50 points to use the Tao Te Ching to see happiness, Chapter 12 of the Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu

This issue is reported by me to you in a political report.

Individualistic satisfaction (private appropriation of capital) is the fundamental guarantee of a peaceful and prosperous world. "Tao Te Ching Chapter 7" "Heaven and earth are eternal. Therefore, those who can live long and long in heaven and earth can live forever because they do not generate by themselves.

It is the saint who comes after him; Outside of the body, but in the body. Isn't it because of its selflessness? Therefore, it can become its own selfishness".

It's all "inaction" to protect oneself, and self is selfish. In the eyes of some people who are false, righteous and moral, they will be criticized again. And (we are collective, so I have no responsibility, these responsibilities are collective, are all **) is also modern morality.

Here we have to talk about the legitimacy and supremacy of individualism. Without private possession of personal property, it is impossible to achieve true personal responsibility, and private responsibility cannot achieve true personality. Only when the responsibility of the individual is fulfilled can it be manifested as a citizen in the true sense of the word.

Therefore, the process of realizing individualism in economic construction is a long-term and repeated process, and only when the private possession of capital, the long-term education of the nation, and the education of society can we talk about the happiness of private personality and the happiness of the big socialist family. Otherwise, happiness is an empty preaching. And it doesn't make any sense at all, it's just a decoration, a hypocritical concept.

Conclude with the words of two of China's greatest thinkers.

Lao Tzu said: "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency with more loss, but the way of man is not, and the loss is more than enough".

Confucius said, "Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

The landlord might as well flip through the ...... of the Tao Te Ching by himself

The Tao Te Ching embodies the main body of Taoist thought and is a material realist Taoist thought, while the Nanhua Jing, Liezi and Wenzi are spiritual realist ideological works. In addition, "Purity", "Vipassana", "Yellow Garden", "Hug Pu" and so on emphasize idealism. Of course, Taoism also has to be mentioned, and it should be classified as a deified Taoist thought, such as "Daozang", a total of more than 1,800 copies, a lot of them!

The reason why the "Daozang" is mentioned is because it is the carrier ...... of the inheritance of Mo Zhai's thoughts

In fact, there are not many descriptions of the state of happiness in Taoist classics, let alone the so-called "definition of happiness", but in realist books, many propositions and strategies are put forward to achieve universal harmony and happiness for all. Each of these theories has its own focus, but all of them are towards one goal, that is, to pursue a small family and a small family, and a prosperous society! The Tao Te Ching focuses on governing the country from the establishment of a "king of the way".

Of course, it is not only Taoism that puts forward propositions for the ideal of governing the country, but Han Fei of Legalism and Meng Ke of Confucianism put forward a series of strategies for reassuring the people and governing the government from the economic perspective; Mo Zhai of the Jujia is the most thorough "nationalist" grand ducal thought.

Happiness is actually very simple, eat and dress warmly, live and work in peace and contentment. "Willing to eat, beautiful clothes, peaceful living, happy customs. But how to meet people's increasing needs for happiness is indeed a difficult problem, and it is also the focus. From ancient times to the present, Jun thinks about the people's livelihood and worries, and forgets the people's livelihood and the country.

With my limited ability, I only learned more about the spirit of this topic from the Tao Te Ching.

Neighboring countries look at each other, chickens and dogs hear each other, and the people die of old age and do not interact with each other. In the era of natural economy, the state of connection between people is generally in two "extreme situations", one is that old age and death do not get along, and the other is life and death. The old and the dead do not get along with each other in the ruling world, and the life and death are shared in the troubled times.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the neighbors will be silent, please be open-minded. Why do we live and die together?! Drop out of cultivation and unveil the pole as a banner.

Therefore, from this point of view, "old age and death do not get along" is a manifestation of social tranquility and order. In the era of natural economy, this is exactly the case.

Contentment is not humiliating, and knowing that it will not be destroyed.

It's too long, I'm sorry, I can only check the information for yourself.

Discovering Lao Tzu, by Yang Rungen, Huaxia Publishing House.

Meaning:

The colorful world of flowers dazzles people.

The noisy chords are deafening.

The delicacies of the mountains and seas, the delicacies of wine and delicacies, make the population unable to distinguish the taste.

Shooting eagles and chasing deer, riding horses and hunting, makes people mentally crazy.

Gold, silver, jewelry, diamonds, and agate make people break the law and violate morality.

