I don't blame you for not reading the Tao Te Ching, but as a China person, it is your fault to come out and talk nonsense about the Tao Te Ching.

I dare not say that I have any research on Tao Te Ching. In fact, the research in the world now is not necessarily correct.

Tao Te Ching has always been disliked by rulers. Confucianism is actually a good school, but it was Dong Zhongshu who modified Confucius' Confucianism. If you have studied Confucius' Confucianism a little, you will find that it is actually very suitable for governing the country and cultivating one's morality.

Tao Te Ching explains inaction throughout. Inaction is not inaction, but non-interference. The so-called heartless heaven and earth, taking everything as straw dogs. My understanding is that one should follow the spirit of heaven and earth and develop such a broad mind. The quotation here is not based on the joy of things, nor on one's own sadness.

As for governing the country, it's a pity that this is not something we can worry about. The world is under everyone's control. The topic you mentioned is too big, and you can't finish writing thousands of words. The score is only 5, which is really too little.
