The Tale of Dounio Dowa

Japanese: 道二翁道話 - どうにおうどうわ

A compilation of the Taoist discourses of Nakazawa Doji, a Shingon scholar from the mid-Edo period. Six volumes and 15 volumes. Edited by Hachimiyasai. The first volume was published in 1795 (Kansei 7), and the sequels by 1824 (Bunsei 7). Even after the Meiji period, it has often been printed in print. Doji preaches the Tao, but it is the way of adapting and the way of harmony between heaven and earth. He has been criticized for being a government-sponsored scholar because he includes the shogunate's public notices as subjects for his Taoist discourses, but he saw the Tao as being shown there, just as he would quote the Analects or Mencius.

Japanese:

江戸中期の心学者中沢道二の道話を編集したもの。6編15巻。八宮斎の編集。初編は1795年(寛政7)，続編は1824年(文政7)までに刊行された。明治以後もしばしば活字になっている。道二は道を説くが，それは順応の道であり，天地和合の道である。幕府の高札も道話の主題にとりあげているので，御用学問であると非難されるが，彼はそこに道が示されていると見たのであり，《論語》や《孟子》を引用するのと同じであった。
