What does the fiftieth chapter of Tao Te Ching mean? "If you hide the taste of goodness, you will not meet a tiger.".
In fact, Lao Tzu has put forward a probability problem in the first half of chapter 50. Three out of ten students were born; Three out of ten people died; Three out of ten people are born to die. "\ r \ can be literally interpreted as:" People who are good at keeping in good health will not be attacked by wild animals when they walk, nor will they wear armor when they enter the battlefield. Rhino can't use horns, tiger can't use claws, and enemy soldiers can't cut him. Why is this? Because he was not executed. \ r \ nBut obviously, what I want to express is not just literal meaning, but deeper meaning. Here, we have to go back to earlier chapters to fully understand, such as "Who is name and body? "Which is more bodies and goods? What kind of disease is acquisition or death? Love will pay a lot; Hide too much and die a thick death. Therefore, knowing enough is not humiliating, knowing that it is not dangerous can last for a long time. " In chapter 3 1, "The ominous weapon of a soldier is not the weapon of a gentleman. Use it as a last resort, it is better to be calm. " Chapter 8 "Good as water" and so on, these chapters and sentences are telling and reminding us that we should always pay attention when walking in the world. \ r \ You won't meet a tiger when you walk. What are the chances of meeting a beast while walking? How can wild animals run into the road and attack people for no reason? Personally, I think what I am talking about here should be those who know not to go astray and how to follow the Tao to solve problems. These people can save the day even if they encounter difficulties and dangers. \ r \ Without armor and spears, who can really go to war without being a soldier? It's not that there is a indestructible body. Obviously, I don't want to make such a mysterious suggestion, but I am telling the world that we should be kind. If we can reduce wars, how many people and soldiers can enjoy life! Even if war is really unavoidable, we should not kill too much. In cause and effect, people who do good deeds are always revered. There are many examples in history that people are kind to others because of benevolence, thus avoiding the disaster of being killed. \ r \ Without death, a person has no intention of provoking danger and making dangerous killing behavior, and of course it is not easy to get involved in right and wrong, so it is natural and peaceful ~
