The Tao Te Ching is an ancient Chinese text focused on the art of living and is considered one of the wonders of the world. It looks at the dilemma of being alive and gives advice for both stability and perception. Modern poet Simon C. H. Lai uses this groundbreaking work for the foundation of his book. The Game of the Dragon is a selection of new poems written as an extension of Tao. These poems look at Tao in a darker light. Lai explores Tao and its symbols and encourages readers to use it daily. He utilizes Tao to soothe emotions and hone peaceful patterns of behavior. Lai's inner peace and study of Lao-tzu's masterwork will inspire readers to seek and do the same, fostering a fulfilled and kinder interaction with others
