Supporting citation for public claim

The Daodejing functions in philosophical and religious Daoist contexts; reducing it to modern self-help quotations is misleading.

Answer / theory: Both, depending on context. What supports it: Its role in Daoist tradition and Chinese intellectual history. What is weak or disputed: Treating it as only self-help quotes is too narrow. Evidence level: Strong Evidence.
