Jiangxi has an important position in the history of Taoism. In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling achieved great success in monasticism in Longhu Mountain, and founded the Taoist orthodoxy school. Wanshou Palace in Nanchang Xishan and Chongzhen Palace in Zhangshu Pavilion in jujube hill are the cradles of Taoist Jing Ming School and Lingbao School respectively. Taoism?

In the long river of China traditional culture, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are integrated and complement each other, forming an ethereal and rich picture of China traditional culture. Taoist culture has a long history, extensive and profound, and contains rich humanistic spirit. It had an important influence on Confucian culture and the thoughts of other pre-Qin philosophers. * * Together laid the foundation of China culture and became the source and one of the mainstream traditions of China culture and its philosophy. Today, it is of great significance for us to study these precious cultural heritages and absorb their essence for building a socialist core value system.

? Always with good people? Humanistic care? Tao? It is the core of Laozi's philosophy and the most basic concept of China's philosophy. Its main meaning is the mother of all things in the universe, that is, the source of all things in the universe, which is the driving force for the continuous development and prosperity of all things in the world. The birth of Laozi's theory marked a qualitative leap in China's understanding of the world at that time.

? Tao gives birth to everything? It is an important proposition of Laozi's philosophy, and the theory of universal life unity expressed in it contains rich humanistic feelings. Here, Lao Zi examines the natural ecology with the cosmological view that everything is interrelated, regards nature as an organic whole with isomorphism and mutual feeling, and emphasizes the harmonious relationship between heaven, earth and man, the unity of heaven and man, and the inseparable relationship between man and nature. Laozi emphasized that the endless and vigorous development of everything in the world, including people and human society, is a manifestation of Tao, and the essence of Tao's prolificacy is virtue. Zhuangzi said? Things can be born but invisible. Is this called virtue? . Is "Pipe" based on? Healthy? To explain? De? :? Morality, Taoism, and things can be born? . Lao Tzu thinks:? An animal born without it, without relying on it, grows without killing it, which is called Xuande. ? Isn't it natural for Tao to nurture everything without dominating it, and to possess everything without thinking high? Xuande? .

Humanistic care is the affirmation of human dignity and the living condition in line with human nature, and the pursuit of human liberation and freedom. ? Heaven has no relatives, often with good people? Taoism advocates a kind of love for everything, so that heaven, earth and people can maintain a peaceful state.

Today, we are in the era of science and technology, which has changed the way of life of human beings. However, the pursuit of life and happiness is still the ultimate goal of human activities. The humanistic spirit contained in Taoist culture is to explore the foundation of human existence and the meaning of life with an open mind and an introspective spirit, which can help people better understand and grasp their own destiny to some extent.

? Taoism is natural? Ecological wisdom? Taoism is natural? It is the core content of Taoist ecological morality. The ancient sages and sages deeply understand that human beings, as the sons of nature, must respect the laws of nature and do it? Humane? And then what? Heaven? Live in harmony. The ecological values in Taoist culture respect human nature and human subject value, advocate returning to simplicity and oppose alienation, thus helping people get rid of the bondage of secular education to human nature and restore the natural state of human nature and life.

When expounding the relationship between man and nature, Lao Tzu put forward? Big four? Idea: The road is big, the sky is big, the land is big, and the people are crowded. It indicates that while people know everything and explore the laws of nature, they also begin to explore themselves seriously. Laozi further proposed that people everywhere, the land follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. Here? Law? There are two meanings: one is to take the method, that is, to learn and imitate; The second is to be bound and controlled and submit to each other. Laozi revealed that the law of human understanding of things is from near to far, from shallow to deep, from the outside to the inside, and expounded the law of things at different levels and its compliance. ? Big four? The final return is natural and conforms to the natural trend of the avenue itself. Since the industrial revolution, the scientific and technological development of human society has not only created extremely rich material wealth, but also greatly expanded the illusion of human understanding of their own abilities. Man is the master of the earth? You can do whatever you want. As a result, a series of problems that endanger the survival and development of human beings follow one after another, wantonly destroying nature, encroaching on the living space of many creatures, and causing imbalance in the ecological environment. Modern science tells us that according to the theory of immortality of matter and conservation of energy, from a macro perspective, human beings themselves have no ability to destroy nature, but at best they are only destroying the natural elements of their own existence. Although human beings are the darling of nature, can they make use of science and technology? Infinite? Extend your own strength, but human beings can never change their natural attributes and can never be divorced from nature. In order to survive and develop, human beings must use and develop nature and form an eternal interaction and mutual assistance relationship with nature. If the fishing is exhausted because of greed and stupidity, which will affect the natural environment and ecological balance, the final result can only be that human beings have withdrawn from their original position in the biosphere.

In this sense, Taoism? Taoism is natural? A profound insight into the essence of the relationship between man and nature is the truth that spans time and space in human history.

Put forward by Taoism? Follow the trend? It fully expresses the spirit of respecting objective things, nature and laws contained in the thought of natural inaction of Taoist culture.

In ancient times, there was a flood, and the gun was blocked and failed. By dredging, the famous river in Kyushu was opened and flooded into the sea, and the flood control was won.

Taoism pays attention to the change of things, emphasizing that it should change according to the situation and change with the times. Seasonal changes are natural products, and people can't change them, but should adapt to them. In spring, the yang rises, which is the season of growth, and people begin to plant; Autumn is the season when yin rises and crops bear fruit, so people engage in harvesting. Respecting and protecting nature is the real people-oriented concept. Otherwise, all achievements and wealth will be meaningless.

In his works, he regards the road of life as crossing the river and wading into Sichuan in winter, being cautious, never losing his temper and moving step by step; Whether living in a busy street or at home alone, you should think twice before you act, don't be presumptuous, and always reflect.
