[Positive solution of this paper]

The avenue is empty and full, although there is nothing, so we can know its mystery: everything is always quiet and unintentional, selfless, so it lasts forever, and there is no lack of perfection without fighting with things; Not seeking fame is always invisible, so its great contribution will never be lost; Because the way to make a living is to let everything develop freely and not be rejected by everything.

Avenue is everything, generation and animal husbandry. It will not be possessed when it is generated, independent when it is raised, and will not be dominated when it grows up. It is not that there is virtue in the avenue, but the existence of chaos and nothing. Its virtue is the goodness achieved unintentionally without virtue, so it is called "Xuande".

Therefore, the beauty of the avenue stems from its absence; Saints should follow the example of the avenue, that is, they should be unintentional and inaction. Otherwise, if we try our best to make the body and mind one, can we be inseparable? Can focusing on breathing softly be as energetic as a baby? Deliberately not to think, can you be free from distractions? I love the people and govern the country with all my heart. Can't I do anything? The world of flowers and flowers is vivid and changeable, and the opening and closing of the five senses constantly stimulates desire. Can you leave a soft spot for women? There's nothing to contend with. With a bright mind and rich knowledge, how can we achieve wisdom without knowledge?

Only by blocking desire and giving up persistence can we look at all nature naturally, even if the heart is soaring but not out of shape, even if the gas is moving but not full, even if the mind is focused on the past and the future, the heart is flawless. Inadvertently, you can be autonomous in the world, stay in fame and fortune, be detached from things, keep empty and abandon knowledge, and reach all things. This is the internal pursuit of Tao, but it is contrary to Tao; Only by abandoning the burden of pursuing Tao can we be in harmony with Avenue.

Tao is nothing, morality is immoral, and saints do not want to be saints. It is precisely because there is no wisdom that it is the highest wisdom.

1。 The word "nothing" in the popular book "Tianmen has no women to open and close" is the word "for". Later, there was a solution to this, "Know your male and keep your female." Silk book is also "Tianmen can be opened and closed as a woman", which can be used as a reference.

2。 A saint is an ideal image in Lao Tzu's mind that the awakened one is integrated with the world leaders. Invisible Avenue takes all things (including people) as "promoting morality", and the character achieved by people imitating the avenue is called "moral".

The concepts of "Tao" and "Morality" have been widely publicized in the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Laozi era, but each school has its own explanation. Laozi believes that all the laws of the universe are the eternal attributes of the whole universe promoted by inanimate objects (called "avenues"), and everything contains avenues, and everything freely survives and develops under the invisible adjustment of avenues. The contents of hundred schools of thought's various meanings of "virtue" are all the meanings of "Tao", and the meanings of "Tao" are the understanding and appellation of "Tao" from different sides. The same is true in practice: the starting point of virtue in various senses is to respect and safeguard the free development of individuals, so as to achieve harmony between people; The connotation of "Tao" has many meanings, without exception, it is an irresistible domination or regulation of the universe; And "virtue" is the spiritual embodiment of "Tao".

Therefore, Laozi's Tao and morality are unified into human philosophy and the concept of the universe from the perspective of the whole universe, which has unique and supreme significance. Therefore, the avenue is related to the harmony, stability and long-term stability at all levels: from the individual's physical spirit, to being a man, to governing the country, to people and things, and to people and nature, it is irresistible.

From the perspective of saints, this chapter expounds the requirements of the realm of Tao from six angles: the unity of spirit and flesh, the peace and fullness of spirit, the purity of mind, the inaction of governing the country, the detachment of material desires and the survival of the world. The way to achieve this state is to extend the concept of inaction to all levels involved in individuals: body, spirit, foreign objects, others in society, country, universe, and even self-awareness. Let everything freely obey the natural attributes and nature given to everything by the road.

Eleventh positive solution of Tao Te Ching in ancient and modern times

[Positive solution of this paper]

By observing specific things, we can know the track diameter of the avenue. Heaven, earth, things and people are all born out of Tao and integrated with Tao, so they all contain the essence of Tao. The stipulation of Tao accords with the nature of all things, so nothing can be separated from the constraint of Tao. Everything is born like this and never feels constrained. Everything develops freely, harmoniously and peacefully. Therefore, obscure avenues are always difficult to observe clearly.

