of Ch. 1?
