Absolute Lao Zi is Yen Zun's annotations of Lao Zi, where he explicates his understanding of Lao li based on the themes found within and constructs his own philosophical system. Yen Zun uses the idea of ​​"nature of Tao" - with emphases on the nothingness of Tao as reality, the nature of Tao, and the flourishing of the world in harmony with nature - and re-interpret Taoist thoughts from the perspective that the way of man should be conjunct with the way of heaven; the power of his influence is certainly profound. This paper is intended to explore the followings issues in terms of the thoughts in Absolute Lao Zi: first, the "Shf-Wu" of Tao as reality shows that Tao is fundamental to the being and transcendence of world; second, it is to explain the generative principle of Tao Te, divinity, harmony and the cosmos; third, it is to point out that Absolute Tao Te advocates the self-generation of the world within the Taoist framework of Wu wei; fourth, the function of Tao is to advocate the reduction of desires and the preservation of virtue, as well as the conservation of spirit and life, to form a political philosophy of humanism and Wu wei. It's expected that these explorations can illustrate the rich meanings embedded in Absolute Tao Te and the great impact it makes