Therefore, the sage ruled the world by first feeding the people and not looking around in the colorful world.

Therefore, abandon prosperity and luxury, and choose simplicity and simplicity.

The interpretation of the fifteenth chapter of the Tao Te Ching is as follows:

In ancient times, people who were good at doing the Tao were subtle and profound, which was not understandable to ordinary people. It is precisely because I cannot know him that I can only reluctantly describe him: He is cautious, like stepping on water to cross a river in winter;

He was vigilant and vigilant, as if he were guarding against the attacks of his neighbors; He was respectful and solemn, as if he were going to a banquet as a guest; He moves freely, like ice slowly melting; He is simple and kind, as if there are no processed raw materials; He is far and open-minded, like a deep valley; He is thick and forgiving, like muddy water.

Who can calm down the turbidity and slowly clarify? Who can make the quiet change and slowly show vitality? Those who maintain this "way" will not be complacent. It is precisely because he is never complacent that he is able to renew.

"Dao" is subtle, profound, and uncertain. Ordinary people find the Tao elusive, but those who have attained the Tao are obviously different from the worldly people, and they have a unique style and unique personality form. Worldly people are "those who have deep desires and are shallow", they are extremely shallow, so that people can see through them at a glance; The people who have attained the "Tao" are quiet and unfathomable.

Lao Tzu also reluctantly made a description for them here, that is, "strong is tolerant". They have good personality cultivation and psychological quality, and have good meditation and inner activities. On the surface, they are quiet and inactive, but in fact they are extremely creative, that is, they move at the static pole and move at the pole, which is the process of their life activities.

Lao Tzu's ideal personality is honest and simple, calm and mindful, and the inner world is extremely rich, and can change from stillness to movement under certain conditions. This kind of stillness and movement in the personality is also in line with the law of change of the "Tao".

The Tao Te Ching is a philosophical work by Lao Tzu (Li Er) during the Spring and Autumn Period.

The wise men of ancient times were subtle and mysterious, and they were so profound that they could only be described as immeasurable: cautious as crossing a river in winter, vigilant as fearing everyone around them, and restrained as going to someone's house. Crystal like ice to be thawed, simple as a log, empty as a valley, mixed (I can't remember how to say it) like dirty water, vast as the sea, leisurely.

If it's the clarity that is slowly deposited, who can disturb him? If it's the kind of power that grows slowly (see "The Power of the Seed"), who can stop him? Those who have attained the Tao will never be complacent, because they are not complacent, so they can always make progress and keep improving.

The Tao Te Ching has a far-reaching artistic conception, words cannot be expressed, and only by reading it several times in context can we understand what Lao Tzu wants to say.

Someone else's translation.

In ancient times, people who were good at cultivating the Tao were subtle and profound, and they were not understandable to ordinary people, and it was precisely because they could not know him that they could reluctantly describe him. He was cautious, as if he was stepping on ice to cross a river in winter, he was vigilant, as if he was guarding against the attack of his neighbors, he was respectful and solemn, as if he were going to a banquet as a guest; He moves freely, like ice melting, he is simple and kind, as if there are no raw materials added. He is far and open, like a deep valley.

He is thick and forgiving, like muddy water. Who can calm down the turbidity and slowly clarify? Who can make the quiet change and slowly show vitality?

Those who maintain this "way" will not be complacent. It is precisely because he is never complacent that he is able to renew.

My comment: In the past, people who were good at cultivating the Tao, although they were not known by ordinary people, because they were very low-key, but Lao Tzu discovered that, although they were subtle and unfathomable, they were summarized in seven aspects. Acting cautiously is like walking on a frozen river in winter, tentatively taking a step, taking a step, and then looking at the reflection of the ice around you. Is there a crack appearing, no, go further, if there is, don't go forward, go back, climb down and divert the route; In short, be careful and careful.

Such a person may be very tired in this day and age. Whether they can survive is also worth paying attention to, at least for those in the disadvantaged groups. He is very wary of the people around him, and is always afraid that his neighbors and colleagues will know that he has the ability and ability, so that others will be jealous and victimized, I feel very tired to live and work with such people, and he has to stay alone.

Such a person, even if he is respectful and usually very solemn, as if he is attending a banquet, I don't think anyone will pay attention to this kind of person. If you want to behave freely, he can't do it himself, because as I said before, be cautious in dealing with the world. How can you be free and easy, isn't this a monster.