Changing motion, or static composition, is the complementary transformation of yin and yang. Of all the opposites, existence and non-existence are the most important and basic, because this is the beginning of the emergence and existence of all things and the essence of the mystery of the avenue.

Chaos is the unity of existence and nothingness, and concrete things are the manifestation of existence and nothingness. All concrete things exist in limited forms, so they are also in nothingness except limited forms. Entity is limited, but because of its finiteness, it shows its own characteristics with other objects; The use of finite entities comes from the cavity shape formed by entities; The real existence of the avenue lies in its lack of character.

So pots and pans are physically different, but they can all be used for cooking; Knife and gun are essentially different, but they are both weapons; A cave is different from a house, but both can live in it. This is because different entities have the same void. The pot cracked, the knife broke, and the house leaked. In essence, it did not decrease, but changed with the surrounding void, and the use did not exist.

So we know that the entity is like a flower, and the void is where the fruit lies; Positive things are rough appearances, and negative ones are the core of essence. Therefore, saints value function over substance, take fruits over flowers, and go deep into essence over surface. Therefore, saints advocate doing nothing outside and paying attention to inner simplicity and tranquility.

The reason why the avenue has made itself is that it is completely invisible.

Twelfth positive solution of ancient and modern Tao Te Ching

[Positive solution of this paper]

Too many things outside the body are harmful, but it is enough to throw away the extra things.

Scarce materials, but in line with the purpose; The delicious taste is nothing more than a full stomach; Gorgeous clothes are just a cover for the body. Enough to live is enough. Too much greed will harm your physical and mental health and even bring disaster.

So colorful is not as dull as plain, the sound of silk and bamboo is not as quiet as quiet, and hunting and killing will damage inner peace, which is the burden of greed on life.

Therefore, saints only seek the reality of function, not vanity outside function; But to meet the needs of life, not to covet redundancy. Take things outside the body as rough, and be good at keeping the Tao as fine. For the sake of stomach, go to another place to get this, that is, don't abandon your inner reality and get an empty shell!

[Modification and difference]

In the sentence "for the stomach, not for the eyes", it is a figurative expression, "abdomen" means "internal reality" and "eyes" means "virtual exterior". Can't make a superficial understanding.

The 13th Correct Answer of Tao Te Ching in Ancient and Modern Times

[Positive solution of this paper]

Self-seeking is worrying, and external seeking is blessing.

Everything lives on the avenue, but it is comfortable and quiet. Glory and grace come from above, out of peace, shame and loss come from below, out of peace. Therefore, the gains and losses of humiliation are shocking. Therefore, those who have a way do not seek excesses outside the body and do not incur shame; If you don't cling to yourself, there will be no worries about gains and losses. This is called no gain or loss in the heart and no good or bad in the body. On the contrary, this is the biggest harvest and the biggest blessing.

Regard honor and disgrace as things outside the body, be selfless, and be fair; Treat the whole world as yourself, care about all people and do everything for the world. Otherwise, it will only harm the public and the private interests. How can such a person entrust the world to him!

[Modification and difference]

In fact, "there is danger, there is danger."

It means: the biggest worry is to pay attention to your own gains and losses, so you must pay attention to this!

In this regard, there are similar expressions that can be understood: "If you are not born, you will live forever", "If you are outside, you can live", "If you are patient, you will be king" ... Tao is a dragon.

"If you are insulted, you will be surprised" and "If you are in great trouble" are probably put forward by Laozi's general judgment, or they are not put properly, so it is inevitable to be more concise.

Fourteenth positive solution of ancient and modern Tao Te Ching

[Positive solution of this paper]

Avenue has no feeling, and always takes no word as its own way of existence.

No images, no sounds, no plastids. This is called tangible and intangible, with images and nothing. This is the existence of chaos.

