If an enterprise does not stand up, it will not work if it crosses over, if it sees itself unknown, it will not show itself, if it cuts itself, it will be futile, if it boasts itself, it will not last long, and it will be in the Tao. As the saying goes, food is superfluous, and things are evil, so there is no place for those who have a way.

Penguin's pace, orangutan's drunken dance starts from

chapter 22 and ends in chapter 25. It is repeatedly stated that Tao is natural and should not be artificially created. Therefore, when it is applied to everything, it must also follow the natural laws of heaven and earth and achieve success. This chapter connects the connotation of the previous two chapters, and then puts forward the disproof as a positive warning. Therefore, from the beginning, it is said that "the enterprise does not stand". What do you mean, "the enterprise is not established"? Let's see that we have many companies now, named enterprise companies. What is "enterprise"? Kick your toes up and keep moving forward. It's called "enterprise". How long can you stand on your toes like this? In fact, it is difficult to stand for a long time, and people who have practiced kung fu only stand for a short time. Usually, people rarely stand with their feet, perhaps because they are short, in order to compare with others, or because they occasionally look from afar, they kick their feet. However, it won't last long. This is the truth that "the enterprise does not stand". "No crossing" means striding and walking, which can only be done temporarily and accidentally, but not permanently. If you want to deliberately stride your own pace to go a long way, it's the way to bring trouble to yourself. If you don't believe me, try striding one or two miles to see. Striding, striding is not far. Therefore, Lao Tzu used the phenomenon of these two life actions to show that some people are ambitious, which is the biggest mistake they have made. "Enterprise" means high, and "striding forward" means aiming too far. If you don't do the simplest and most basic things well, you must aim for the lofty things, either asking for trouble or willing to destroy yourself. From the explanation of these two principles, we can understand the truth of "those who see themselves are unknown, those who are not self-evident, those who cut themselves are useless, and those who admire themselves are not long". "Self-observation", "self-nature", "self-criticism" and "self-conceit" are common diseases of human beings, and most people's psychology has these fundamental pathological conditions. For example, when we often go to a famous restaurant for banquets, and this famous chef who can cook comes out to meet the distinguished guests during our meals, we will compliment him a few words or propose a toast to him to show that his cooking is really brilliant, otherwise, he will be very disappointed and "suddenly lose his couple"! If you say that your food is the best in the world, then it is common sense that although he is still wearing a face of soot and tired to death, the taste in his heart is very comfortable. Therefore, Lao Tzu has repeatedly stated here that if a person has a heart disease of "self-perception", "naturalness", "self-criticism" and "self-conceit", he must be able to reflect and know how to correct himself. But in terms of truth and law, these psychological behaviors are "excess food and excess behavior." "Leftover food" is unnecessary to eat. It means that a person is full of food, and he can't swallow another bite, but he still has to eat another big loaf of bread, which will make him have stomach trouble, even go to see a doctor or have an operation! Redundancy, a tumor, equals goiter, and the neck will grow thick. Our normal body, in any part, grows a tumor, which is of course unnecessary. Like when we cross our hands, five fingers are enough. Some people grow six fingers, which is called "redundant fingers". One more finger is troublesome, and gloves need to be made separately. "Things or evil", everything has a natural shape, and its variants are abnormal. Even if a plant grows an extra attachment excessively, it will not only increase its own burden, but also be annoying. How much more an ordinary person! If you are already very clever, you are very clever, so why do you have to be added that you are too clever? Whether you are clever or not, others will see clearly slowly. If you call me clever every day, what's the use except advertising? Therefore, a man who has a way is never like this, and there is absolutely no such psychological behavior, which is considered to be in line with the way. Fu Jian, where the whip is cut off, but the so-called "Youdao is nowhere" and "Youdao is" refers to the mountain monks who are afraid to enter the mountain and avoid the world for fear of not far away. Of course, this is not the case. The so-called "Tao" of Laozi is not absolutely born like Buddhism, nor is it inevitable to join the WTO like Confucianism. It is somewhere in between, and it can be born or entered the WTO. In other words, the body is useful, the Tao is