Read 400 words of Laozi's Tao Te Ching (1)
Throughout thousands of years, the understanding of the Tao Te Ching has blossomed, from self-cultivation to governing the country and the world, to religious worship. All kinds of words just stay in human phenomenology. My explanation of Laozi's Tao can be summarized in one sentence: stillness is relative and motion is absolute. This is the Tao.
First of all, I don't stick to the name of Tao because I have to do it. I can make an analogy: as far as the earth we live in is concerned, it is static, so it is relative, but the earth changes from day to night and then to the four seasons all year round, so it is moving, endless and absolute. With this absolute movement, what the earth shows us is not the deliberate movement of human will, but the stillness that people cannot objectively perceive.
I can use the wind as a metaphor. You will feel a little cold when the wind blows on your face, but it exists, as if it were nothing. Because you don't know when it will blow, this is Laozi's first view of nature in the universe. From the human point of view, to achieve this situation, it is necessary to practice, and this kind of practice is the beginning for people to understand everything. Lao Tzu said that humanity is like a baby. Sports once existed, and this kind of sports continued until people died. Laozi's way is neither birth nor death. It moves quietly like the wind, for the absolute moving life. Only when you are calm can you achieve this Tao, and this silence I am talking about is not absolute silence, but moving silence. Laozi's water is the best metaphor. The water is moving, and this movement is so self-sufficient but unadorned!
It is inappropriate to impose the so-called idealistic materialism on Tao, because Tao once included idealism and materialism in all phenomena.

Today, I accidentally read the eighth chapter of Laozi's Tao Te Ching, and I was deeply touched. Let's share it with you!
Good for what? It's hard to say, just like water, so there is? As good as water? Said.
Water is a common thing, and it is everywhere. Although water is ordinary, it contains extraordinary wisdom and character, far beyond human reach, which is worthy of reflection and imitation by the world.
Water is the source of life and the foundation of the universe. What people and water do, what the earth and water do, and everything depends on water for growth. Water has such merits, but it doesn't ask for credit. It has such virtue, but it doesn't ask for feedback. Water is beneficial to all things without publicity, beneficial to all beings and humble in virtue, flowing downwards forever and drilling downwards forever.
Water does not argue with everything, does not care about people, you enter, she retreats, you squeeze, she overflows, she is flexible, leisurely, detached and carefree, so there is no criticism and less criticism.
Water, seemingly weak, is actually strong, with a weak surface and a strong heart. Hard and easy to fold, soft and durable. A drop of water can pierce a stone, and a rope can cut a piece of wood.
Low-key, indisputable, adaptable, flexible, great wisdom of water and high quality of water.
What is Tao and what is water.
Attached to the eighth chapter of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching? Eighth sex? :? Good as water. Water is good for all things without dispute, and evil for all, so it is a few words. Living in a good place, kind-hearted, kind-hearted, good at words, good at governance, good at doing things, good at dealing with people. Husband is just indisputable, so there is nothing special.
What is Tao and what is water.

? Forever and ever. The reason why heaven and earth are so long is that they can live forever because they are not born. It puts saints and bodies first; Living outside your body. Not because of its selfless evil? Therefore, it can be private. ? It means that heaven and earth can last forever because they don't live for themselves, they exist naturally, so they can last forever. Therefore, the sage put himself behind, but he was respected. He put himself outside, but he saved himself. Isn't it because saints are not selfish? That's why he is himself.
Inaction is a kind of mentality, a kind of cultivation and dialectical. From the point of view that the old articles originated from the secretary writing network, it is helpful to promote inaction to the society, but from the height of historical development, one-sided inaction is not conducive to human progress, so it should be treated dialectically for contemporary young people to understand the inaction theory that the old articles originated from the secretary writing network. Good people follow it, and bad people change it. ? In dealing with competition, we should dare to meet challenges, treat failure and inequality with a normal heart, and change or adapt with appropriate methods, instead of blindly killing the larger foe. This will help you save yourself and achieve ultimate success. Only accumulation will flourish. The same,? Doing nothing? When it is used to treat people in contemporary times, it is to tolerate others. ? A hundred rivers flow, with great tolerance, and all people stand on the wall, and material desires are just. ?
Tao Te Ching is an enlightening masterpiece of China's simple dialectics in ancient times, which opened the curtain for human beings to explore the laws of nature for thousands of years. It is of great benefit to guide our life to treat it dialectically, take its essence and discard its dross.