Everything was born on the road. It is precisely because of the nothingness of Tao that everything follows the avenue without feeling constrained. Therefore, everything is born on the avenue and never hates the avenue, and always lives in a comfortable way. It's natural. Because there is nothing, the Tao will not change, it will not think and act, and it is everywhere. Only Tao can lead to the greatest success.

So the ancient and modern world is unified under one avenue. At the beginning of the past, no one was ruled by the king, and everything was comfortable on the avenue, making the world peaceful; Now the princes rule the world together, and the world deviates from the main road, so it is chaotic. The avenue can't be broken free, and all temporary deviations are eventually forced to return to the avenue or die. Therefore, chaos and governance, right and wrong, and circular disturbance will make people's survival restless.

Only by returning to the road since ancient times, treating the present existence, assisting everything to live naturally, and not disturbing it, can the world be calm for a long time.

The 15th Correct Answer of Tao Te Ching in Ancient and Modern Times

[Positive solution of this paper]

Avenue is mysterious because of nothingness, and people with a way are perfect because of low-key

People who are good at Taoism are subtle and profound, ordinary and profound: be cautious, such as crossing the river on thin ice in the cold winter, and be afraid on all sides when entering a foreign land, that is, be humble and unyielding; Behaviour, as strict as a guest, melts quietly like ice, which is his inner peace and detachment; The mind is as thick as uncut wood and as wide as a vast valley, which is his selfless desire for morality; Mind, chaos is like muddy water, confusion is like stupidity, that is, harmony and ruthlessness.

Who can make turbidity permanent? Calm down, it will clear up slowly. Who can make silence permanent? It will grow longer when you move. Everything in the world will never stop growing and moving. Transformation, transformation, all limited physical things in this endless germinal movement, no one can last forever. Everyone pursues enrichment, which is always the shortest and always the turning point towards loss. Therefore, people who keep the avenue don't want to eat enough, so they won't lose money; Do not seek innovation, so it will not cover up the old. Only when you have to feel at ease, stay away from those excessive and redundant, and be good at observing the sky, so that you will not live in vain.

However, people nowadays abandon safety at the moment of danger and long-term choice. Why? So it's better to keep the road.

[Modification and difference]

1。 Silk books are "profound and unfathomable". This paper temporarily relies on the popular reading "Implication and Profound, Deep and Difficult to Understand".

"Tong" and "Da" in traditional Chinese characters are similar and easy to make mistakes, while "Tong" is more suitable for the artistic conception of "Dong Xiao Avenue" and "profound and unknown".

2。 The popular book "Ancient Goodness as a Scholar" is now defined as "Ancient Goodness as Tao".

The basis is that, first of all, the main idea of the text is to highlight the realm of Tao, second, the silk book is "ancient goodness is Tao", third, the following text inherits "ancient goodness is Tao", and the following text also says that "ancient goodness is Tao, and it is foolish to be ignorant".

In addition, there are several ways to write "Dao" and "Shi" in bronze inscriptions, which are very similar, so they may be wrong.

3。 "Huan, if frozen, release" in Chuanshu is now defined as "Huan, if released".

The reason is that the meaning of the word "Jiang" is abrupt and does not conform to the cultural meaning of paying attention to state expression; Secondly, when the ancients wrote vertically, they probably made a mistake about He Ling, but used the ancient word "Ling". This paper is based on the silk book Huan Ruowei.

4。 There is a saying in silk that "a man is not talented, so he can be hidden and become new", and the word "er" in it is either missing the word "no" or incorrect.

The following article takes care of this point: "there is more than enough depression, and the new one is insufficient", which means "keeping the depression from being profitable and keeping the cover from being new". So in this article, it should be "covered but not new."

The Sixteenth Correct Answer of Tao Te Ching in Ancient and Modern Times

Never abandon false desires and keep quiet. Knowing the road will make peace for a long time.

Avenue exists in the world, always invisible, silent and inaction, and creates everything in a way that allows it to survive and develop freely. Lush plants depend on roots that go deep underground. Even if the branches and leaves are damaged, the roots will not die. Not divorced from the root cause is called silence; Living quietly is life-saving; Keeping life immortal is called perseverance. This is the essence of life.

