(1) Taoism regards "attaching importance to life" as one of its basic teachings. Taoism emphasizes the word "life" and repeatedly talks about the ways of survival, good life, happy life, rebirth, noble life, health preservation and longevity. It can be said that the word "life" cannot be separated from Taoism, which is the center of Taoism. Reviewing the meaning of Taoism around "life" is very similar to what Yang Zhu said in "The Scope of Your Life". Almost when I read the Taoist scriptures about "fate", I always think of Yang Zhu's words. For example, the earliest Taoist classics "Taiping Jing" and "Old Xiangzi Jules" both emphasize rebirth and attach importance to life: "The best person can stay late if he always wants to be happy and thirsty." ("Taiping Economic Cooperatives" Volume 40) "Madam, the deceased is like this, turned to dust and never seen again. This life is born between heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are self-opening. Everyone has a life and cannot be regenerated. Has its own name. Man, the length and dignity of all things, is similar to heaven and earth; If you die today, you will be poor, you will never see yourself alone again, and you will never set out again. " (Taiping Economic Cooperative Studies, Volume 90) "Public health is fatal", "There are four big roads, big roads, big roads, and big areas, and it ranks first", "I know a lot of glitz, but I don't know how to protect my whole body and live a long life; Is it one? Not as good as students. " (Old Xiangzi Jules) In the Jin Dynasty, at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a wonderful Classic of Infinite Man, which clearly stated that "immortal Taoism values life and infinite man" is the primary doctrine of Taoism. This classic is regarded as the first classic in the collection of orthodox Taoism in the Ming Dynasty, and its status is higher than that of Tao Te Ching. The classics published after the Northern and Southern Dynasties closely linked life and Tao, and "self-cultivation" and "health preservation" depended on each other, becoming two in one, one thing and two uses. For example, "Tao is invisible because it is born to be clear." Life can't be constant, keep it with Tao. Life and death are the waste of Tao, the waste of Tao is the waste of Tao, and life and death are eternal life. " ("Taishang Laojun Neiguan Jing") "Everything contains qi, and life is precious. Life is a great virtue of heaven and earth, and virtue is nothing more than immortality. " ("Taiping Yulan Daobu Health Care Thai Muslim Sutra" "Taoist people make a living without seeking fame". ("Miao Zhenjing") "Life is expensive, life is expensive, and Tao is also." ("Preface to Sitting and Forgetting") "The origin of the life of a sex person is the root of the life of a life person, and it is encouraged to cultivate it." ("Ji Lu Xian") "The so-called Tao is that people are born, so they die of health preservation. Monks are the principle of living here, let them live and let them live longer. " Taoism's theory of "attaching importance to life" obviously draws lessons from Yang Zhu's thought. (2) "Complete loyalty" is the basic principle of Taoist Puritans. Taoism pays attention to health preservation and seeks longevity. When it comes to self-cultivation, it is inseparable from "all truth", that is, cultivating "life". Taoism believes that human's "sex" has the nature of natural temperament, and "fate" embodies the life of qi and the life of separation. The "whole" refers to the "sexual" belly, which refers to the innocence, kindness and simplicity of human nature. Life Gui Zhi said, "What is nature? At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, it was true and spiritual. " A person can only make a living by cultivating sex, and a person can only make a living after cultivating sex. Nature depends on the heart, and sex is enslaved by the heart, so "all" is the pure and kind heart that preserves talent. The basic way to cultivate is to preserve the innate goodness and authenticity. Only complete loyalty can lead to longevity. There are many sayings about this in Taoist classics, such as: "Who cares about things and me?" Always keep the Tao, for goodness and loyalty. Stupid service to the world is painful. "("Tai Shang Lao Jun Neiguan Jing ")" The way to cure life is to be cautious about its nature. Because it is restrained and quoted, it will gradually increase with appropriate gains and losses, and each has its own place. " "The husband who cultivates nature wants to make habits become habits. His nature is good ... Because of his good nature, he knows nothing about all diseases in the outside world and is indifferent to disasters. This is also a big lesson in cultivating his nature. " (Huangdi Neijing) Tao is immortal, so it is called sea and air. There is no cause and effect in air and sea. No cause, no fruit, so break your troubles. "("Qi Zheng Yun "Volume 93" On Tao ")