Mr. Lu Xun once said: If you don't read the Tao Te Ching, you won't know the true meaning of China culture and life! ? In the introduction of the Tao Te Ching, it is said that the Tao Te Ching has only more than 5,000 words, and later generations are divided into 8 1 chapters. Although there are not many words, it is a wonderful chapter with careful words. It can be described as a wonderful book. Why is it natural? Mysterious and mysterious? , so many people hope? Tao? Sigh. This is not surprising, after all, this book is all-encompassing, covering the dialectical methods of world outlook, outlook on life and values, including the wisdom of governing the country, philosophy of life, cultivation of human nature, military philosophy and health preservation. Laozi's Tao Te Ching contains rich philosophy of life. For thousands of years, from emperors and generals to ordinary people, they have learned the essence of governing the country and the people, cultivating self-cultivation and establishing a life from this book of wisdom in the history of human civilization. Most of the articles use almost poetic language, some of which are obscure, but it? Broad and profound? , is a classic of Chinese studies in China, I will study it anyway. Read, recite, recite, forget, forget, read and recite, but unfortunately, there are always too many traces left.
I have been troubled by my own communication, and I always feel that I am not harmonious with others and colleagues. Occasionally quarrels and gossips between colleagues have also suppressed me for a long time and I can't get rid of it. I even came to the conclusion that I don't like crowds and I'm not good at interacting with people. I am aloof and indifferent, and I do everything alone. One hero and three gangs, I didn't feel such warmth. I often doubt my communication skills. A close friend of mine said:? Absolutely not. Why are you so kind to me? Why do we get along so well? Your's love is sweet and affectionate. How can she say that she will not associate with others? ! This has something to do with your growing experience. ?
It was an unforgettable past: at that time, I was in the first grade of primary school, our teacher was very powerful, and our monitor was also very powerful. He always hits his classmates on the head with a stick. I often get this pimple on my head, and the stick makes it grow new. When my mother combs my hair, I try not to scream every time. I dare not cry to my parents, because it will lead to greater revenge and the monitor will knock harder. But in the end, I couldn't help it. My mother couldn't help screaming when she combed my hair. My mother was frightened and asked me why. Tears have long since come down, and I have to be honest when I see them. My mother cried and went to school to talk to the teacher. The teacher retorted that my mother was unreasonable and threatened to leave me alone in the future. Many children in my class bullied and abused me and wouldn't let me into the classroom. What I fear most every day is going to school. I hate that teacher and my classmates who study well, because they are favored by teachers and I can't. Finally, I had to transfer to another school and enjoy the care that an ordinary and normal student should enjoy. In this way, I was calm for ten years. Before I went to the normal school to report, I was paralyzed because I fanned my mouth with an electric fan. At that time, I never thought about asking for leave, and then I got sick at home and went to school. I thought to myself: I have finally passed the exam, so I must report to school and attend classes on time.
Because of the image problem, I was once again discriminated and ridiculed by several male students in my class. They don't talk to me, they laugh at anyone who talks to me, and they secretly give me nicknames to mock me. In those three years, I couldn't get the warmth of friendship. I was alone and felt sorry for myself! Maybe that's when I started. I don't trust my classmates, I'm afraid of people, and I take friendship very lightly. I shut myself in my own world and amuse myself. Although I can't get help from others, at least I won't hurt myself. After taking part in the work, people are still very passive and will not take the initiative to care about others. I really envy my colleagues who everyone likes and are exquisite in all aspects. I also hope others will be around me. The feeling of being surrounded by love is really beautiful! So keep looking for ways; Constantly open your own wounds and say to yourself: You should be brave, you should be strong, and you should break through yourself! And silently say to yourself:? What makes you miserable now will make you strong in the future! ? If the sky is going to be a great task for Sri Lankan people, they must first put up with their thoughts, exercise their bones and muscles, starve their bodies, empty their bodies and behave badly, so be patient and benefit from what they can't do. ?
When I saw the seventh chapter of Tao Te Ching: forever, forever. Heaven and earth can live forever because they are not born by themselves, so they can live forever. Is it because saints are selfless that they come first and then come, and live outside? Therefore, it can be private. Meaning: Heaven and earth can exist for a long time because they don't run naturally for their own survival, so they can exist for a long time. Therefore, a sage who has the means can stay ahead of others only by being modest and striving for second best; Only by keeping yourself out of it can you save your own survival. Isn't that because he is selfless? Only in this way can he achieve himself. I had an epiphany: only by doing something for others and giving selfless help can we win their support and love, instead of winning their hearts by clever words, means and strategies.
I think Tao Te Ching is the foundation of thought and soul. You can find the answers to all kinds of questions about your outlook on life, values and world outlook for many years from this book. There is nothing more accurate and thorough than it.

