Let nature take its course and govern by doing nothing is what Laozi said. This sentence comes from the Tao Te Ching, which is the Taoist concept of governing the country. Governing by doing nothing is Lao Tzu's warning to the king not to argue with the people.

Lao Tzu, surnamed Li Minger, was called Bo Yang, or Shu Bo Yang. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the year of birth and death is unknown, and it was born in the county (ancient county name) of Chen (who later entered Chu) at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period in 57 BC/KLOC-0 BC. China was an ancient thinker, philosopher, writer and historian, the founder and main representative of Taoist school.

Laozi is a world cultural celebrity, one of the world's 100 historical celebrities, and is also called Laozi and Zhuangzi with Zhuangzi. In Taoism, Laozi is regarded as the ancestor of Taoism and called "the old gentleman on the throne". In the Tang Dynasty, Laozi was regarded as the ancestor of Li.

Laozi's thought has a far-reaching influence on the development of China's philosophy, and its ideological core is simple dialectics. Politically, Laozi advocates the rule of inaction and the teaching of words. Politically, Lao Tzu pays attention to the truth that extremes meet. In terms of self-cultivation, Laozi is the ancestor of Taoist double cultivation, paying attention to modest and upright practice and not competing with others.

Laozi's masterpiece Tao Te Ching (also known as Laozi) is one of the most widely circulated works in the world.

In Laozi's Tao Te Ching, the thought of inaction has become a core, which runs through the whole Tao Te Ching. Governing by doing nothing means treating people and things and every part of our lives with a natural and natural attitude.

Part of what Laozi said about governing by doing nothing is aimed at a management core of that leader, and what we understand is that these states of governing by doing nothing can be used to treat people and lead employees as a standard of conduct to guide themselves.

In fact, what Laozi has always advocated is to govern by doing nothing. The real connotation of inaction is not inaction, but this realm. A state of letting nature take its course, so how do we understand the word "governing by doing nothing"?

Laozi said that the avenue is silent, and only by following the inaction of the avenue can we really be inaction, not inaction. What we can understand is to do things naturally.
