Tao Te Ching 1500 words selection, writing ability needs to be cultivated through imitation. Walking in the world of books, books are a safe haven in the frenzied world, and the feelings after reading contain one's feelings. Next, I'll take you to see the 1500-word selection of Tao Te Ching.
After reading the Tao Te Ching, 1500 words 1, as a Tao Te Ching that fully embodies the charm of China's ancient naive dialectics, expounds the basic thoughts of Taoism on the origin of the universe, the basic mode of existence, the law of things' generation, development and change, society and outlook on life in a few words. Although most articles are almost poetic and somewhat obscure, it is not an exaggeration to describe them as "extensive and profound". My understanding of Tao Te Ching is mainly "doing nothing" and "respecting the law".
The first paragraph "Tao can be Tao, but extraordinary."
The name can be named. It's very famous. "It means that Tao, as the origin of the world, can be described in words, but it is not eternal." The name can be named. It's very famous. "It is a name that can be called, not a fixed name." The beginning of the nameless world, the mother of all things. "That is to say, when heaven and earth first appeared, there was no name, and when everything gradually appeared, it had its own name (but it was not eternal)." So there is always a desire to see its wonders, and there is always a desire to see its embarrassment. "It means that we often explore its mystery when we have no desire, and sometimes we also explore its mud ball." Both have the same name. "In other words, both being and being come from Tao, but with different names." The same mystery can also be regarded as abstruse and subtle, which is difficult to grasp. Mysterious and mysterious, the gate of Wan Qi. "I mean here, this mysterious and mysterious way is the door to all mysteries.
As the opening of the Tao Te Ching, this passage expounds in detail Laozi's understanding of the law. In Tao Te Ching, Tao refers to dharma. The most fundamental view of Taoist legal thought is that "law is natural, changeable and uncontrollable", and the fundamental attitude towards law is "fully respect the law and then apply it." This is a very simple dialectical thought. It fully embodies the ancient people in China's exploration and thinking of nature, which is not blind, but very planned and scientifically based. It not only has a profound influence on China's traditional cultural thought, but also goes far beyond the scope of China.
I have always believed that everything will go smoothly as long as I stick to the law, but if I break the law, I will be punished naturally. In Chapter 39, he elaborated: "The past is unique". In ancient times, people who acted in accordance with the law, "the sky is high and the clouds are light, the ground is flat, the gods are full, the valley is full, everything is animistic, and the princes are upright." This sentence follows the previous sentence and gives many examples to prove the benefits of respecting the law. God's respect for law can be clear, the earth's respect for law can be flat, God's respect for law can be flat, rivers can be full of respect for law, and all natural things can be endless, and princes and kings can win the world by respecting law. "Its cause" can be inferred. "When the sky is clear, there will be cracks; If there is no peace in the territory, it will be frightening; God has no spirit and will be afraid of rest; If the valley is not surplus, it will be exhausted; Everything is lifeless and will be destroyed; Marquis is not righteous and must be afraid. " It is said that if the weather is not clear, it may explode, if the earth is not peaceful, it may collapse, if God does not appear, it may disappear, if there is no water, rivers may dry up, everything may perish if it cannot grow, and kings may subvert if they cannot rule the world. "So, you are based on embarrassment, based on high and low." So wealth is based on poverty and inferiority, and nobility is based on inferiority. "Is it because the Marquis calls himself lonely, widowed and childless? Isn't this based on meanness?" This game is an example to illustrate the above sentence, which means that all princes claim to be lonely and widowed, not X. Isn't this based on meanness? Isn't it? "Therefore, the number of surplus is self-evident. The world doesn't want to be like jade or stone. "This is a summary of the above arguments and examples, saying that the highest honor is no honor, so don't ask yourself to be as beautiful as jade and as hard as stone.
It can be seen that Taoism, represented by the elderly, respects the law very much, which was very valuable in China thousands of years ago. Although this dialectics is not perfect, it is very scientific, which is very helpful to our present materialism and lays a very solid and broad foundation for the further study of materialism. Moreover, from this passage, we can also appreciate the old worship of inaction.
In reality and some literary works, we often see Taoist priests wandering around. They are illusory and arrogant. What we see from them is elegance, and what we feel is that kind of inaction.