Nowadays, with the development of social science and the rapid development of social economy, people's material wealth is getting richer and richer, while their spiritual wealth is getting poorer and poorer, and the phenomenon of moral decay is getting more and more serious. ? Be honest and work hard? The voice is getting louder and louder. In the materialistic real life, how to face the temptation of money, status and beauty? We can also find the answer in the classic Tao Te Ching, that is, we should pay attention to keep quiet, quiet and introspect in our daily life, work and family, and do our duty wholeheartedly!
Since we are small, our strength is weak, and our life is short, why not correct our mentality? Meditation, purity and dedication are three different levels of people's mentality. Meditation: Jing 'an's life coordinates; Clean heart: clean life direction; Dedication: Do your best in life.
Meditation is the coordinate of Jing 'an life. I'm here? Quiet is right for the world? ,? Quiet? The foundation of monasticism. Chapter 16 of the Tao Te Ching says: To the extreme, keep quiet. ? The emphasis is on keeping quiet. ? To virtual? Is it necessary to remove the barriers of the mind and sort out the chaotic mental activities? Keep quiet? , pass? Quiet? Time, depth and insight, right? Know the truth? Every evil turns into good luck.
? Clean, not dirty? Between heaven and earth, is everything clean? Not dyed? . ? Not dyed? The meaning of Tao Te Ching is very extensive. Chapter 12 of Laozi's Tao Te Ching says:? Five colors are blind, five tones are deaf, five flavors are refreshing, and hunting is crazy. Strange goods can harm people. ? . It means that the colorful world is dazzling, the sounds are deafening, the food makes people drool, the mind is crazy, and it is nerve-racking to have precious and rare goods. This paper summarizes the serious consequences caused by people's greed, sound, taste, smell, touch and things from six aspects. Therefore, future generations say: six clean, spotless. It is intended to teach people restraint and restrain people's greed.

I just finished reading the Tao Te Ching and got a lot of inspiration from it. The author Lao Zi is a famous thinker and philosopher in ancient China. This book is Laozi's way of troubled times and philosophy of life, not the moral textbook I thought. Of course, it only needs more than 20 pages, but because of the limited understanding ability, there must be 23 people in 10 who can understand the whole book.
First of all, Lao Tzu summed up the changes of natural phenomena and social phenomena at that time, and everything changed in the opposite direction. Point it out? Extremes must be reversed? The general principles, almost no matter where.
I understand the life world, look at life attitude, advocate gentle obedience to women, and oppose strong enterprising. Laozi's thought is inaction. Now people generally think that his thoughts are negative, but in fact, his thoughts contain more love for the working people. He hopes to influence the ruling class through his own thoughts, so that ordinary people can get more self-restraint and live and work in peace.
I thought? Doing nothing? It contains the guiding ideology of letting nature take its course and is not forced, so it can penetrate into all aspects of life. For example, you can also create your own ideas on educational ideas. As the saying goes? Isn't twisted melon sweet? Learning is a blind and voluntary thing. Only when students take the initiative to learn and regard learning as a happy thing can they succeed in their studies. This requires us educators to guide students to study happily, easily, blindly and voluntarily in educational theory. Governing education by doing nothing is not to ignore it, but to guide it according to the situation and never to encourage it. Not conforming to the laws of nature, abusing all kinds of growth hormones, not respecting children's wishes, and consciously participating in all kinds of Olympic math, learning piano, playing violin and other training are often counterproductive.
Meanwhile, Lao Tzu's? Extremes must be reversed? Our thoughts seem to predict today's society. The so-called culture, technology and modernization pursued by human beings should all serve human beings, but environmental pollution, energy depletion, progress in consumption rate, rising unemployment rate and widening gap between the rich and the poor all seem to be closely related to the so-called high technology. People work to keep their jobs and have no time to care about themselves and their families. When they have time, they have no money; when they have money, they have no time. Or neither. How can such a society be said to be beautiful? After a high degree of prosperity, mankind should return to something, so as not to go to the extreme and go to the other side, to the point of irretrievability.
Laozi was a great thinker in ancient China. Now, his influence in the world far exceeds that of Confucius. Laozi's theory? Mysterious and mysterious? But I didn't find it? The door of miracles? There are too many people who have studied Laozi since ancient times, but I always thought I realized it? Extremes must be reversed? ,? Doing nothing? Such a philosophy of life is more meaningful to individuals. I think many of his ideas are worth pondering.
