Most words are poor, and it is better to keep the center. "。The meaning of emptiness and inner meaning here is still different from that of the golden mean.
The middle of the golden mean refers to the way of life that is impartial and harmonious in analysis, and its basic theory is divided into three meanings; It is not easy to be impartial and mediocre, which means not to deviate from this life goal; Righteousness and peace, do not have great joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but maintain a reverent heart, which can ensure integrity, peace, and good health; The medium is good, the mediocre is useful, people must have a skill, to be a useful person, but also to seek his own government in his position. The theoretical basis of the golden mean is the unity of nature and man, and the code of action is prudence and independence. The exact representation of the golden mean is"Just right", exquisitely"Suitable", so with"Most words are poor, and it is better to keep the center. "Try to care as little as possible, no matter what, the difference is still relatively large.

If you are poor in words, it is better to keep the middle" is from Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", the original text is as follows: Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. Between heaven and earth, is it still like a slurrel?
Void but unyielding, moving and getting more and more. It is better to keep the middle than to talk too much. Lao Tzu believes that there is no so-called benevolence in heaven and earth, and that God treats all things like dogs, and there is no difference; The saints also have no such mercy, and the saints treat the people like dogs, leaving them to fend for themselves.
This heaven and earth is like a smelting bellows, it is empty but never exhausted, and the more it stirs up the wind, the more it will be. Sometimes if you talk too much, the words will not reach the meaning, and the expression will be incorrect, so it is better to stop in moderation.

It should be said that humanity imitates the way of heaven, and the Confucian way of humanity comes from the Taoist way of nature. "The Mean" is one of the "Book of Rites", and the golden mean is a Confucian saying; "It is better to keep the middle than to say too much" comes from the Tao Te Ching, which is a Taoist saying. In the view of Chinese ideology and culture, people, families, countries, and the world are all isomorphic, but the scale of the structure is different.
Therefore, you can govern your body with the Tao, you can govern the family with the Tao, you can govern the country with the Tao, and you can also govern the world with the same Tao. This is the principle of "it is better to keep the middle than to talk too much".

Too many words are poor, it is better to keep the middle" from Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", the book "The Mean" is written by Confucius's grandson Zisi, Zisi was born at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, the period when the Warring States Seven Heroes began to compete for hegemony, Zisi was a student of Zengzi. Lao Tzu is not teaching people not to speak, but to say what they should say, to do what they should do, not to talk too much, that is, in moderation. The golden mean must achieve the realm of neutrality, discuss the relationship between personal nature, emotion and moral cultivation, advocate impartiality in handling things, and conform to the "Tao", educate people to start from the self, consciously improve self-cultivation, self-improvement, cultivate a personality that conforms to morality and ethics, and let the world reach the realm of peace and unity, which is "harmonious society" in today's words.

More words are poor, it is better to keep the middle" is Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" in the words, the mean, and Lao Tzu is not as good as keeping the middle, although the meaning is different in extension, but the deep connotation is the same. This is not Lao Tzu's inadvertent proof of the golden mean. Rather, it is because the cultural source of Laozi's Taoism and Confucianism is the same.
Their philosophical foundation comes from "Zhou Yi", and Zhou Yi's thought is that Tai Chi gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four images, and four images give birth to gossip. And then sixty hexagrams. The 64 hexagrams symbolize everything in the world.
The Tai Chi is the One, that is, the Tao, and the Tao is the center of everything, which is called Zhong.

Lao Tzu's thought directly denies the interference of the rulers on the people, revealing that disturbing the lives of the people under the banner of benevolence is the root cause of the chaos in the world that violates the way of heaven. For the time of Lao Tzu, the root cause of the great chaos in the world is not very clear, and there is no unanimous view, this thought of Lao Tzu sharply pointed out that the rulers artificially interfered in the lives of the people, so that they had to go against their own natural state, which was against the way of heaven, and therefore inevitably led to the great chaos in the world. Confucius's golden mean emphasizes self-denial and retribution, so as to conform to the way of heaven and achieve the great rule of the world.
His logic is that the ancient sages followed the system of benevolence and etiquette, and the world was ruled by the great rulers, but now the rulers lack benevolence and the etiquette is bad and happy, and the world is chaotic.