The old man said, "No, Shang Xian, let the people do not dispute;" Expensive goods can live, so that the people are not thieves, invisible and desirable, so that the people are not chaotic. It is ruled by saints, hollowing out their hearts, strengthening their bellies, weakening their aspirations and strengthening their bones; Often people are ignorant and have no desire, so that people who know their husbands are afraid to do it. For inaction, no wisdom. " Therefore, the sage's way of governing the country is to make people humble, knowledgeable, weaken people's aspirations, enhance people's physique, and make people lack knowledge and desire. Therefore, it is not wrong for wise people to dare to make trouble and govern the world with a natural and inaction attitude.
There is an example of inaction in the seventh chapter of Tao Te Ching. "Forever and ever. The reason why heaven and earth are so long is that they can live forever because they are not born. It puts saints and bodies first; Living outside your body. Not because of its selfless evil? Therefore, it can be private. " It means that heaven and earth can last forever because they don't live for themselves, they exist naturally, so they can last forever. Therefore, the sage put himself behind, but he was respected. He put himself outside, but he saved himself. Isn't it because saints are not selfish? That's why he is himself.
Inaction is a kind of mentality, a kind of cultivation and dialectical. From the old point of view, advocating inaction to the society is helpful to the stability of the country. However, if we stand at the height of historical development, one-sided inaction will not help the progress of mankind. Therefore, for contemporary young people, to understand the ancient old theory of governing by doing nothing, we should treat it dialectically and treat it in two. "Good people follow it, and bad people change it."
In dealing with competition, we should dare to meet challenges, treat failure and inequality with a normal heart, and change or adapt with appropriate methods, instead of blindly killing the larger foe. This will help you save yourself and achieve ultimate success. Only accumulation will flourish. Similarly, "inaction" is used to tolerate people in contemporary life. "All rivers run into the sea, with great tolerance, towering walls and materialistic justice."
Tao Te Ching is an enlightening masterpiece of China's simple dialectics in ancient times, which opened the curtain for human beings to explore the laws of nature for thousands of years. It is of great benefit to guide our life to treat it dialectically, take its essence and discard its dross.
After reading the Tao Te Ching 1500, the master of Chinese studies once said: Mozi stands for truth, Laozi stands for truth, and Confucius stands for sincerity, which is the troika of China's humanistic spirit. One should be responsible for the earth; One should build wisdom in heaven; One should work hard to finish the work like a saint. A person should be as light as a Taoist fairy and integrate his life into everything. This is that God is in heaven and sacred to the earth, and this is the ideal personality state of China people. Every nation has a wise man, and Lao Tzu is such a wise man. Laozi: a thinker in the Spring and Autumn Period, a founder of Taoism and an old gentleman in mythology. It is said that Confucius and Laozi had a heated debate on "the rule of benevolence and righteousness" and "the rule of inaction", and almost all the scenes about Laozi and Confucius discussing Taoism were dominated by Laozi.

According to legend, when Lao Tzu traveled to Hangu Pass on a westward journey, he ordered Yin to see a purple floating pass, and he was greeted by him when he passed the customs. If he sees an old man riding a green cow with a fairy wind, Yin sees that the old man has a beard like snow, like a saint. So I left Laozi outside the customs and asked him to write an article before going west. I couldn't refuse, so I wrote the Tao Te Ching to warn future generations.
In Tao Te Ching, Tao refers to dharma. The most fundamental view of Taoist legal thought is that "law is natural, changeable and uncontrollable", and the fundamental attitude towards law is "fully respect the law and then apply it." This is a very simple dialectical thought, which embodies the ancient people's exploration and thinking about nature. This kind of exploration and thinking is not blind, but planned and well-founded, which has had a far-reaching impact on China's traditional cultural thought. Virtue, on the other hand, is "the power of Tao" and "the use of Tao", and it is a necessary world outlook, attitude towards life and a way to treat people. Pay attention to "saints are unintentional and take the people's hearts as the heart." I'm good at doing good things, I'm good at doing bad things, and I become very good. I believe those who believe, and I believe those who don't. "Morality is the human behavior that people recognize and transform things, which is understandable, acceptable and accessible to people.