But others can understand its simplicity and sincerity, and his humility is like a valley. So what can be understood is that he is a fool who usually does not speak, sits upright, and the living people also think that he is very deep in the city, and he has reached the valley of humility. The special characteristics that Lao Tzu described as a person with Tao may have, from the perspective of today's human understanding, are difficult to concentrate on one person.

Who can make the turbid Yellow River slowly calm down, and then, to achieve clean and transparent, maybe Lao Tzu is talking about the Yellow River here, this is my guess, but it doesn't matter, other rivers can do too. Because I remembered a sentence in my head, the sage came out of the Yellow River. So it's better to think of this place as the Yellow River.

The water of the Yellow River, which is quiet, arranges to nourish all things and make all things thrive, which is the true saint of the Tao. If this standard is used to measure whether there is a saint of the Tao, it is indeed a high standard and strict requirement, I am afraid that it is not enough to only meet the characteristics of the seven aspects proposed by Lao Tzu, it is really difficult. At least since Lao Tzu proposed this standard, no one has reached it, and maybe someone will achieve this goal in the future.

Otherwise, it will really become an unattainable standard.

"Only" can be understood as the promise of "only promise"; "Ah" is understood as "flattery". The two may seem different on the surface, but they are essentially the same. So Lao Tzu asked rhetorically, "How far apart is it?" ”

The key to the sentence "everyone has a to" lies in the understanding of the word "to". Generally speaking, "to" here means to rely on, that is, all people (ordinary people) have something to live on (wealth, goals, beliefs, self-esteem, .........).And I am stubborn and despised" but I am the only one who does not know how to be flexible and has a vulgar temperament.

And the noble food mother", "mother" is the "Tao" that Lao Tzu obeys, and the first chapter of the "Tao Te Ching" is called "the mother of all things".

In fact, this chapter is the longest chapter in the Tao Te Ching, which is mainly to list the comparisons between Lao Tzu and everyone else, so as to further explain his "Tao". In layman's terms, it also reflects Lao Tzu's self-confidence ...... of "not taking the ordinary road".Although Lao Tzu admired "humility", he still could not hide his self-confidence as a great philosopher and great wisdom. The landlord can also refer to "The sergeant hears the word and acts diligently; When the sergeant heard this, if he survived, he died; When the corporal heard this, he laughed.

Not laughing, not enough for the Tao".

Silk Book, Chapter 20 of the Tao Te Ching:

Only with He, how far is it? Beauty and evil, what is the difference? What people fear, we must not be afraid of.

Ridiculous, it's not young! Everyone is bustling, if you enjoy the prison, like spring on the stage, I have no omen, if the baby is not born; Tired, if there is no place to return, everyone is more than enough, I am alone, and my fool's heart is also. Chaos, the laity are clear, I am alone; The laity observe, and I am alone.

Oh, it's like the sea; In a trance, it seems to be endless. Everyone has it, and I am stubborn. I want to be different from others, and I want to be a mother.

I don't know which version you're looking at, but this silk book is the earliest, and it should be the least altered, the bamboo slip book that preceded the silk book, I don't know whether it's true or not, and it's consistent with the content of the silk book.

As for the first sentence, the first sentence in the Tao Te Ching often adopts the technique of reviving (often used literary techniques in the Chu period, and most of them are in the Book of Poetry), only and He are both responses, and the meaning of this sentence should be, only and He, how much is the difference between them?

Chapter 20 belongs to the first part, the Tao, and chapters 16-20 are basically a small unit, which can be linked to see that this unit talks about the Tao as the root.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 20: Lao Tzu said that aspiring people are indifferent to fame and fortune, and do not follow the crowd in order to sublimate.

Judging from Wang Bi and Su Zhe's explanations, it only refers to the response of juniors to elders, while A refers to the response of elders to juniors. Here, superiors, subordinates, etc., can be in this relationship. Those who are reasonable have a high voice, that is, Ah, and those who are unreasonable, who have a low voice, are the only.

Geometry is the relativity of things.

Everyone has it, and it is based on it, which is the purpose of speaking, that is, Xixi, Zhaozhao, and Chacha make everyone happy and tired, and forget to return to the basics. Mother is the avenue, the original. Gui Shimu is to say that she is completely natural and not disturbed by the outside world.