Each has its own reasoning, and "Old Child" preached. More words: refers to thinking more than the original action and giving more orders.
Poor numbers: It means that the act of thinking is a drain on the mind. Neutral:
It means that people should keep the Three Jewels, serve nature, and maintain a good state of mind and tolerant and just thinking.

If you overdo anything, you won't achieve the best results, and if you do it, it's like not doing it, so the ancients said that it was too much. In philosophy, we have also learned that when the quantity of a thing changes to a certain point, a qualitative change will occur. Therefore, if you want to stabilize things, you have to control quantitative changes.
Our ancestors understood this principle when they did not understand this in Western countries, so they promoted the idea of "moderation".

There is no correlation between keeping the middle and the Confucian mean, and strong correlation with it is a manifestation of a lack of speculation. In any kind of theory, there can be no clear concepts and laws without logical thinking, and there is no solid foundation for this kind of scholarship without clear concepts and laws. Lao Tzu is a man, not a god, and the goal of his writings is also to reason and persuade, not to proclaim dogma.
Therefore, there is no essential difference between reading Lao Tzu and reading Plato and Aristotle.
-
The gun shoots the first bird, but the game always has to be divided into the first and second, the first is remembered, and the second is forgotten by many people. So the golden mean only applies under certain circumstances.
-
In fact, I think that this means that a person should understand and not expose his own things too much.
-
I think this sentence is actually a kind of publication of Lao Tzu, and there is still a certain gap with Confucius's thoughts, which is not what Lao Tzu wants to prove.
-
For such a thing is to say that there is a gap, and those who speak often do not necessarily have culture.
-
It is because Lao Tzu's Taoist thought is consistent with the cultural source of Confucianism.

Tao Te Ching Introduction:
Tao Te Ching, also known as the Tao Te Ching
Lao Tzu", "Five Thousand Words", "Lao Tzu Five Thousand Words", is a work in ancient China before the pre-Qin princes split their families, and was admired by all the sons at that time, and the legend is that it was Lao Tzu (that is, Li Er) in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Henan Luyi Huairen) is an important part of 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. It is the first complete philosophical work in Chinese history.
The Tao Te Ching was enshrined as a Taoist classic from 206 BC to 200 AD, so some scholars believe that the Tao Te Ching is divided into eighty-one chapters, which has an obvious Taoist idea of ninety-nine to one, which is far-fetched in the division of content.
However, the first three chapters of the Tao Te Ching preach in 17 chapters, and the last 40 chapters of He You's four chapters of morality, simply put, the Tao is the body, and the virtue is the use, and the two cannot be equated. to Wei Yuan of the Qing Dynasty.
For the first time, this convention was broken and the Tao Te Ching was divided into sixty-eight chapters, which relatively maintained the integrity of each chapter.

It is a Chinese word that means that people say a lot of words, which often puts them in trouble, so it is better to remain quiet and silent and keep the words in your heart. This sentence comes from Lao Tzu's moral scripture and frankness, heaven and earth are unkind, all things are dogs, saints are unkind, and people are dogs. Between heaven and earth, it is still unruly, empty but not sluggish, moving and coming out.
It is better to keep the middle than to talk too much.
It is better to keep the Chinese translation than to have more wordsThis sentence is to teach us that from the heart, we must cultivate the benevolence of sincerity, respect and modesty. Sincerity is sincerity, respect is respect. There is sincerity in the heart, and the words and deeds on the outside are respectful, respectful to people, things, and things.
If you can be humble, you will be able to live in harmony with others, which is benevolence.
With this kind of sincerity and humility, he will naturally be able to be sensitive to things and cautious in what he says. Without being taught, without deliberateness, he will naturally be cautious in his words. So this sentence is actually engaged in teaching us to cultivate benevolence.