The discussion about water in the book is a classic. Laozi respects water the most among all things in nature, and thinks that the virtue of water is the closest to the virtue of saints. The ideal "sage" is the embodiment of Tao. Among the five elements, water is the smallest and the last. Those who are good at living in the Tao are small and not doing it; After the crowd, Changde came first. Strive for indisputable things, be selfless and selfish. This is the most remarkable characteristic of water. Water nourishes everything but takes nothing away from everything, and is willing to stay in the lowest and wettest place. It is better to live in the evil of others than to compete for profits, and others have nothing to complain about. Water has its virtue comparable to that of a saint, and it can be called "Tao". But in the real society, everyone is striving for progress, and competition is inevitable. Where there is competition, there is struggle, and where there is struggle, there will naturally be bloodshed. Water is smarter than people, willing to be inferior, nourishing everything without taking credit, doing nothing and not doing it. "Kindness is like water" is a cheerful and optimistic attitude towards life. Xiu De's essential state, a fitness technique. If you have virtue in your heart, you will respect nature and life more and more, get closer to Tao and understand the ultimate philosophy of life more and more.
Water is yin to softness, so is Tao. Doing everything well without arguing, raising the world without asking for anything in return, is why "being kind, kind-hearted, kind-hearted, good-spoken, good-governance, good-doing, good-doing, good-doing, husband-only, so heaven is especially good." What we want to learn is the moral character like water-doing nothing and doing everything, arguing and doing everything. Be hated by all and respected by all. Therefore, the monk who first realized the way of inaction will be respected by people! Water is the softest thing. It is difficult for a horde to defeat a Qiaozui Zhang, and it is difficult for a sword to split into soft water. We know that water is soft, soft to the extreme! We can use swords, guns and shells to destroy some hard things, such as buildings and iron walls. But you can't split the water with a sword. So "the world is the softest and the world is the strongest". Water and Tao are invisible, but you are elusive and within reach. Surrounded by Tao, because Tao is "nothing". We should learn the softness of water. Only in this way, our road will be smoother and our life will be smoother.
Law and omission
Obey the rules and everything will be smooth. The thirty-ninth chapter of Tao Te Ching says: "Yesterday, the sky was clear, the earth was flat, the spirit of God, the benefit of the valley, the spirit of all things, and the meaning of princes." God's respect for law can be clear, the earth's respect for law can be flat, God's respect for law can be flat, rivers can be full of respect for law, and all natural things can be endless, and princes and kings can win the world by respecting law.
Inaction is a state of mind and a kind of cultivation. When dealing with competition, we should dare to meet challenges, and when dealing with failure and inequality, we should change or adapt in a normal way, which will help us save ourselves and achieve ultimate success. Similarly, "inaction" is used to tolerate people in contemporary life. "There are hundreds of rivers in the sea, and the tolerance is great. The wall stands a thousand miles, and there is no desire to be just." Laozi wrote this moral classic. The purpose of the upper moral classics is to explain the moral laws, while the lower moral classics mainly talk about the way of human feelings, with inaction running through it.
This book can be described as an extraordinary book with exquisite words, and the truth in it is naturally "mysterious and mysterious", so it makes people sigh. After all, this book is a variety of things, covering the dialectical methods of world outlook, outlook on life and values, including the wisdom of governing the country, philosophy of life, cultivation of human nature, military philosophy and health preservation. To express the meaning of variation, the first sentence of Tao Te Ching says that "Tao can be Tao, but extraordinary", and the Tao that can be said is not "constant"; Shows the law of "Yi". The so-called "Yi" method means that "the Tao says big, big is death, death is far, and far is opposite". The general meaning of this sentence is that everything is growing gradually, but the "strong man is old" will gradually decrease, so it returns to its original state.
After reading the Tao Te Ching, I feel 1500 words, 3. Misfortune is the place to rely on, and luck is the place where misfortune lies. "It means that misfortune is the premise of happiness, and happiness contains unfortunate factors. In other words, good and bad things can be transformed into each other. Under necessary conditions, happiness can become a curse, and a curse can also become a blessing. This famous saying of Laozi is very reasonable.
Laozi is China and one of the earliest philosophers with dialectical thoughts in the world. There has always been a debate about Laozi, his books and his "Tao Theory". According to the simple biography of Sima Qian in Historical Records, he was a famous thinker and founder of Taoist school in the Spring and Autumn Period. Lao Zi, surnamed Li Minger, was born in Qurenli, Li Xiang Town, Guxian County, Chu State (now Luyi County, Henan Province). "Laozi" is what people call him, "Lao" means that he has been highly valued in the years, and "Zi" is a good name for men in ancient times. His date of birth and death is unknown.
