Generally speaking, Tao Te Ching is a book about being born and entering the WTO. If the wisdom contained in it is thoroughly studied and used freely, China's accession to the WTO can make generals and people born immortal. We ordinary people can learn the Tao Te Ching from the basics.
First of all, we should have a general understanding of China's traditional culture. First of all, we should read Confucian classics, such as the Book of Changes and the Analects of Confucius. Secondly, we should read Buddhist classics, such as Diamond Sutra and Tanjing. After we have a basic impression of traditional values such as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, it will be much easier to learn the Tao Te Ching.
The second is to cultivate a certain writing and language ability and have a certain understanding of ancient Chinese. If you don't understand words and allusions, look up information and expand your knowledge. Without profound knowledge, it is difficult to learn the Tao Te Ching well. Now the network is very developed, and self-study is not bad. It is also possible to listen to other people's explanations online.
Third, we must have the perseverance to read repeatedly for many years. No matter how to interpret the ancient classic Tao Te Ching, future generations may not be able to tell the author's original intention, but only read more and understand more. The so-called "read a book a hundred times and see its meaning"! That's the truth.
Fourth, we should always study and remember. The purpose of memory is daily life. Only by following the wisdom in the book can we really read. Otherwise, learning without using it or doing the opposite is a waste of time. You'd better not read for nothing.
