The original text is:

Tao can be Tao, but it is not constant. A name can be named, but it is not a constant name.

Nameless, the beginning of everything; Fame is the mother of everything.

Therefore, there is no desire to watch; There is always a desire to see what it is. They are the same, but different names are the same. Mysterious and mysterious, many people's doors.

Universe Avenue is a way that can be recognized, expressed and followed, but it is not constant. These theories can also be clearly described, but they are not eternal concepts.

Extended data:

Laozi's simple materialistic thought;

The existence of matter is the "Tao" before conscious production is the "name", which is the materialistic view put forward by Lao Tzu two thousand years ago. And Marxism: "Material comes first, consciousness comes second." The materialistic view of this book coincides with mine.

Both name and Tao come from the same thing, one is objective existence; One is the understanding of existence. Cognition develops in the process of negation, and the true colors of things will be revealed in constant negation, affirmation, negation and affirmation.

Similar to today's philosophical thinking, the process from perceptual knowledge to rational knowledge is the process of negation of negation. This is the profound connotation of "the mysterious is the mysterious, the gate of Wan Qi".

"I often have no desire to see its miracle; There is always a desire to watch. Usually, when people don't know anything about something, they often passively observe the superficial phenomena of things, and gradually understand some deep mysteries from the superficial phenomena. Humans should describe these mysteries observed. This is the "name".

Usually, once the exploration of things develops to the stage of "names", human beings will organize these fragmented "names" and systematically summarize them to develop to the stage of "scientific knowledge".

When human beings arm their minds with scientific knowledge, they will have a stronger desire to explore deeper nature, and it is this desire that promotes the further development of scientific knowledge.