metaphysically natural, but the Tao is used between everything and everyday life. Therefore, his Tao, just as Confucius' protege once participated in the book "University", said "from the son of heaven to Shu Ren", can't leave this Tao. Therefore, what Laozi said before and after knowing the four noes-no self-observation, no self-nature, no self-criticism, no self-conceit-is the same as that of Buddhism-I, people, all beings and those who live long; In terms of use, it is also the same as Confucius' four commandments-no meaning, no necessity, no solidity, no me, just right. Therefore, it is not only limited to personal self-cultivation, but also the moral index of monks. At the same time, it is also the most important adherence and basic cultivation of the so-called imperial philosophy. Now, we will cite two examples in ancient and modern history casually to show that anyone who wants to make great contributions and build a great cause will never fail completely as long as he violates these four principles. The first example is the story of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was called the era of chaos in China by the Five Hus and Sixteen Countries, and the story of the King of Qin. Fu Jian, as his monarch, Yao Sheng, became king on his own. Just as Emperor Mu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima, touched the first year of Shengping (AD 357), he used the famous person in opposition, Wang Meng, who usually talks about what's going on in the world, as a politician. However, between 13 and 14 years, Yan Yun was destroyed in the north and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was threatened in the south, which was of great momentum. In a few years, Wang Meng fell ill and was going to die (Wang Meng was in power for only 16 or 17 years). Fu Jian not only prayed for him, but also personally visited his deathbed. Wang Meng said to him: "A good author doesn't have to be good (success doesn't have to be in my mind), and a good start doesn't have to end well (that is, the meaning of Kun Gua in the Book of Changes is that nothing ends). The ancient sages and kings, knowing that their achievements are hard-won, are afraid, as if they were in a deep valley. Fu Wei, your majesty, is very lucky to track down the former sage. " He also said: "Although Jin is isolated in the south of the Yangtze River, it is the same as the new generation, and it is peaceful from top to bottom. After I die, I hope I don't take Jin as my plan (tell him not to go south to plot the Eastern Jin easily). Xianbei and Xiqiang, my enemies, are ultimately great disasters, and they should be gradually eliminated to secure the country. " After Wang Meng's death, Fu Jian mourned three times. Moreover, he said to his son (Prince Fu Hong), "God doesn't want to make me even? How to seize the speed of my scenery (Wang Mengzi). " Before 78, Fu Jian, regardless of Wang Meng's will, wanted to send millions of people south to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. When he gathered senior officials to hold a military meeting, Zuo Servant Shoots (who is quite a supplementary position) Quan Yi held a different opinion and said, "Although Jin is weak, there is no great evil. Xie An and Huan Chong are both great men in the river, and the monarch and the minister are harmonious, which is impossible." Yue Shi, the prince's left-back guard (equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the guards), said, "Jinsui Town (the year of astronomical astrology, the town star) is guarding the bucket (from the 12th degree in Nandou to the 7th degree in Xunvxing, which belongs to the astrology, and is at the dividing point in wuyue). Ford is in Wu (ancient abstract astronomy, which thinks that the country is blessed when it is too old), and there will be disasters in its place. Moreover, according to the danger of the Yangtze River, the people use it, and it is almost impossible to cut it. " Fu Jian insisted on his own opinion, saying, "Heaven is far away, and it is not easy to know. With my people, I will throw a whip at the river and stop its flow. What is the risk?" This is Fu Jian's greatest self-criticism and self-pride. At the meeting, the civil servants and military commanders had both positive and negative opinions on their interests, but they could never make a decision. Fu Jian said, "This so-called building a room by the road can be done at any time. I should break my heart! " At that time, there was no one, like Wang Meng, who taught him to seek the advice of improving the internal affairs and establishing the highest cultural politics to consolidate the foundation! After the meeting, Fu Rong, the prince's Yang Pinggong, was specially left to discuss. Fu Rong said: "There are three difficulties in cutting Jin today, and it is not smooth in the Tao, and the state of Jin has no troubles. I am tired of fighting, and the people are afraid of the enemy. All the ministers who say that Jin can't be cut are loyal ministers. May your majesty listen. " Fu Jian listened to his advice and said seriously, "You are the same, what can I expect?". When