Speaking of "classics", it is obvious that "Tao Te Ching" is, after all, a language condensed by Laozi's life experience at his request, which is complete and accurate and can be called "classics"; The Analects of Confucius is only a collation of notes, but it is regarded as a classic by later generations because of its high ideological level. No one will recite this note now. . .

However, if "classic" only refers to which is higher, it doesn't make sense. There are different views, depending on the individual's philosophical tendency. Undoubtedly, both of them are the ideological source of the school and are the classics of the ancestor level.
