Laozi's concept of self-cultivation
Lao Tzu's views on self-cultivation are as follows:

1, Laozi is one of the founders of the ancient Taoist school in China, and his concept of self-cultivation is mainly reflected in the book Tao Te Ching. He believes that people should follow the laws of nature and maintain inner peace and indifference, so as to achieve a state of physical and mental harmony. Laozi advocates "governing by doing nothing", that is, not to interfere too much with the natural development of things, but to conform to nature and be happy with it.

He thinks that people's desires can't be satisfied, and only by reducing their desires can they achieve inner peace. In addition, Lao Tzu also emphasized the importance of moral cultivation, and believed that a person should have the virtues of compassion, tolerance and humility, so as to achieve harmony between individuals and society.

3. Laozi's concept of self-cultivation emphasizes the relationship between man and nature and between people, and advocates a simple, natural and harmonious lifestyle. These views have had a far-reaching impact on later generations and provided a way for people to pursue peace of mind and inner peace. Laozi is one of the representatives of materialism, and we will also learn a lot of Laozi's thoughts now.
