《老子与道家》从各角度深刻解读了老子与道家之间的关系、老子思想的形成过程，以及从庙堂到民间的过程中道家文化的不断发扬光大。汉朝初年，统治者用黄老思想治国，开启了老子哲学的黄金时代，到汉武帝宣布"独尊儒术"，道家就离开了朝廷，转向了民间。到魏晋时期，又一度通过玄学家的研究，使道家思想得以发扬光大......老子、庄子和其他道家人物，以他们过人的智慧，创立了非常深刻的哲学。和古代任何民族相比，他们的哲学都毫不逊色。道家提倡道法自然，自然无为，提倡与自然和谐相处。道家思想的特点是无所不容，无所不包。先秦各学派中，道家虽然没有儒家和墨家有那么多的门徒，地位也不如儒家崇高，但随着历史的发展，道家思想以其独有的宇宙、社会和人生领悟，在哲学思想上呈现出永恒的价值与生命力。佛教传入我国后，也受到了道家的影响，禅宗在诸多方面受到了庄子的启发。（Lao-Tzu and Taoism profoundly interprets the relationship between Lao-Tzu and Taoism, the formation of Lao-Tzu's thought, and the development of Taoist culture from temple to folk in various aspects. In the early Han Dynasty, the rulers used Huang-Lao thought to govern the country and opened the golden age of Lao-Tzu's philosophy. Taoism left the court to the folk when Emperor of Han Dynasty proclaimed "original Confucianism", and it was again carried forward through metaphysical study in Wei and Jin Dynasties... Lao-Tzu, Chuang-Tzu and other Taoist figures created a profound philosophy with their extraordinary wisdom, which was no less philosophical than any of other ancient peoples. Taoism promotes natural law, natural inaction and harmonious coexistence between man and nature, characterized by all-embracing and all-encompassing. Although Taoism didn't have so many disciples like Confucianism and Mohism, and its status was not as noble as that of Confucianism, but with the development of history, Taoism, with its unique universe, society and life comprehend, appeared an eternal value and vitality in philosophical thought. After Buddhism was introduced into China, it was influenced by Taoism as well, with Zen inspired by Chuang-Tzu in many aspects.）
