Abstract
This paper investigates the concepts of “emptying” and “filling” in the Daodejing. After a general theoretical introduction to some essential features of ancient Chinese thinking, the author discusses this theme, interpreting some of the most important passages of the book and indicating breathing as an important image to deepen the Laotian approach to the Dao.
