Liberal ideas in Taoist thought

The liberal ideas in Taoist people's livelihood thought are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Advocate that heaven is natural, whether it is nature or human society has its own laws of operation, no one or any group (including **) is omnipotent, oppose human intervention, and advocate inaction.

2. Taoism believes that "I have no desire and the people are self-enriched", and the poverty of the people is the reason for too much taxation, and advocates recuperation and light endowment, so it created the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties.

3. Many people believe that non-interference will cause the phenomenon of too large a gap between the rich and the poor, but Taoists believe that the sky rains nectar, uneven self-equality, only by doing nothing, the gap between the rich and the poor can be controlled within a reasonable range, on the contrary, the powerful will use their power to make themselves more wealthy, so that most people fall into general poverty.

According to the research of some people, Taoist liberal thought was first seen in Lao Tzu, Zhongjing Zhuangzi, carried forward by Sima Qian, he even discussed the law of economic operation and the spirit of entrepreneurship for the first time, these ideas had a significant impact on the European physiocrats, Adam Smith, Hayek and others, and formed a broad and profound liberal economic thought.

The most important thing is to rule by inaction, not to govern the people, and to completely manage the people themselves, which is the greatest freedom.

Secondly, the small country and the widow, in terms of formal freedom.

Thirdly, the idea of living with the people's livelihood is embodied in the economy, politics and culture, and is an expression of freedom.

Finally, the livelihood of Taoism is, to a certain extent, selfish livelihood, so it will produce liberalism. "Lao Tzu": Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. So, this high degree of liberalism is to focus only on one's own results.

Look at the Taiping Sutra and other scriptures yourself, and what others say must be right.

Explain Taoism in common words.

The spirit of freedom is "quiet and non-action", and Taoism acknowledges the change of things but does not want to be limited by these general laws, Taoism believes that if the spirit can merge with everything, it can become everything. And then Taoism.

It also inherits some Taoist thoughts, Taoist meditation is the pursuit of unconscious awareness, that is, to feel nothing but to feel everything, and then control everything, which is why all kinds of spells in Chinese mythology and stories are called Taoism or Taoism.

And those who often seek immortality also seek to learn from Taoism.

Finally, I am very grateful that you are talking about Taoism and not Taoism, because Taoism is a philosophical system that is very close to religious nature, first of all, it is philosophy, which is what I am thankful for.

One of the most extreme pursuits of freedom is immortality.

Ordinary people, birth, old age, sickness and death are the general laws of life. Then immortality and physical strength break the four most fundamental constraints. Do you think it's free enough?

1. Lao Tzu's idea of political autonomy and freedom is centered on "natural non-action".

2. Zhuangzi's free-spirited free thought - centered on "travel".

Let's talk about what liberalism and Taoism have in common.

Knowledge: Advocating the nature of heaven, we should know more about the way of heaven, and further Taoism advocates the way of nature!

The Tao is the law of the Tao.

We must know the just-unearthed "Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor": the opening of the scriptures is the "Tao Shengfa".

So, what is nature?

Some people say it's inaction, some say it's going with the flow, some say it's the law of naturalism, some say it's the foolish people regress, and so on.

Some are seeking the road, some are hearsay, and some are harboring evil intentions and creating contradictions.

On the one hand, Taoism cannot be one-sided, mechanical, rigid, static, and immovable.

It is the "life" of "life", the "life" of the dragon and the tiger, and the "life" of the vitality of the "life".

It is by no means a backwater and a lack of vitality as some people say, but a pioneer and practitioner of vitality and vitality.

So, what is nature?

When we understand the Lao, Zhuang, Wen, Guan, and Taoist sons, you will know:

What is the natural one? What is it if it is not liberalism?

Taoist virtue is the nature of human beings, Zhuangzi believes that people can only be happy if they fully develop their virtues, and all legal and moral societies suppress human nature, so they advocate non-action, which is similar to liberalism from the result, but the reasons are different, liberalism emphasizes that the natural human rights that natural people should enjoy should not be violated, so it opposes excessive social systems.

Not really.

Liberalism is a kind of egotism derived from capitalist society.

Taoist thought, respect the Tao without doing anything.

Similarities: It's all four words. Ha ha!

Liberalism is unreasonable. Taoism has Tao and virtue.

As long as there is a belief in a specific "god", it is not a religion of spiritual freedom.

Taoism focuses on the dual cultivation of life, cultivating oneself, and finally reaching the realm of the yang god, which is free and free.

Buddhism, in fact, is a god that no one specifically believes in, and the teachings of Buddhism are also self-cultivation, and they are Buddhas, and they are at ease. Burning incense, reciting sutras and worshipping the Buddha is just to cultivate one's mind through deeds.

Otherwise, I don't know of any other religion that cultivates itself rather than believing in a specific "god." As long as you cultivate yourself, you are free.

The Taoist thought of Tanque carries in short, and the difficulty of the year is four words: Taoism and nature.

The starting point of Taoist philosophy is no longer human beings, but the universe as one.

Taoist "non-action" does not mean passively doing nothing, but doing it as it is.

As for the modern significance, only examples can be given:

For example, the market economy conforms to the original appearance of value circulation, and not intervening too much is a kind of "inaction".
