metadata.value: The broad semantic representation of the concept “Tao” is shown on the example of ancient
  Chinese philosophical treatises: “Lun yu”, “Tao de jing”, “Zhong-tzu”, “Mo-tzu”, “Xun-tzu” and
  “Sun-tzu”. The presentation of these works is nominated in contemporary Chinese studies by
  the term “Chinese Yuandian”, emphasizing the influential power of the most important original
  philosophical treatises. The conceptual substantiation of “Tao” and the timeless value of
  its conceptual perception determined the purpose of this article: i. e., to show the formation
  of the concept of “Tao” in the philosophical system of Lao-tzu and to reveal the versatility of
  interpretations of “Tao” by different schools in the history of Chinese civilization; to present
  analysis of the evolution of its representation by modern Chinese researchers and Russian
  sinologists. The article makes an attempt to represent the concept “Tao” within the framework
  of linguocognitive approach through the methods of conceptualization and categorization.
  The study analyzes the representation of the concept “Tao” in Lao-tzu in three main aspects of philosophy: ontological, epistemological and axiological. The description of the construction
  of the concept “Tao” in Lao-tzu’s philosophical system is aimed at the perception of the interpretations
  of “Tao” by other schools in Chinese culture. The conclusion about the spread of the
  influential power of “Tao” beyond Taoism determined the impact of Lao-tzu’s philosophical
  thought on other iconic thinkers of the Pre-Qin schools. The similarities and differences in
  the interpretation of “Tao” as the same keyword used by all the Pre-Qin schools are vividly
  reflected in the Chinese yuandian, indicating the universally recognized status of “Tao” in
  Chinese culture.
