The Tao Te Ching is divided into two parts, the original text of the first part of the "Book of Virtues", the next part of the "Book of Virtues", not divided into chapters, and later changed to "The Book of Virtues" 37 chapters in front, after the 38th chapter is the "Book of Virtues", and is divided into 81 chapters. It is the first complete philosophical work in Chinese history.

The Tao Te Ching was enshrined as a Taoist classic from 206 BC to 200 AD, so some scholars believe that the Tao Te Ching is divided into eighty-one chapters, which has an obvious Taoist idea of ninety-nine to one, which is far-fetched in the division of content. However, the first 37 chapters of the Tao Te Ching preach and the last 44 chapters speak of virtue, simply put, the Tao is the body, and the virtue is the use, and the two cannot be equated. In the Qing Dynasty, Wei Yuan broke this convention for the first time and divided the Tao Te Ching into sixty-eight chapters, relatively maintaining the integrity of each chapter.