Chapter 5 Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.
The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs.
Between heaven and earth, is it still like a slurrel?
Void but unyielding, moving and getting more and more.
It is better to keep the middle than to talk too much.
Understanding: In fact, there is no benevolence in heaven and earth, and all things are treated as dogs, and when all things are created, all things are treated as treasures and respected, nourished and irrigated. Maybe one day there will be a sudden flash flood that completely burns everything, floods everything, and so on, and the suitable ones survive, the unsuitable ones are eliminated, and even new ones are created when needed.
The saint has no preference or aversion to anyone. When employing people, the saint is actually like a dog, when employing people, he is caring and considerate of people, and if this person is broken, he will not take him seriously, eliminate him and replace him with a new person, or re-cultivate. The so-called "natural selection, survival of the fittest", "water can carry a boat, but also can capsize a boat", this is the truth.
Between heaven and earth, it is like a seemingly empty but never-ending big machine, the fire is small, and the bellows fire becomes vigorous. When there are fewer things and fewer people, the machine can create all things and people, and the cycle will be repeated to maintain stability.
If the bellows is pulled too fast, the fire will become stronger, which will cause the amount of dry firewood that can be burned to decrease at an accelerated rate. It is possible that halfway through the firing process, there will be no dry firewood to burn. So in order to complete the firing work, the bellows should not be pulled too fast, but moderately.
Therefore, when a saint manages the people, he should speak appropriately to stimulate their enthusiasm like pulling a bellows, otherwise he will talk too much and exhaust all his tricks, which will backfire, and he will be disgusted by the people and cause social turmoil. At the same time, it is also implicitly predicted: if human development is too fast, it will cause the depletion of resources, so that human beings will be destroyed by the earth before they develop and mature.
People usually have to look at everything and everyone reasonably, maintain moderation, and not favor one over the other. Even if there is a large loss of people, deaths, major setbacks, conflicts, etc., there is no need to be too loving or sad, everything will start again. When managing, it is necessary to promulgate a reasonable and appropriate amount of policy-making plans as the situation changes, and if you frequently issue plans for the sake of speed, you will soon feel that your skills are exhausted, and you will not be able to keep up with the ideas below, which will cause resentment and even worse.
Note: This chapter echoes Chapter 7, "Not Self-Generated". "Words are too many" echoes chapter 23, "Hope for Nature".
Note: Benevolence, the gentle, the benevolent is also "The Book of Rites: Confucianism". Dogs
A dog made of grass. In ancient times, it was used exclusively in the sacrificial service, and after the sacrifice was completed, it was thrown away or burned. Judah is like, hesitant and afraid.
Lugong: In ancient times, it was used as a combustion aid for furnace fire and air blasting - bag bag and air supply pipe, which were ancient bellows.
Emptiness, so that decay, emptiness, purity. Qu, dried, depleted.
Words, propositions, orders, words. number, count. Shou, duty.
Translation: Heaven and earth have no love, and treat all things as dogs.
The saints did not speak of charity, but treated the people as dogs.
Between heaven and earth, isn't it like a bellows?
Emptiness is not exhausted, and the more it is agitated, the more producing.
There are many tricks to talk about, so it's better to keep it moderate.

Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching Chapter 5.
Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. Between heaven and earth, is it still like a slurrel? Void but unyielding, moving and out. It is better to stay in the middle than to hear more and be poor.
Heaven and earth are merciful, they have no benevolence, they treat everything like a dog, and they are left to their own devices. The saints are also unkind, and they treat the people like dogs, leaving them to their own devices. Isn't heaven and earth like a bellows?
It is empty but not exhausted, and the more it stirs up the wind, the more it grows. The multiplicity of decrees is even more confusing and unworkable, so it is better to remain quiet.

I think Confucianism teaches us to be human beings and to be benevolent people, so that we can do our best and be of great help to the stability of this society. That's a strategy.
-
I disagree, Confucianism is actually the basis for deducing reality from the truth, and Confucianism is a broad and profound philosophy.
-
I don't think so, I think Confucianism is a very advanced science, and the development of Confucianism has a history of thousands of years.

Yes, there is this flaw! Therefore, we must not only study the "Four Books", but also "The Art of War"!