Laozi served as the "Stoku" of the Zhou Dynasty (equivalent to the curator of the National Library or the curator of the History Museum at the moment), so he is familiar with anecdotes and rituals, not only with rich historical knowledge, but also with extensive natural science knowledge.
In 520 BC, the Zhou royal family had a civil war for the throne. In April this year, King Zhou Jing passed away, and doctor Liu Yuxin Li Geng strongly mourned the king. Kill Wang. Jin people attacked and made him a king. The civil war lasted for five years. In 5 16 BC, Wang Zichao failed, swept the Zhou classics and fled to Chu. Some of my books have also been taken away. So, I was fired and went home. The change of the situation has changed Laozi's position, and great changes have taken place in his thoughts, from observing the ceremony to opposing the ceremony.
Due to the persecution of slave owners and nobles in power, Lao Tzu had to "hide his name" and run around. Then he went west to Qin. After Hangu Pass (now southwest of Lingbao County, Henan Province), Guan Ling Yin Xi understood that Lao Zi was leaving, so he hid and asked Lao Zi to leave a message. So Laozi wrote Laozi with 5000 words. According to legend, when I went through the customs, I rode a green Niu Piao.
Most of Laozi's thoughts are preserved in Laozi. Laozi consists of 8 1 chapters, divided into two parts, totaling more than 5,000 words. Because it talks about Tao and morality, people later called it Laozi's Tao Te Ching. The book "Laozi" that we are seeing at the moment is not the original work of Laozi, because it contains characters obtained by people during the Warring States period, but the main ideas in it belong to Laozi.
The book Laozi is short and difficult to understand, so there are many comments from later generations. The most popular ones are the notes of Taoist He Shanggong (whose name is unknown) in the Western Han Dynasty, the notes of Wang Bi, a philosopher of Wei in the Three Kingdoms, and the Original Meaning of Laozi by Wei Yuan in the Qing Dynasty. Below we will learn about Laozi's philosophy and political thoughts through the book Laozi.
Tao is the origin of all things in the world. Laozi is the first philosopher in our country who tries to explain the world from nature itself without resorting to the supernatural master-the will of Heaven Emperor. Before Laozi, people thought that everything in the universe was ruled by God, and the highest God was Heaven, the so-called Emperor of Heaven. This concept did not begin to change until the Spring and Autumn Period of great social change. Laozi was an early thinker who consciously and explicitly denied Heaven Emperor in philosophy. On the basis of Zhouyi, he further clarified that "Tao" is the origin of all things in the world. The central idea of Laozi's "Tao Theory" is: "Tao is nature, and nature is Tao". He said, "Tao" is the mother of all things: "Tao can be Tao, it is ten. The name can be named, ten. Nothing is the beginning of the world.
Yes, the mother of all things. "(Chapter 1) That is to say, as the origin of the universe, Tao exists forever. The operation of Tao is free and inevitable, that is, it operates according to its own laws. Everything in the world is produced by it, and it is the mother of the universe.
Laozi believes that Tao produces heaven and earth, and virtue is the expression of Tao. Heaven and earth nurture everything, and everything has its own shape and uses. Therefore, everything is virtuous and not respectful of Tao. The reverence of Tao and the preciousness of virtue are natural, not because of who gives it a title. Therefore, Tao produces heaven and earth, while virtue breeds, nurtures, matures and covers everything. He said: "Tao is born, morality is born, things are shaped, and devices are made."
It is based on the respect and virtue of all things. The respect of Tao, the preciousness of virtue and the nobility of husband and wife are often natural. Old-fashioned health, livestock morality, long-term education, pavilion poison, cover. "(Chapter 5 1) In this way, Lao Tzu attributed the root of natural creation to nature itself, thus eliminating all supernatural masters and the foundation of all religions and idealism. Therefore, Laozi's view of heaven and man had great progressive benefits at that time, overthrowing the religious emperor and denying the power of ghosts and gods. Of course, Lao Tzu's "Tao Theory" has just been liberated from traditional religion and has not completely shaken off the influence of religion; His natural determinism makes people obey nature completely and despises people's reaction to nature. Later, some philosophers developed it into the theory of destiny, which was very harmful.