Fu Rong heard that he insisted on seeing himself and being natural, the more he felt that something was wrong, he cried and said, "Jin can't be destroyed, it is very clear. And I am worried about more than that. Your majesty dotes on Xianbei and Qiang Jie, and it is full of Zaidian. The prince was alone and weak, and stayed in the capital. I'm afraid of changing my elbow armpit, and I can't regret it. I am stupid and sincere. Wang Jing was a hero for a while, and your majesty tasted Zhuge Wuhou, but he didn't remember what he said when he was near? " Fu Jian still wouldn't listen to him. When he returned to the harem, his favorite concubine, Mrs. Zhang, also struggled to persuade him to send troops to invade the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Hangjian said, "It is not a woman's job to plan for the army." In other words, military matters are not for you women to participate in opinions. His favorite youngest son, Mi Mi, also came to remonstrate. Fu Jian reprimanded him and said: "The world is a big event, and the boy knows it." In other words, as a child, you don't know anything about the affairs of the country. Unable to stop Xing Jian's subjective prejudice, everyone came to his most trusted monk, Master Daoan, and asked him to try to dissuade him. Daoan's gentle persuasion was unsuccessful. There was nothing that Prince Fu Hong could do, so he had to remonstrate with the celestial phenomena again and said, "I am now in Wufen. Jin Jun is not guilty again. If you are not successful in a big way, you will be afraid of losing your reputation and exhausting your financial resources! " Fu Jian still wouldn't listen. He turned to his son and said, "In the past, I killed Yan, but I was quick at the age of six. Qin destroyed the six countries, is it all tyrannical? " In this way, only one person was watching coldly, waiting for the moment, and Mu Rongchui, a Yan man, took the opportunity to say to Fu Jian alone, "It is enough for your majesty to break away from his sacred heart! Jin Wu (Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty) leveled Wu, but Zhang Du was only two or three giants. If you follow the crowd, is there any merit in mixing one? " This is exactly what Fu Jian wants, so he said with great joy, "He who decides the world with me is only Qing." Who knows that less than a month later, Fu Jian, the king of Qin, went south with more than 6, cavalry, and was defeated by Shuiping in World War I, which was even more tragic than Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi. Mu Rongchui not only can't * * the world with him, but also takes the opportunity to please and sneak back to Hebei, which not only revives Houyan, but also contributes to the rapid downfall of Hangjian. When we read history and see the past experience in history, we can understand how important and valuable the ancient sages' famous sayings and theories are. For example, the violent rise and death of a firm, which contradicts the four commandments mentioned by Laozi, is invincible. Although Jiang Jian has lofty words, the so-called "throwing a whip is enough to cut off the flow." In fact, it was he who threw the whip to cut off the flow of public opinion, thus making a big mistake and a special mistake. Therefore, Lao Tzu said that "there is no place for those who have a way", and it is precisely for this reason that he has repeatedly stated solemnly. The second example of how deep the mountain spring is around the house is also known in modern history. After the success of the national revolution, Dr. Sun Yat-sen "pushed the country" and Yuan Shikai became the first president of the Republic of China. As a result, he possessed himself and insisted on becoming an emperor, changing his name to "Hong Xian". Less than a year later, Yuan Datou was ruined and died, leaving only a joke of a century-old sin. As we all know, Yuan Shikai's personal history, in dealing with people, has always committed Lao Tzu's four noes-self-observation, naturalness, self-criticism, and self-conceit, which were originally inadequate. There are two sentences in A Dream of Red Mansions, which can be used as the general comment of his life: "It is against the discipline of teachers and friends to be ungrateful to parents." Yuan's two sons, the older Keding, both turned their feet and were determined to be a prince, following the throne and urging them to do their best. Kevin, the second child, was a literary genius and a celebrity. At that time, people were more Cao Cao than Yuan Shikai and Cao Zhi than Yuan Kewen, the second child. I really appreciate his two poems against his father, Yuan, becoming emperor. They are good, profound and sensible, and full of feelings of learning from Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi. Unexpectedly, in the early years of the Republic of China, there were poets like Yuan Kewen, so it was not easy. Yuan Kewen was a student of Mr. Xu Dishan, a senior. Because he opposed his father being emperor, he wrote two poems that were extremely in line with the four commandments of Lao Zi. It is said that Yuan, who