Knowing what constancy is, you will know what is important, you will not lose your roots, and you will pay attention to seeking the long term. This is the real understanding.

If you don't know what constancy is, you will act rashly, think and act according to yourself rather than the overall situation, look at the moment rather than the long-term, be restless and divorced from the root, so it is dangerous.

So if you know constancy, you can be self-sufficient, independent of external things, open-minded, and then inclusive of all selflessness. Only by embracing all selflessness can we govern the world. Such people will rule the world and do nothing. Nothing is in harmony with heaven, that is, everything is subject to the gestation of the avenue, and the Tao is eternal.

Only the saints who guard the avenue can make the world quiet forever and their deeds will last forever.

The 17th Correct Answer of Tao Te Ching in Ancient and Modern Times

[Positive solution of this paper]

The best ruler rules the world by Tao, and the people know his existence. The second ruler ruled the world with kindness, and everyone approached him and praised him. Secondly, rule the world with the discipline of etiquette and law, and the people fear and stay away from him. Secondly, using force and violence, people will curse him and overthrow him when they are poor, which is called the greatest resentment in the world. Rulers cannot trust the people, nor can they let them live and work in peace and contentment. How do people obey?

Gain the length of the avenue, lose the decline of the avenue. If you lose your way, you will be benevolent, legal and martial. The more complicated the treatment, the worse it will be. Return, return, who is the master of the world?

So cautious, the best ruler rarely gives orders, so the people simply don't notice his existence. The world dominates people's well-being, and they all say: We just live on our own.

Therefore, the world is the people's world.

[Modification and difference]

According to the silk script, the current version of "too high, I don't know what's there" is defined as "too high, I know what's there". The reason is that the description of the supreme ruler ("the emperor's father") in the whole book does not deny its unknowability, but "not living after success" and "retiring after success". In the name of the ruler, it is necessary to promote the way of the world and safeguard the virtue of the world.

Tao Te Ching: The 18th and 19th Positive Solutions in Ancient and Modern Times

[Positive solution of this paper]

There will be no real achievement in doing anything.

Existence and non-existence, difficulty and ease complement each other, and opposing things are always together; How can it be perfect to be negative in order to get right? Showing benevolence and righteousness will abandon the road, knowing wisdom will teach the world to cheat, recommending filial piety will inevitably mean chaos in the people's homes, flaunting loyalty and righteousness will show that the national government is in a daze and making waves. How to stop the negative inevitable appearance?

Therefore, people who govern the country by Tao should do nothing and educate by words. This is to let people in the world live freely according to their nature. Therefore, from the direct goal, we should abandon courtesy, wisdom, benevolence and righteousness, skillfully abandon benefits and not disturb the people; Fundamentally speaking, we should keep the people's natural simplicity and abandon their selfish desires.

In a society of inaction, there is no righteousness and wrong, no truth and falsehood, no filial piety and unfilial, no loyalty and treachery. On the contrary, everything is going well.

This is called preparing for a rainy day and treating it before it happens. This cannot be opposed or disputed.

[Modification and difference]

1。 According to the silk script, the popular version of "abandoning wisdom and obeying morality" is defined as "abandoning wisdom and obeying etiquette".

Logically speaking, first of all, the sage keeps a low profile and protects the virtue of Tao, rather than not destroying the world. This is the place of practice, rather than abandoning the goal.

Secondly, there is a comment in the following article: "A husband is polite, loyal and careless; People who are aware of the past are the first to be stupid, so "courtesy" and "wisdom" are the goals of abandonment.

The word "Sheng" in ancient inscriptions is similar to the word "Li", which is easy to be mistaken.

2。 The silk book is about "great fallacy and great wisdom", which seems to be "abandoning Taoism and having benevolence and righteousness; Great fallacy, great wisdom; Six parents are not harmonious and have filial piety; National chaos, loyal ministers, neatly arranged, symbolizing "the decline of the world." "Today, according to the current version, it is defined as" wisdom comes out and there is a big fallacy. "

In fact, they are consistent in describing the coexistence of social phenomena. The Tao Te Ching advocates "abandoning propriety and wisdom" and "not ruling the country with wisdom", so the narrative logic should be "wisdom comes out with great fallacies".

