Chinese thought and philosophy The Germans have a penchant for analytical thought, and research into Daoists and Daoism is very much to their taste. Hence it is not only very popular with sinologists, but also arouses a great deal of interest among the general public. Richard Wilhelm's early translation of The Book of Changes has never been out of print, and a copy can be found in almost every middle and upper-class household.
德國人好思辯，道家和道教的研究正合他們的口味，因此，不僅是德國漢學的熱門主題之一，也引起一般民眾的廣泛興趣，衛禮賢早年翻譯的《易經》，至今仍不斷再版，中上階級德國家庭幾乎每家必備。
