    I suggest that the Tao Te Ching cannot be translated, and the key to the charm and profundity of the Sutra lies in its connotation. If it is explained in the vernacular, it can only explain one of the meanings, and many connotations are lost. It is recommended that you read the ancient text, if you really don't understand it, you can combine it with annotations, but you can't just look at the translation, that makes no sense, hehe.

    It is strongly not recommended to read the translation, as the so-called benevolent see the wise and the wise see the wise, and the personal understanding is different.

    I only saw the translation of the descendants. Did Lao Tzu himself translate it? Lao Tzu didn't have albino literature at that time.

    There are many versions available online and it's easy to get down. The real translation needs to be understood by itself.

    The original text and translation of the Tao Te Ching are as follows:"Lao Tzu", also known as "Tao Te Ching", "Tao Te Ching", "Five Thousand Words", "Lao Tzu Five Thousand Texts", is a work in ancient China before the Qin princes split into a book, for the time of the sons of the common admiration, the legend is the Spring and Autumn Period of Lao Tzu Li Er (seems to be the author, annotator, copyist of the collection) written, is an important Taoist philosophical thought. The Tao Te Ching is divided into two parts, the original text of the first part of the "Book of Virtues", the next part of the "Book of Virtues", not divided into chapters, and later changed to "The Book of Virtues" 37 chapters in front, after the 38th chapter is the "Book of Virtues", and is divided into 81 chapters.

    I. Chapter I.

    The Tao is very good, and it is very good. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always none, I want to see its wonder, I always have, I want to see it. These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders.

    2. Translation: The Tao can be spoken, but it is not commonly spoken. A name can be given, but it is not the usual name.

    It can be said that he is nothing, because he was before the foundation of heaven and earth; It can also be said that He is, because He is the mother of all things. Therefore, from the perspective of nothingness, we can figure out his mysteries. From a real point of view, you can see his traces.

    Reality and nothingness are just different statements, and the two actually come from the same source. This kind of unity is called mystery. Mysterious and mysterious!

    The source of all the mysteries of the universe.

    The original text and explanation of the Tao Te Ching are as follows:

    1. Chapter 1:

    The Tao is very good, and it is very good. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. The beginning of the nameless world; The mother of all things. Therefore, there is often no desire to observe the wonder; There is often a desire to observe it. These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders.

    Explanation] The Word, which can be spoken, is not the Eternal Word; The name, which can be called, is not the name of Yonghui Ranheng. Nothing, is the original name of heaven and earth; Yes is the name that gives birth to all things. Therefore, we always observe the mystery of the Tao from "nothingness".

    We often observe the operation of the Tao from the "being". These two are the same **, just with different names. It can be said that the meaning is far-reaching. Far-reaching and far-reaching, it is the general door of all mysteries.

    2. Chapter 2:

    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 symbiosis, it is difficult to dig and easy to form each other, the length is dwarfed, the high and the low are inclined to each other, the sound is harmonious, and the front and back 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.

    Explanation]: Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and it is because there are ugly things. We all know that what is good is good, because there is evil.

    Therefore, there is and no mutual aid, difficult and easy form each other, long and short tolerate each other, high and low tolerate each other, sound and sound help each other and harmonize, and the front and back help each other follow.

    Therefore, the saint deals with things without doing anything, practicing wordless teaching, and all things change by themselves without beginning with it. He has grown all things without taking them for himself, has nurtured all things without relying on his own abilities, and has succeeded without taking credit. It is precisely because of the lack of merit that merit will not be lost.

    3. Chapter 3:

    If you are not virtuous, you will not fight the people; Inexpensive and rare goods, so that the people will not be thieves; If you don't see what you want, the people's hearts will not be disturbed. It is the rule of a saint, who is humble in his heart, solid in his belly, weak in his will, and strong in his bones. He often makes the people ignorant and desireless. The wise man does not dare to do it. If you do nothing, you will not be cured.

    Explanation] Do not exalt talented people, lest the people compete, do not examine rare goods, and do not let the people be seen as thieves. Do not let you see things that can cause greed, so that the people's hearts will not be disturbed.

    Therefore, the saints rule the world, so that the hearts of the people of the world are empty, they are well fed, they have no ambition to compete for strength, and their bodies are good, and they often make the people have no mind and want to judge the despair, so that those who have the mind do not dare to act rashly. If you do things with the principle of inaction, there is nothing that cannot be done.

    This article is not ancient and does not need to be translated.

    I think it's a progressive way of writing, from shallow to deep, from near to far.

    I think this is a window of time that reveals the laws of nature, from ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years. The changes that have taken place to elaborate philosophical thought, based on respect for objective laws, to ** natural life, political power and the universe as a whole.

    The first is from near and far. The four seasons of the year go on and on, letting you know what spring, summer, autumn, and winter are, and ten years have never changed abnormally.

    For people, a hundred years can be a pity of birth, old age, sickness and death, you will know that this is the inevitable law, and no one can avoid it.

    As far as the regime is concerned, there is no dynasty that has remained unchanged for a thousand years, and there will inevitably be a time for a change of dynasty.

    For 10,000 years, we can know the changes in the vicissitudes of the sea.

    The Himalayas were archaeologists who have been archaeologists who have gradually risen from the ocean into mountains. The orbits of nine planets are changing, and scientists estimate that the sun can burn for another 5 billion years

    This is the law of nature, irresistible!

    First of all, year after year, the cycle repeatedly, and the 10 years have never been interrupted throughout the year.

For young people, the enlightenment of the Tao Te Ching is that you must have your own values and outlook on life, and think clearly about what you should do in this life, so as to be worthy of this life, which is your life's "Tao" and your life's "nothing". The Tao Te Ching begins with the words, "Nothing, the beginning of heaven and earth"; The Tao Te Ching also says, "All things in the world are born from being, and some are born from nothing." The intangible is always more powerful, more reliable, and closer to the essence than the tangible. >>>More

Dude, the Tao Te Ching is not a classical Chinese text, especially the first chapter, which is the general outline of the Tao Te Ching, which cannot be translated in modern Chinese, and you have to rely on your own comprehension to understand it, everyone looks at it and understands things differently, you want a ready-made, basically impossible. Even if there is a so-called translation, it has long since changed its taste, and what you see is not the most standard, or even irrelevant.

The Tao Te Ching is one of the main classics of pre-Qin Taoism, which mainly expounds the idea of Wu Wei. It is basically useless to our ordinary people's lives, but it has a certain role in economic activities, such as liberalism, which has played a guiding ideology in economic activities in Western countries, and there is an element of non-action thinking. There is also the shadow of Taoism in the management of enterprises.