Moreover, in social phenomena, "wisdom" is not only more obvious than "great fallacy", but also "wisdom coming out" is an important symbol of "the abolition of the avenue" and the origin of "great fallacy".

Another example is the following article: "many people are wise, and strange things are born; The logic of "wisdom" giving birth to "great falsehood" is reflected in the prosperity of law and discipline and the abundance of thieves.

The 20th Positive Solution of Tao Te Ching in Ancient and Modern Times

[Positive solution of this paper]

Give up desire for desire, give up learning for learning. Governing the country by Tao, instead of using the martial arts, is peace; With virtue, you are comfortable without wisdom and skills.

Wei Wei and Haring are the same tone, one humble and one noble; Beauty and ugliness are the same visual feelings, a kind of pleasure and a kind of disgust. Is nobility and beauty the real value? Heart, heart, I don't want to lag behind those who are sought after by others, and I am afraid to stay away from those who are poor, stupid and ugly. Society is far from pure. Decadent atmosphere, when is the end!

Therefore, from the point of view of Tao, respecting the inferior, beautiful and ugly is just vanity. What is the meaning of the difference? Saints should not fall into such confusion, follow such ethos, cultivate their self-cultivation with clever tricks, and learn with skills. Always indifferent and detached, free and carefree.

Like a baby! Everyone likes desire, while saints are simple; Everyone loves money, and saints are content. Like a fool again! Faint, don't use right and wrong to distinguish; Stuffy, don't worry about gains and losses. Broad-minded as the sea, indifferent as the wind.

The world is between a saint and a fool. Who knows the cause of lifelong distress? They are all mixed in the hustle and bustle to pursue fame and profit. Who knows the true meaning of silence and indifference? The world is studying hard, but the saints are all thumbs.

Saints are different from the rest of the world. What they cherish is to seek the purest virtue from the avenue, just as babies only know to seek food from their mothers.

[Modification and difference]

1。 It is better to be "carefree" and "carefree" than "carefree". Not just words. It is important to combine the meaning of the paragraph.

First of all, "Juexue, Worry-Free" should belong to the following positions:

[Chapter 19] Do not abandon wisdom with courtesy, and benefit the people a hundred times; Desperate, the people are filial; Never give up profits, thieves have nothing. The three men felt that their father was not enough, so they had other instructions: be simple now, be selfish and have less desires.

【 Chapter 20 】 JueXue carefree. Just by ah, out of geometry? What is the difference between beauty and evil? We must not be afraid of what people are afraid of. This is crazy. It's not over! Everyone is bustling, like a prison, like a platform. I am alone, it is not a good sign that the baby does not cough; Sorry, if there is no return. Everyone has more than enough, I am alone. What a stupid heart I am! Chaos! The layman is clear, and I am alone; Laity observation, I am bored alone. Hey, it's like the sea; Hey, if there is no end. Everyone has something to recommend, but I am stubborn and contemptuous. Unlike others, I beg for food from my mother.

This is because "simple now, less selfish, less desire" and "carefree learning" are not consistent in word structure, and the connotation of "learning" also includes "abandoning courtesy and wisdom, benevolence and righteousness, and skillfully abandoning benefits" Therefore, it should not belong to the content of "otherwise instructed", but undertake "abandoning ceremony and wisdom, benevolence and cleverness" and "being simple and selfish without desire" to further describe the personal sentiment realm of this line

Secondly, "Juexue, worry-free", the focus of "learning" should be the position of "individual", and "Juexue" means "individuals give up the pursuit of knowledge, skills and etiquette (and practice on the avenue)". This is just in line with "everyone has a purpose, and I am stubborn and contemptible." I am different from others. Eating my mother's food is expensive.

"carefree" is embodied in "I am alone" and "I am lonely, it is like the sea; Hey, if there is no end. "

Abandon worldly pursuits and practice in the avenue, thus getting rid of indifference. Therefore, "Juexue, worry-free".

