    Tao, Tao, non-Tao, common way; Name, name, name, non, common name.

    Your question is that it's too long to see.

    To be honest, I really don't know who this question is. Because I haven't seen it. Also, I don't like to read translations, because it's just that their point of view has nothing to do with mine.

    I think the original text of the Tao Te Ching is not difficult to understand, what is difficult to understand is what the version you are looking at (because the version of the Tao Te Ching is indeed a multi-word version). When I read the Tao Te Ching, I read the original text, not the translation, because what is translated into modern Chinese is not necessarily Lao Tzu's willingness. For example, the holy renounces wisdom.

    Nowadays many people translate it as abandoning the saints and abandoning the wise. Can this be Lao Tzu's willingness, obviously not. Because Lao Tzu was the greatest wise man and saint at that time, he didn't say that he was a fool and useless.

    There is also the sentence "The way of the saints can be walked, but it is not the path that ordinary people walk; A name can be obtained, but it is not a name that ordinary people seek. - I don't think that's at all right. I think this sentence is the "Tao" in Lao Tzu's mind, not the translation.

    This statement is more accepted now, so I agree with it as well.

    Having said so. I just want to say that there is no need to dwell on what the translation is, and how to express it. Because the translation is not the original text. I hope what I have said will be of benefit to you in the future.

    Heavy is light roots, quiet is restless. World Fortune.

    Calm and steady is the foundation for overcoming frivolity and sloppiness, and calmness and steadfastness are the masters of impatience and recklessness.

    It is a gentleman who walks all day long, and does not leave the baggage. Although there is a view of glory, the swallow is transcendent.

    Therefore, the saint acts in every way, and even if the return is dazzling, he must be detached. Old debate.

    But the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles, and despise the world? If it is light, it will lose its roots, and if it is rash, it will lose its king.

    Thick is the root of frivolity, and pure is the manic king. Therefore, the saint walked all day long, but did not leave the trembling weight of the chariot he carried. Although there is a luxurious palace view, it is quiet to live in Bilian Kai and be transcendent.

    Why does the monarch of a great country rule the world recklessly? Frivolity will inevitably lose its roots, and mania will inevitably lose its throne.

    Thick is the root of rashness, and stillness is the master of restlessness. Therefore, the gentleman walks all day long, does not leave the vehicle carrying his luggage, and although he is attracted by the gastronomic scene, he can deal with it safely. Why is the monarch of a great country, Li Cohail, still rash and impatient to rule the world?

    The rashness of the stool will lose the fundamentals; Impatience leads to loss of dominance.

    Heavy things are the foundation of light things, and tranquility is the master of movement. Therefore, the saint travels all day long, and he cannot do without baggage. Although the residence is in a towering building, it is quiet and detached.

    How can the monarch who is a leader of ten thousand times be contemptuous of the world? Imprudentity loses ground, and irritability loses initiative.

    Heaven and earth have no heart for all things, let them live and perish, and the saints have no heart for loving the people, let them be self-nourishing and self-sufficient.

    It is like a bellows between heaven and earth, empty but not exhausted, and the more agitation, the more things appear.

    If you have too many words, you can't be like a void, and you will eventually be exhausted, so it's better to keep the void and the silence.

    That is to say, in order to attain enlightenment, you can't think too much about words, and the true Tao can't be experienced with words and thoughts, and if you think too much about words, you will get into trouble and become more and more passively confused. To be like heaven and earth, although there is no heart, it can become all things, and even if it becomes all things, it still has no heart to use.

    Help me set the best thank you.

    I've only learned that good things depend on bad things, and bad things hide behind good things.

    The meaning is similar to "Seon loses his horse and knows whether he is blessed or not".

    1."The one who wins" relies on the brute strength of the self; "Self-victorious" relies on a strong will. A person who can overcome himself is a person who has the ambition of heaven and earth.
