I love Ursula Le Guin's writing so damn much. I am reading, "Lathe of Heaven" right now, such a great book to come off of Sula by Toni Morrison.

Coincidentally - or perhaps not! - Le Guin borrowed the title for The Lathe of Heaven from an awkward late-1800s translation of the Zhuangzi.

  I am just reading about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuang_Zhou https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuang_Zhou now (author of Zhuangzi). At the beginning of every chapter (in Lathe of Heaven) is a quote or extract from Zhuang Zhou's writing. I just found a short chat by Kim Stanley Robinson where he mentions Le Guin's translation of the Tao Te Ching, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atf7wvPmhjo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atf7wvPmhjo