2。 "Only by this, the geometry? What is the difference between good and evil? ",a (flattery) is" ha (reprimand) "and" goodness "is" beauty "."Everyone knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is itself; Everyone knows that the good is good, and the bad is not good "means the use of antonyms at that time." The antonyms of "beauty" are "evil (ugliness)" and "good (goodness); The antonyms of "xian" in Tao Te Ching are all "bad". Also like the silk book Beauty and Evil.

3。 The popular version of "Ruodeng Chuntai" is more similar to "Ruodeng Chuntai" and its structure is similar to "Ruodongchuan". To this day, taking its kind words is still as defined in the general book, and its meaning is no different. Hereby explain.

4。 According to the silk script (b), the "unborn baby" in the general book is defined as "unborn baby", which means "the baby has not yet understood the state of laughing".

Press: cough, children laugh. From the mouth, the sound of the sea-speaking.

And "Junko" is the complete state recognized by Laozi, such as the following article, "Virtue is thicker than Junko".

5。 According to the silk script, the popular version of "Riding, Riding, Riding and Happiness" was changed to "Riding, Riding and Happiness", which is more in line with the meaning of "there is no return". Because the heart of becoming a monk lies in simplicity and inaction, not in exposure.

6。 "I am different from others, but I am hungry for my mother's food (like a baby)" is a visual expression, which means "cherishing morality, keeping laws and books, and being precious to simplicity and nature" Can't be understood superficially.

The 21st Correct Answer of Tao Te Ching in Ancient and Modern Times

[Positive solution of this paper]

It is the most profound "virtue" to be able to realize the supremacy of the avenue, the truest and truest, and let everything completely obey the avenue and do nothing.

Fame and fortune, what you can get is vanity; Avenue is invisible, invisible, but it is the greatest truth. Vague, no real image; In a trance, there is no real form. The endless germinal movement in the universe is the essence of Tao; Everything develops according to it, and this is the faithfulness of the Tao.

Invisible is the beginning of heaven and earth; Being is the mother of all things. Tao is the only eternal supreme teacher: everything is born without possession, as the greatest without merit, everything grows without domination. The essence of Tao's treatment of all things in this way is the hidden "Xuande" in the universe.

Throughout the ages, people have talked about the word "Tao", and the name of the avenue has never been erased as the foundation of "governing the people". The real "governing the people" is "a man with a way"!

[Modification and difference]

The word "read" in the popular book "people from ancient times to present, whose names don't go away, are mostly read by their fathers" was changed to "shun". The basis is that that sentence means that the name of the avenue has never been erased since ancient times, and "there is a road" and "there is no road" are the basis for governance.

Therefore, the word "reading (observing) and proofreading" was changed to "following (doing)". The two should be regarded as ancient and similar.

The 22nd Correct Interpretation of Tao Te Ching in Ancient and Modern Times

[Positive solution of this paper]

Taking music as a whole is a measure of selflessness and uncontested; Taking waste as right is a kind of gentleness of women, which is not controversial. Full of depression is a state of mind without attachment; What covers the new is to cherish simple ethics. It is wise to be content with Zhi Zhi getting less; Confusion with many things is the burden that foreign things bring to life. The reason why we can correct people's mistakes is because saints have a dull heart.

Therefore, saints stick to the road of chaos as the way of world governance in France. Nothing to do! If you don't know yourself, you really know, because it is right to let the people be right; It is not self-affirmation ability, because it conforms to human will and nature. It is precisely because the people themselves are self-interested and naturally peaceful that they do not boast of their achievements in governance; If you don't hold your own high standards, reserve yourself, and impose your will on others to be an official, that is to retire and take the people as dignity. The reason why the world can be peaceful and the people can be at ease is because the saints conform to the chaos of the avenue.

Isn't a saint to cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's nature, and then to support the people and rule the country? Isn't it to correct yourself first and then correct the silence in the world?

