The book that must be read in life Chapter 22 of the Tao Te Ching is complete

This chapter expounds the way of life, focusing on self-cultivation. One yin and one yang is the Tao. Taoist thought can be born and entered the world, with both "ontology" and "application", and the two cannot be paranoid at one end.

This chapter is also relatively easy to understand and does not have so many hidden meanings. The text of this chapter lies in the fact that "the husband is not fighting, and the world cannot fight with it". Lao Tzu's "indisputability" here is not to make passive concessions or do nothing, but to do it properly, low-key and realistic.

For example, the first sentence "the song is complete, and the vain is straight", which means that in the case of conditions not permitting, in order to complete the goal or protect yourself, even if you are a little wronged, give in softly, take a step back and open the sky, and leave the green mountains without fear of no firewood.

The sentences behind Lao Tzu should all be compared, and further comparisons are attached, and the basic meaning is the same. It is to tell us not to be competitive in life and work, people need to have the ability to judge the situation and stand the grievances, low-key and modest style, so that the auspicious can retreat into advance, and no one can defeat you.

At the same time, this is also a simple dialectic that embodies Lao Tzu's habitual simplicity, the extreme of things must be reversed, and things must be transformed in the opposite direction when they reach an extreme. Tell us how to behave.

Kawagami Gong: If you follow the crowd and don't make a splash, you will be all your body. In vain, in vain.

Bend yourself and stretch others, and you will be upright for a long time. Under the depression, the water flows; People are humble, and virtue returns. Since suffering from the shortcomings, after their ancestors, the world respects them, and they have been renew for a long time.

Since the less you take, the more you take, the way of heaven is humble, and the gods are vain. Those who have more wealth are confused by what they keep, and those who have learned more are confused by what they hear.

Hug and keep also. formula, law also. The saint keeps one, but he knows all things, so he can be the law of the world.

The saint does not look thousands of miles away with his eyes, but because he sees with the eyes of the world, he can understand it. The saint is not self-righteous and not human, so he can manifest himself in the world. Felling, taking also.

The saint is moralized and popular, and does not take its own beauty, so it is meritorious to the world. Gentle, big also. The saint is not noble, so he can not be in danger for a long time.

This is said to be virtuous and unscrupulous in the world, and incompetent and incompetent to fight for the indisputable. Spread the ancient saying, Qu Cong is the whole body, this statement is not false. Honest, honest. Those who can do the music will be able to do their bodies, and they will return to their parents, and there will be no harm.

Original text: The big gang is indecent, the world's friends, and the world's friends. Heng wins the peony with quietness, and takes silence as the bottom.

Therefore, if the large state is below the small state, the small state is taken; If the small state is below the large state, the big state is taken. Therefore, it is necessary to take it from the bottom, or take it from the bottom. The big state just wants to be a beast, and the small state just wants to be a person.

The husband and the two have their own desires, and the big one should be the next.

Translation: To govern a very large country, we must be like the rivers and seas to be in a lowly place, to occupy the position of feminine and feminine in the world, so that all the rivers and rivers of the world converge here. The female and soft can defeat the male with quiet and tranquility, because it can both brake with static and settle down.

Therefore, if a large country can be humble and humble to a small country, it will inevitably be able to gain the trust and dependence of a small country; If a small country can be humble and humble to a large country, it can also win the trust and support of the big country. Therefore, whether it is a big country that uses humility and humility to gain the trust of a small country, or a small country that uses humility and humility to gain the trust of a big country, the big country is nothing more than trying to annex a small country, and a small hungry country is nothing more than a young country seeking from a big country. In this way, both large and small countries can achieve their own aspirations.

In particular, big countries should be humble and humble.

Perception: In this chapter, Lao Tzu proposes that as a large country, when dealing with other small countries, it should hold the attitude of friendship, that is, to be quiet and subordinate, and the inner truth is the "use of the weak way" mentioned above

This chapter of the Tao Te Ching best embodies the idea of Taoism and nature. Lao Tzu was always able to elevate the way of nature to the world and the way of all things, and grasped this core program, and the entire "Tao Te Ching" is easier to understand.

1. Original text. Hope is natural. Therefore, the wind does not end, and the rain does not end, which is this?

World. Heaven and earth can't last long, but what about people? Therefore, those who are engaged in the Tao are the same as those who are in the Tao; Those who are virtuous are the same as those who are virtuous; Those who lose are also lost.

Those who are the same as the Tao will also be happy with the Tao; Those who are the same as virtue, virtue is also happy; The same as the loser, the loss is also happy. Belief is not enough, there is unbelief!

2. Layered appreciation.

1) The first layer: Hope for nature. Therefore, the wind does not end, and the rain does not end, which is this?

World. Heaven and earth can't last long, but what about people? This layer means:

Rare and honorable remarks are always natural. The wind didn't blow all morning, and the rain didn't rain all day. Who made it like this?

World. The fury of heaven and earth cannot last long, let alone man? The enlightenment of this sentence to us is that we should treat things with a normal heart and not be in a hurry.

Because the behavior of expiration is often not long-lasting, and this is the case with all things in heaven and earth. At the same time, we must also treat the excesses of the outside world with a normal heart, not to treat excesses with excesses, and to aim for the ultimate victory.

2) The first layer: Therefore, those who are engaged in the Tao are the same as those who are engaged in the Tao; Those who are virtuous are the same as those who are virtuous; Those who lose are also lost. Those who are the same as the Tao will also be happy with the Tao; Those who are the same as virtue, virtue is also happy; The same as the loser, the loss is also happy.

Belief is not enough, there is unbelief! The meaning of this layer can be understood in this way: Therefore, those who are engaged in the Tao are the same as the Tao, those who are engaged in virtue are the same as virtue, and those who are engaged in loss are the same as those who are lost.

He who is with the Word, the Word is pleased to receive him; Virtue is also happy to get him who is the same as virtue; The same person who loses, and the loss is also happy to accompany the shirt to get him. If the integrity of the ruler is insufficient, there will be people who do not trust. This meaning is not easy to understand on the surface, but it is easy to understand in other words:

What qualities a person has inside, he will sense what results are external, people with Tao sense Tao, people with virtue sense virtue, and people with mistakes often sense mistakes. In other words, a person should give full play to his subjective initiative, start from himself to find the reason, "do what he can't do, but seek his own", do not find the objective cause of failure, and give full play to the subjective initiative to seek victory in the outside world. Don't make excuses for failure, find ways to succeed.

For example, if a person is not trusted by others, it is often because of his lack of credit. If you want others to trust him, then you must use your actions to build credit, so that others can see it, and over time, credit is established, and others will trust him. From this point of view, this sentence also corresponds to the previous words one by one.

For example, in the establishment of credit, we should not rush to achieve results, nor should we expose ourselves to the cold, but we should respect the objective law, take it slowly, step by step, and achieve success naturally.