"The heart is the instrument of the Tao, and when it is extremely quiet, the Tao lives in wisdom, and wisdom comes from sex, which is not suitable for today." "Husband and Tao are two different things, but they are both spiritual, empty and have no image." (On Sitting Forgetting) "The so-called happiness comes from the heart and the mind is empty. Why practice? Knowing everything is empty, it is the name of joy. " "The husband has six roads and four industries, and he knows God and goodness at the beginning. The only thing that is not mixed is the same as Tao." ("Yun Qi Four-line Fairy Tales Notes" article 95) "The foundation of longevity is goodness. Life is different in the world. ..... Open people hide their sexuality in order to prolong their life, while dark people indulge their desires in order to hurt themselves. The origin of sexual life, the root of life, and self-cultivation. Therefore, business is to cultivate its nature, keep God and be good at its life. " Quanzhen religion, especially Taoism with the aim of "Quanzhen". Although life has both self-cultivation and self-cultivation, it is mainly self-cultivation The name of "Quanzhen" actually comes from "Quanzhen School" founded by Wang Zhongyang in Jin Dynasty. Article 2 of "On the Fifteenth Theory of Education" requires "survival", Article 10 requires "keeping reason in tolerance to refine nature" and Article 11 requires "cultivation". The explanation of "sex" in "20 strokes of Chongyang real people giving Danyang" is "sex is the yuan god" and "root is sex" and so on. And said: "The yogi is the true way; Monkey, this is life. This is called practice. " "The truth is not disorderly, and the fate is not linked. If you don't go or not, this is immortality "(see" Chongyang Real Golden Gate Jade Lock Tactics "). The so-called practice, in the final analysis, is the fidelity of the whole nature, so that the truth can be learned without chaos. There are many words about "fate" in the Confucian classics of Quanzhen school, such as: "On essence: reason is like tuning the strings, if it is tight, it will break, if it is slow, it should not, and if it is tight and slow, it can play the piano." Another example is casting swords. Too much steel will break. If there is too much tin, it will roll. If steel and tin are in the middle, the sword will be fine. Those who fix the truth embody these two methods and talk about transcending the three realms "("Chongyang Zushi on Meditation "). "Sex rules love to forget, empty is lucky, dead heart is myth, Yang is flourishing and Yin is failing. ""If the heart is not chi, it will be natural, the shape will not be tired, it will be complete, and God will not disturb it. Then, if you put your feelings outside the void, you can say that it is wonderful to stay at home ("Danyang Dingzhen Quotations"). " My Tao is based on openness, visibility, life support, humility, humility and obedience. Over time, the sky shines, the true qi melts, the form and spirit are wonderful, and it is really the Tao "("Hao Datong's Poetry at that time "). Only when people manage poverty, do their best, and make poverty life and life-saving, can they be integrated with Tao. If you are as strong as heaven and earth, it will last for a long time "(Biography of Zhong You and Avenue Collection). "His practice is to know each other, get rid of feelings and desires, endure humiliation and suffer for others" (Hao Zongshi's Taoist Monument). "Form depends on God, and form is not bad; God depends on nature, and God is immortal; Intelligence and sex, sex and life. Is the so-called vanity ontology, endless, heaven and earth are bad, this is not bad, but it can recreate life, recreate Gankun also "("Life Gui Zhi Life Theory "). In theory, Quanzhen Daoism is actually to expound Yang Zhu's "Quanzhen" thought. Although Quanzhen Taoism says "benefiting others", it still "values itself". It is not unreasonable to say that the whole truth theory is the reappearance of Yang Zhu Thought.
(3), foreign objects hurt people, don't be disgusted with things. In Yang Zhu's thought, saving me is the most important thing. Things can be preserved, so don't get rid of things, but enjoy them. However, although we can't get rid of things, we can't own things or accumulate things. "Being" will be tired of "shape", and foreign objects will hurt the body. Taoism also advocates "emptying your heart" and "filling your stomach" is enough. Don't have too much desire to accumulate wealth, which is harmful to life. Taoism and Yang Zhu thought are essentially the same. This idea that foreign things hurt people, so they advocate getting something for nothing is reflected in Taoist books. For example, "A scholar's legacy can be discussed. There is no evil in life, and things are rare. After a long time, it is easy to change one's mind, and it is impossible to take Tao as one's life (Taiping Yulan, Volume 668, Health Care of Daobu Huang Lao Jing). "The eternal life, will be outside, not to harm things; It is not only harmless, but also helps people forget their bodies; You are also a good student if you forget your body "(Ty Jing Qing). "God is a man, and God is a corpse, which is covered by lust and chaos. You can't forget the suitability of color and taste. Those who practice their Tao are comfortable but not tired, and always live in harmony "(Ji). "Eight tones and five colors are not indulgent, so they are also guided. All these things are meant to support people, and people can't worry about them. They think they are suffering from them, so the sages hold them "(ibid.). Taoism attaches importance to "harmony" and advocates "nine observances", namely, harmony, spirit, qi, benevolence, simplicity, purity, surplus and weakness. The main principle of doctrine is not to be tired and hurt by foreign objects. "The old man said: to light up the world means that God is not tired, everything is fine but his heart is not chaotic. If you live and die together, you will not be afraid, but if you change, you will be bright and not dazzled. ..... Doing nothing means not being tired, and those who are not tired take the world as the quantity. " (Cloud Seven Signs, Volume 91, Nine Shouts and Four Shouts).
