Last updated 2026-11-13 — This archway is called the "Gate to All Wonders" because the phrase originates from Chapter One of Laozi’s Dao De Jing: “The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth; the named is the mother of myriad things. Thus, always without desire, one observes its mysteries; always with desire, one observes its manifestations. These two emerge together but differ in name. The unity is said to be the mystery. Mystery of mysteries, it is the gate to all wonders.” This signifies the profound and vast nature of Laozi’s philosophy.
