Famous sayings about the world in Tao Te Ching
Hello, first of all, I would like to ask what version of the Tao Te Ching you are reading.

This sentence should be "as expensive as the world, if you can send it to the world; Love is the world, if it can support it. "

Friendly reminder, it is best to buy the version of Zhonghua Book Company, the correct rate is slightly higher.

Sometimes, for classical Chinese, the deviation of understanding may be thousands of miles because of the difference between a function word and a real word.

In addition, this sentence comes from the thirteenth chapter of Tao Te Ching.

[Original]

If you are shocked by humiliation, you are in big trouble. What is being humiliated and surprised? Spoiled, you will be surprised when you get it, and you will be surprised when you lose it and lose face. What does it mean to be in danger? I have a big patient because I have a body and I don't have a body. What is wrong with me? Therefore, you are the world, if you can send it to the world; Love is the world, if it can support it.

The whole sentence can be translated freely like this:

Being loved and insulted is frightening, because honor and disgrace are as precious as one's own life. What do you mean by being humiliated? Being loved is humble, being loved is particularly surprising, and losing is amazing. This is called being spoiled and humiliated. What does it mean to treat some problems as noble as your own life? The reason why I have great troubles is because I have a body; If I have no body, what can I worry about? Therefore, imagine yourself as this big world (not just the flesh), then the world can be pinned on him; Cherish the world with the feelings of cherishing your own life, and then the world can be entrusted to him.

It is not that "people who attach importance to doing things for the world with their bodies can temporarily deposit their bodies in the world." Only those who cherish doing things for the world with their bodies can truly entrust themselves to the world. "But on the other hand, only those who can do this can entrust their genius to him. What Laozi preaches here is "great love and fraternity". We have personal troubles, because we are confined to individuals. This is not right. We should "love the world as ourselves", then the world can be entrusted to us.

"For the world, if you can send the world; "Love is the world, if you can trust the world" is a sentence in my favorite Tao Te Ching, which preaches the concept of great love and world outlook. It sounds magnificent and thought-provoking. Being virtuous means doing nothing without losing virtue and doing nothing. All my inaction is for the greatest success. Just as military strategists carry forward Taoist thought, they derive "Yin, but Yang". It's never passive.
