How meaning is made in text

Text: "any discourse fixed by writing." For linguists, text refers to the visible and palpable surface structure of a work, a coherent sequence of utterances strung together.

How the meaning of a text comes about:

As in the Tao Te Ching, the Tao can be spoken and named. Exactly the same as the Way of Discourse and the Way of Behavior today. There are also texts such as the I Ching and Zhuangzi .......

I think it is the culture as a whole to see and is the reality that we have an intrinsic quality, this quality can be in different time and space in the influence of us, people's understanding of nature or social affairs, is a person to give meaning to the object of things, is the human beings in the form of symbols to convey and communicate the spiritual content. All spiritual contents exchanged by human beings in communication activities, including intention, meaning, intent, realization, conception, etc., are included in the scope of meaning. (Except that China has its own characteristics to be used historically.)
