As we know, the so-called outlook on life is the view on the value and significance of human existence. The outlook on life is determined by the world outlook (cosmology). Different people have different outlook on life. (1) Taoist values of life Taoism believes that "Tao" is the origin of the universe, and "Tao" is "life"? " ,"? "Everything is born. Immortals and people are different "? "Metaplasia. Yin and yang, five elements, essence and spirit constitute the body and life. Human nature is real, not illusory. Living in the present is a kind of enjoyment-life is rare; People think that death is the most terrible and painful thing. Therefore, in theory, Taoism emphasizes that "immortal life is precious and human beings are infinite". Ideologically, it doesn't believe that "life is determined by heaven" and believes that "my life is mine, not heaven and earth". The existence of human life and the length of life depend on self, not fate. Encourage people not to succumb to the destiny, to cultivate themselves according to the Tao, and to strive for immortality and unity with the Tao. To this end, Taoism has put forward a series of Taoist merits and virtues, such as taking food, activating qi, breathing, guiding, keeping one, external alchemy, internal alchemy, fasting, word printing, keeping Geng Shen and so on. Therefore, Taoism regards enjoying life, attaching importance to life and pursuing immortality as its fundamental doctrine. This is also the most fundamental outlook on life of Taoism. This outlook on life reflects that Taoism is born again and despises death, and attaches great importance to the value of life. So Taoism is a religion that attaches great importance to the value of life. (2) Taoist values. What is the status of human beings in the universe and is it valuable? Regarding the viewpoint of man's position in the universe, Lao Tzu emphasized that man's position is outstanding. He said: "The old road is very big, very big, very big and very crowded. There are four in the region, but human settlement is one of them. "Think that man is one of the four people in the universe, above all things. Taoism also shows man's position in the universe through the cosmic life system of god, man and ghost. Taoism believes that the universe consists of heaven, fairyland, earth and hell. God is in the supreme position, above the world. Ghosts can enter the middle position between people and ghosts. Therefore, Taoism advises people to do good, advocating "doing whatever they want, being convenient at all times, and doing all kinds of yin work", and advising people to "do all kinds of good instead of evil." "At the same time, he also advocates that life is long, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, and thinking that the work is full and the gods are expected. Taoism also clearly emphasizes that "among all things, people are the most expensive." "Think that people are the soul of all things, and they can live forever through cultivation. In short, people have a certain position in the universe and life is very valuable. (3) Taoist Views on Personality Value On the issue of personality value, Taoism advocates great harmony, equality and peace from the group. The ideal society of Taoism is a peaceful, uncontested, equal and free society. There is no oppression and exploitation, everyone works, has joys and sorrows, lives and works in peace and contentment, and there is great fairness and peace. It is clearly stated in the early Taoist classic Taiping Jing. The reason why Buddhist scriptures are named "Taiping" is to realize the ideal "Taiping" world. It is of great positive significance for the equality and peace between people advocated by Taoism to be applied to people in society, regardless of their origin and race, and their status is humble. This Taoist outlook on life is undoubtedly great. The ideal interpersonal relationship of Taoism is "marriage with the same love and different bones." Integrative kindness "means that I am as kind to things as I am to others, and" things are compatible with me ". Taoism believes that the universe, heaven and earth, people and everything are transformed by Tao. Therefore, Taoism advocates not killing. "Heterogamy" means that people who are not related by blood are regarded as blood relatives. In order to achieve the "marriage of different bones", Taoism requires people to be intimate, not to kill people, not to be jealous, not to commit adultery, not to steal, not to be greedy, not to hate women, not to say rhetoric, not to say offensive words. In this way, we can be "safe and prosperous" and "happy and peaceful". Therefore, Taoism regards "kindness" as the basic principle in dealing with interpersonal relationships. In a word, regarding the value of an individual in society, Taoism advocates the equality of all beings and kindness. (4) Taoist ideal values. Ideal is the goal of struggle. Ideal value refers to the highest value of the target. Like other religions, Taoism has its own ideal situation and pursuit. The ideal realm advocated and pursued by Taoism is twofold. The first is to build a peaceful, uncontroversial, equal and free society in the secular and real world according to Taoist teachings. This ideal view of society is described in many places in the early Taoist classic Dapingjing. When the post-Taoism practiced this "Taiping" theory, that is, in terms of human behavior, it was manifested in benefiting the world and helping others. Therefore, "benefiting the world and helping others" has become the goal of Taoism in the world. Another ideal pursued by Taoism is "fairyland". There are "no competition, no jealousy", "no matchmaking, no employment", "no farming, no marriage", "no knitting, no clothes" and "no birth and no death". They sing together all day. They are free and happy. Through practice, people can become immortals and live a fairy life in fairyland. Therefore, "enlightenment and immortality" has become the goal pursued by Taoists all over the world. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to cultivate Taoism, double-cultivate life, and calm down and shape. There are many Taoist techniques, such as meditation, abortion, external alchemy, internal alchemy, breathing, persuasion, breaking the valley, fasting and so on. Among them, Inner alchemy is the most ideal cultivation method among Taoist techniques. On the land of China, since the Yellow Emperor began to practice Buddhism from Guangguang (that is, the old gentleman changed it), for thousands of years, potential practitioners who lived under rocks, entered Mao 'an temples, lived in Lushe houses or lived in palaces were invincible. Throughout the ages, people yearn for and pursue health, longevity and longevity. In this sense, no matter what changes have taken place in the form of Taoism, what is its essence? Healthy? Will always accompany mankind and benefit mankind forever. The attitude and basic principles of Taoism towards social life are also important contents of Taoist outlook on life. These are all from the Tao Te Ching written by Taishang Laojun. Below, choose to introduce. (1) Natural inaction 1. Naturally. Laozi put forward the concept of "nature" to explain "Tao" and "virtue". Tao is natural, and people should follow the law of Tao and take "nature" as their attitude and basic principle in dealing with social life. Chapter 25 of Laozi says: "Man practices the earth, while man practices the sky, while heaven practices the Tao, and Tao is natural." In other words, "natural inaction" should be the law in the process of human activities. The so-called "nature" is so natural. The fifty-first chapter of Laozi also said: "Respecting Tao is precious, virtue is precious, and a husband does not work for his life." It is believed that everything in the universe is natural, and people should let nature take its course instead of doing it deliberately. We often hear "let nature take its course" or "let nature take its course", and "let nature take its course" comes from Laozi's thought. Taoism follows Laozi's teaching of letting nature take its course and regards it as the criterion of life. 2. inaction. Chapter 37 of Tao Te Ching says, "Tao always does nothing." It is believed that "Tao" is the ontology that produces all things in the universe, and it is naturally produced in the process of production, without any external force, so "Tao" is "inaction"; But judging from the result of its creation, everything is born of Tao, so it can be said to be "everything in vain". Sage is the ideal personality form described by Laozi, and one of its personality elements is sage inaction. (in addition, there are saints who do not dispute, saints are kind to others, and saints value quietness and abandon rashness. Tao Te Ching has repeatedly expounded the most basic characteristics of this sage's personality: "A sage does nothing, teaches without words, does everything, achieves success in life, perseveres, and lives in it after success." Sage said, "I don't do anything. People are albinos." I am quiet, and people are quiet. I have nothing and the people are rich. I have no desire, and I am simple. "A saint is a person who doesn't depend on others, but he doesn't succeed and doesn't want to see a saint." All these words show that the characteristics of "Tao is natural" and "Tao is often inaction" are clearly reflected in the personality of saints. It is worth pointing out that the sage's "inaction" is only a means, and its purpose is "promising". The unity of the two is manifested as "doing nothing without doing anything". If the sage only has "inaction", it will lose its meaning. In short, "inaction" requires individuals to take "Tao" as the law, conform to nature and not act rashly. (2) The weakness is indisputable 1. "Weakness" is the attitude of life advocated by Laozi. In Tao Te Ching, a careful person once made statistics: except for the word "weak" used in three chapters and five places, the word "soft" appeared six times in six chapters and five times in five chapters. Therefore, there is a saying that "Lao Dan is noble and soft"; Hanshu Yiwenzhi? "Zhuzi slightly" also believes that Lao Tzu's outlook on life is "self-control by emptying, self-control by inferiority". "I believe that in nature, new things are always weak, and weak new things are full of vitality, so" weak "is the natural law of" life ". Laozi taught people to be soft and weak, and to keep a state of emptiness and quietness. Some people think this is a sign of cowardice, but it is not. Because, Lao Tzu advocates to support the weak with softness, not to support the soft with softness, but to control the strong with weakness. Taking water as an example, The Old Gentleman on the Supreme Court proves the truth that "weakness is better than strength", saying that "nothing in the world is weaker than water, and strength is invincible" (Chapter 78). When people understand this, they will not do stupid things like "the egg hits the stone", but will "retreat after knowing the difficulties and retreat with a soft heart". "Taoism advocates' weakness'. In the Twenty-Seven Commandments of the Old Man, the first three lines are "inaction, cowardice, and guarding women before moving"; Among the five commandments and ten good deeds of Taoism, forbearance is one of the ten good deeds. " The old gentleman worships all kinds of medicines and takes "weakness" as one medicine. On the contrary, Taoism takes "strong body" as a precept. "Hu Yi's Twelve Commandments" said, "Don't be strong in precepts, but bow down. The strong must be destroyed first, and the strong must be bent first. According to Lao Jun's Theory of All Diseases, "winning by strength" and "winning by words" are both diseases. In short, "weakness" is a Taoist attitude towards life and a valuable outlook on life. 2. "indisputable", like "inaction", is also an element of the sage personality shaped by Laozi. Laozi mentioned "indisputable" many times. Chapter 7 says: "The sage comes first after the body and exists outside the body. "Chapter 20 says:" The sage holds one as the world wind, and he doesn't know what it is, and he doesn't show himself, make meritorious deeds or be proud of himself. " Chapter 66 says: "The sage is above the people, but the people are not important, and the people do not harm the former. "Chapter 72 says," A saint knows himself, but self-love is not expensive. "It is precisely because saints have such indisputable virtues that they can achieve the effect of' the world cannot compete with them'. Sages do not strive for material comforts, so Lao Tzu said, "Sages spare no effort to be extravagant and peaceful", "Sages do what they want, wood is precious" and "Sages don't accumulate". It is worth pointing out that the "indisputable" emphasized by Taoism is not helpless and inaction, but not competing with the world for worldly fame, wealth and glory. For things that conform to the natural operation law of heaven, we should try our best to show the meaning of heaven. For example, Taoism believes that through cultivation, not only the spirit can be sublimated, but also the life of the body can be prolonged, so breaking the law, reforming the law, overcoming difficulties, and fighting against the ruthless fate. Therefore, the slogan "Life is up to me, not heaven and earth" was put forward. This is the "struggle" of Taoism, and it is also the biggest "struggle" of Taoism. In addition, it is to "strive" for merit. In a word, Laozi's teaching of "no dispute" requires people to behave naturally and not insist. " "indisputable" is a Taoist attitude towards life and a lofty outlook on life. In addition, there are open-minded, selfless, laissez-faire and so on, so it is difficult to elaborate here. Taoism's outlook on life covers a wide range and is profound. Only the main contents are introduced here. Through the Taoist outlook on life, we can see that Taoism is a religion that loves life, life, peace and all beings.