[Modification and difference]

1。 The basis for defining "Fei Zheng" as "Fei Zheng" in General Book is that, first of all, the original meaning of "Fei Zheng" is "incorrect", while the antonym of "straight" is "curved", such as "curved is straight". Secondly, the "straight" and "positive" sounds are similar, and the outlines of ancient China writing fonts are similar, which is easy to make mistakes.

2。 The silk book "Give one as the world's shepherd" and the popular book "Give one as the world's style". Today, it is defined as "taking one as the world".

First of all, the ancient golden characters "Zhi" and "Bao" are similar in shape and are easily mistaken. However, it can be seen that the word "hug" is mostly used in the occasion of "holding others ……", such as "holding an elephant, the world is moving" and "holding a left contract, not complaining about others"; The word "hug" focuses on occasions such as "hug yourself internally", "hug one" and "be simple now". This chapter discusses that there is no dispute with others, and it is appropriate to use "embrace one". "One", "Harmony within" and "Virtue outside".

Secondly, not to mention that there is no word "animal husbandry" in Tao Te Ching to express the meaning of "governance", and the actual ancient gold characters "animal husbandry" and "style" are similar in shape, which is easy to be mistaken. The term "grazing for the world" in silk books is obviously "grazing". The word "shepherd" in ancient times does have the verb meaning of "governance", which can be used as "governance (people)" in a general sense and applicable to different levels; It also means "governor", but its application level is low, "state animal husbandry", which is not enough to match "the world". However, there is a realm of "knowing its white, keeping its black, being the demeanor of the world" ... returning to infinity ",which can conform to the realm of" the husband and the talent are indisputable, so the world cannot compete with it "

However, this chapter is a continuation of the topic of "ancestors" in the previous chapter and continues to discuss "governing the country and leveling the world". The "indisputable" of the monks here should belong to the level of "governing the world".

In this regard, there is the following article: "Jianghai can be the king of hundreds of valleys, and because of its goodness, it can be the king of hundreds of valleys." It is a saint who wants to go to the people and must say it; If you want to be an ancestor, you must be behind you. Therefore, the sage is above the people, but the people are not heavy, and the people do not harm before, and the world never tires of pushing them. Don't argue with it? Therefore, the world cannot compete with it.

The 23rd Correct Answer of Tao Te Ching in Ancient and Modern Times

[Positive solution of this paper]

Holding the avenue lies in no desire, and using the avenue lies in inaction. Only by not giving orders to the people can we return to the main road. To support the people is to make them feel at ease and enjoy themselves.

Those who act rashly are doomed to failure, and those who cling to it are doomed to failure, just as a strong wind can't blow all morning and a heavy rain can't rain all day. Even if the heavens and the earth are so big, they won't last long, let alone people. Quiet and motionless, this is the normal state that the avenue gives to everything in the world.

Therefore, walking along the avenue lies in being consistent with the Tao. If you get the avenue, you are in a state consistent with the avenue, so the avenue will also maintain it; Losing Avenue is also a state of separation from Avenue, so Avenue will abandon him.

Isn't it because the storm died early that it doesn't conform to the road?

Follow it and you will prosper, but disobey it and you will perish. The rules of the avenue must not be violated.

[Revision and Interpretation]

Therefore, those who engage in Taoism are the same, those who are virtuous are the same, and those who lose are the same. Those who are the same, the Tao also gets it; With virtue, virtue also gains, and with loss, loss also gains ",which is based on today's silk book.

"Therefore, those who engage in Taoism are also the same: those who gain the same, and those who lose the same. Those who get the same, the Tao also gets it; With the loser, the Tao is also lost. "

"The wind doesn't stop, the showers don't stop all day" means "it's hard to stay away from the normal state for a long time", and the silk book just fits this meaning.

Secondly, in Laozi's theory, "Tao" is a separate existence, while "virtue" and "loss" are both conceptual words, which are difficult to establish as verb subjects.

The vernacular translation of this sentence is:

Therefore, those who follow the Tao are consistent with the Tao (care: Xuan Tong): those who gain the Tao are consistent with the Tao, and those who lose the Tao are consistent with the Tao; Touching the Tao will also make it gain a lot, and losing the Tao will also make it lose a lot.
