How to understand that the world knows that beauty is beautiful, and evil is already known that good

The world knows that beauty is beauty, Si Evil has been; We all know that what is good is good, and what is not good has been" can be interpreted literally, and understood in a practical logical sense.

1. Literal meaning:

Everyone in the world knows what the standard of beauty is, so the opposite standard of ugliness is also determined at the same time; Everyone in the world knows what the definition of good is for good, and the definition of evil on the contrary is also determined at the same time.

2. Practical significance:

For example, if we set a standard or a definition of beauty, then the standard and definition that is the opposite of the content is the standard and definition of ugliness. That is to say, when we define beauty, we are actually defining ugliness. When we define good, we define evil, because what is contrary to the definition of good is the definition of evil.

For example, if we define that harming oneself and benefiting others is good, we are tantamount to saying that harming others and benefiting oneself is evil. There is a positive and a negative, and the affirmation is the negative.

The world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is evil; Everyone knows that what is good is good, and what is not good means that everyone in the world recognizes good things, and that is because of the existence of ugliness; can recognize good things, and that's because there is unkindness. Lao Tzu pointed out that everything has its own opposite, and all of them take the opposing aspects as the premise of their existence, which is the so-called "opposites complement each other" in classical Chinese philosophy

Si: Conjunction, just. Already: 撦yí, an interjection, expressing surprise, in the full sense of the word, it is a warning: beauty and ugliness, good and evil exist in comparison, and the modern philosophical point of view is interpreted as "everything is divided into two, opposites and unified".

Therefore, there is no mutual birth, difficulty and ease are mutually compatible, the length is dwarfed, the high and the low are inclined to each other, the sound is harmonious, and the front and back are followed.

It is to do what the saint does not do, and to teach without words; All things do not quit, they are born without being, they are not ashamed, and they live in success. If the husband does not live, he will not go.

Everyone in the world recognizes good things, and that is because of the existence of ugliness; can recognize good things, and that's because there is unkindness. Therefore, existence and non-existence depend on each other, difficulty and ease are formed by mutual opposition, long and short appear because of mutual opposition, high and low depend on each other, sound and sound are harmonious because of mutual opposition, and front and back follow because of mutual opposition. Therefore, the saint treats the world from the point of view of non-action, and practices the teaching by example in a non-verbal way

Let all things arise naturally without intervening, and give birth to all things without taking them for themselves; Giving favors to others without relying on them for self-interest; Succeed and not take it for yourself. Because he did not take credit, he did not lose his merits.

The world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is evil; We all know that what is good is good, and what is not good is good. Therefore, there is no mutual birth, difficulty and ease are mutually compatible, the length is dwarfed, the high and the low are inclined to each other, the sound is harmonious, and the front and back are followed. It is to do what the saint does not do, and to teach without words;

All things do not give up, are born without being, are not ashamed, and succeed without dwelling. If the husband does not live, he will not go.

Translation: People all over the world know that beauty is beautiful, and they know what ugliness is. If you know what is good and what is good, you will know what is not good.

Therefore, there is and no interdependence and arises, difficult and easy depend on each other to form, long and short compare with each other, high and low tolerate each other, sound and sound correspond to each other, and front and back follow each other. Therefore, the saint handles the affairs of the world with the principle of non-action and educates with a non-verbal attitude. Let all things develop for themselves and not first create.

The saint assists the growth of all things without taking them for what they already have, does something to all things without believing in his own kindness, and succeeds without claiming to be meritorious. It is precisely because the saint is so proud that his merits will never be lost.

The world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is evil; We all know that what is good is good, and what is not good is good. A lot of people misinterpret this sentence.

True interpretation: Everyone thinks that beautiful things are pursued, and this so-called beauty itself is evil and ugly; Everyone thinks that it is good (right) and does it, and this so-called right is already wrong.

The world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is evil; We all know that what is good is good; Si is not good. Excerpt from "Lao Tzu, Tao Jing, Chapter 2".

Explanation: Everyone in the world knows that beautiful things are beautiful because they are ugly, and they all know that the reason why good is good is because of the existence of unkindness.

It is an exposition of Lao Tzu's simple dialectical philosophy, which is very close to the contradictory concept in Marxist philosophy.

Everything in the phenomenal world is relative, and the concepts of beauty and ugliness, good and evil, existence and absence, difficulty and ease, and superiority are all formed by each other, and because of this, the saint does nothing, because your wanton behavior is very likely to make the development of things go to the opposite.

The world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is evil; We all know that what is good is good, and what is not good is good. In fact, this has been verified by modern social life.

For example, the Internet celebrity face is a very standard beauty, and the world knows that the Internet celebrity face is very beautiful, so all women take the Internet celebrity face as the standard, makeup, beauty, and even plastic surgery, so that what you see on the Internet is all Internet celebrity faces, so it causes people to dislike the Internet celebrity face, which is not beautiful.

Everyone in the world knows that charity is a kind act, so netizens stare at public figures every day to see how much money they donate, and if a public figure donates less money, or does not donate money, they will criticize and use morality to kidnap others, so it is not good.

The whole world knows what beauty is, and this ugliness is born; When we all know what is good, the bad will appear.

Personal analysis: Once the concept of beauty is formed and the phenomenon of beauty is known, it will naturally produce the opposite of ugly concepts and phenomena; In the same way, when the concept of good is formed, and the behavior corresponding to good is understood, there will naturally be the concept and behavior of evil. In a word, the emergence of one concept will bring about the emergence of another concept contrary to this concept, and the world or things that were originally chaotic or considered to be the same begin to be divided into two heaven and earth, which are clearly distinguished.

People think it's beautiful because it's compared to ugly. If beauty meets more beautiful, it becomes ugly, but this ugliness is relatively more beautiful, so there are opposite opposites to everything, and opposites can transform each other. People also learn about the world through comparison.

People all over the world know that beauty is beautiful, and they know what ugliness is. If you know what is good and what is good, you will know what is not good. In the words of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, the main thing I want to say is that the contradictions in the world are always mutually reinforcing, such as Tai Chi Yin and Yang, which cannot exist alone, and only symbiosis can coexist.

Therefore, when thinking of one side in thought, do not forget the opposite side, there is no absolute, and the positive and negative sides come to different conclusions according to the different evaluation criteria.

If everyone in the world knows that good things are beautiful, then they will reveal their ugliness. If we all know that something that is kind is good, then it shows that we are not good.

From: Lao Tzu.

Tao Te Ching "The world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil has been. We all know that what is good is good, and what is not good is good. There is no symbiosis, difficulty and ease are compatible, long and short are dwarfed, high and low are inclined to each other, sound and sound are harmonious, and they follow each other.

Heng also. It is to do what the saint does not do, and to teach without words; All things are made and Buddha, born and Buddha, and Buddha, and succeeded without living. Fu Wei Fuju is not going to go.

The modern vernacular text is:

The world thinks that beauty is beauty, which is not good; They all think that good is good, and this is not good. Presence or absence is only a representation of birth, difficulty is only a representation of progress, length is only a representation of shape, height and inferiority are only representations of inclination, sound is only representation of harmony, and before and after is only representation of accompaniment. Everything is constant, so the saint does nothing, does not speak, all things are done without beginning, germinate without possession, do not rely on it, succeed without self-esteem, and because he does not claim to be self-esteemed, there is no loss.

The popular understanding is that there is no distinction between beauty and ugliness, good and evil.

Lao Tzu's philosophical thought: "Tao" is the foundation of the world.