"The old man said," Respect the situation and benefit Italy, and people are greedy. Therefore, saints eat enough to make up for the sky, wear enough clothes to keep out the cold, and are not greedy. ..... Know the sum of health, you can't stick to profit; Those who walk through the house from the outside to the inside should not be tempted by this situation. From the outside, it is expensive from the inside. "("Keeping Jane Five ") The old gentleman said: Those who learn the ancient road should manage their feelings, manage their hearts, repair their harmony, be comfortable and forget their meanness, be humble and forget their poverty, have desires without being informal, have fun without doing it, and those who are not conducive to feelings are not tired, and those who are inconvenient are not slippery and throw themselves at each other. The system can be used as a tool in the world. Eat according to your stomach, dress according to your figure, and swim according to the situation. The world is rich, and everything is beneficial. Is it because the rich and the poor lost their lives? If there is, it can be said that it can be practiced "("Shouyi VI "). The Taoist masterpiece "On Sitting and Forgetting" also elaborated this theory, saying: "A wife's life must be based on things, and things are everything, and she can't just entrust one person. A branch of the bird's nest forest, where birds look left and right in the bushes; Drinking a whole river won't hurt Yu Hongbo. Seeking things from the outside, knowing from the inside, knowing that there are points in life, no points in doing nothing, improper governor, improper doing nothing, hurting wisdom, and excessive doing things will destroy both form and spirit. What is the feeling and way when you are upset? ..... You must go to what you don't need in life, and you must give up what you need in life. Wealth hurts people, and accumulated disadvantages hurt people. Although I am still very tired, what is the situation? "There are many fasts in Taoism, and its thought also stems from' not accumulating things', which believes that greed is harmful to life.
(4) My life, my life is influenced by my Taoist thought. I think that foreign things hurt people's lives. If people pursue fame and fortune excessively and go against nature, they will be led by foreign things and dominate their own destiny. If you can get rid of things, have nothing, have a proper demand for foreign things, conform to nature, be disobedient, not greedy, not envious of fame and fortune, not strong, not wanting anything, not harming others, and be fearless, you can control your own destiny. This is the so-called "control of life". The Taoist school of self-cultivation advocates that "my life belongs to me, not to heaven and earth", cultivate self-cultivation and achieve immortality. For example, the western ascension classic says, "Lao Tzu said that my life is in me, not in heaven and earth." I don't care. I don't know. God was born long. I rule in harmony with heaven and earth, and I am self-sufficient Ineffective people do good, don't be righteous, don't be loyal, don't be respectful, don't have sex, everything is beneficial, and they are often indifferent and return home. " "Taiyi Dijun Jing": "If you seek the Tao and make your heart right, then heaven and earth can't violate it. I don't care about being tired, I avoid honor and benefit, and I am willing to be bitter and keep thinking. When Le Jing is in the secluded wall, people who learn Tao can only persuade him with words. " "True Letters Patent": "The virtue of self-cultivation is true. A gentleman is a man, morality is his duty, purity is a teacher, Taihe is a friend, mystery is silent, poverty is extreme, Tao is at the root, seeking the unknown, good people reward themselves, and evil people punish themselves, so they are invincible. " "The Secret Law": "The husband's Tao and God are self-absorbed, carefree, accumulated, and out of life and death. Therefore, it is true that a gentleman is greedy, clever, colorless, silent, indifferent, pure, clear-minded and insatiable. The so-called belonging to my Sect, fellow, and fellow are immobile, ghosts and gods are unknown, and people? " ("Cloud Seven Signs" Volume 45). The theory of vitality: "The immortal said,' My life is in me'. Keep the essence, bear the burden of humiliation, and you will live a long life. There is another cloud:' no Raul shape, no Shaker essence'. I will keep silent. Can live forever. This is the root of life. " "Wu Zhen Zhang": "If a grain of golden elixir is swallowed, I can't help know life".
It is true that Taoism absorbed Yang Zhu Thought, but because Confucianism denounced Yang Zhu, Mencius called Yang Zhu an "animal". Therefore, after thousands of years, Yang Zhu's reputation in the society is very bad. In fact, it is only the extreme opinion of Confucianism; But this makes Taoism's propaganda of Yang Zhusu less direct to avoid attacks. In fact, Yang Zhu Thought has been absorbed by Taoism into its teachings.