provoked him, cursed Xu Dishan and his gang and taught his son badly. Therefore, he put his second child under house arrest. Now let's talk about the benefits of Yuan Kewen's two poems. At first glance, Wu Mianqiang won the victory, and the ancient platform was barren and the tomb was built. Bo Fei is too fluid to live, and Yun Qi's magic cliff is full of dreams. I smell the flute in the distant forest, and turn the light in the spirit room alone. It's windy and rainy in the high places, so don't go to the top floor of Qionglou. Just start with two sentences, "At first glance, Wu Mian is strong and wins, and the ancient platform is barren and the mausoleum depends on it." Wu Mian refers to the autumn clothes made of silk cotton from Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south. Self-defeating means that in the cool autumn weather, I put on a coat made of southern silk cotton and just felt a little warmer, which is barely much better! This is a metaphor for his father, Yuan Shikai, who relied on the success of the southern revolution and just had a little autumn glory, so they lived in the imperial city of Beijing. However, the Beijing Palace, which was successfully built by the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, has a vague scenery and personnel. Where have the emperors gone? Therefore, if you come here to visit the victory, you will have a sigh of occupying Taiwan. After reading these historical traces, why should people take the vanity of floating world so important! "'wave flying too liquid heart without living, Yun Qi magic cliff dream. "Huachi is too liquid, which is the cool water in the immortal realm of Taoism. Practitioners also call it Huachi Shenshui, which can cure diseases and prolong life. Yuan Kewen, however, used it to compare a person's quiet mind, and suddenly he had a big delusion of greed, just like the water in the Huachi, which made the quiet heart never stable. Then it is said that if a person is tempted and thinks together, it will be like clouds and fog, blinding the soul and not knowing it. Once you are possessed, your dreams will be reversed, your heart will be higher than the sky, and you will soar to the upper world and become immortal. "I occasionally smell the flute in the distant forest, and I turn the light in the spirit room alone." This refers to the actual scene of the current situation. His father and brother only wanted to be emperors, but they didn't know that there were many public opinions and public grievances. However, the poet's brushwork is often "subordinate to the word than the thing", which has a far-reaching sustenance, and obviously shows the subtle beauty of poetry and literature. Therefore, when he is still in the garden of the ancient platform, he will be sad and uncomfortable when he hears the distant whining flute. So go back to your own room, turn a bright lamp and get rid of your troubles. Ming chamber and spirit lamp are sometimes used by Taoism and Buddhism to compare the conscience of a little bit of clarity in the ventricle. But the beauty of his use of words in this sentence lies in a turning word. "Turn a bright light" is to hope that his father and brother will wake up. If you want to calm down the public grievances, it is better to really reflect from your own heart and "put aside evil and keep right". "The drama pities the wind and rain in the high places, so don't go to the top floor of Qionglou." Finally, the change quoted Su Dongpo's famous sentence: "Qiong Lou Yu Yu, the height is too cold." Advise his father to be contented and never want to be emperor. Yuan Shikai was shocked when he read his son's poem, and immediately put him under house arrest, which is the most headache and unbearable thing for him to read. Another song: the west wind in the yard is sunny, and the grievances are not clear. The lonely geese cover the cold moon in the south, and the arrogant nine cities in the east. The colt gap is going to stay for a moment, and the sound of eggs blows the dream to the night. The mountain spring knows the depth around the house, and it feels uneven to read the waves. The first two sentences, "The west wind in the small courtyard is sunny, and the grievances are not clear." Concentrated, at the beginning of the founding of the Republic of China at that time, although Yuan Shikai became the first president, there were many discussions among all parties, and there was no return to the world. Therefore, there is a straightforward saying that "the grievances are not clear." The so-called Xiang yat sen villa means that his father is the oldest and has worked hard all his life. He didn't achieve this achievement until his later years, so he should cherish it and never mess around again. "The lonely geese in the south cover the cold moon, and the arrogant nine cities in the east." The lonely goose in the south is a metaphor for the influence of the Kuomintang in the south. Although it is not in power, the justice lies in its struggle and flying alone, which is enough to cover up the light of the cold moon. Going east to arrogance refers to the Japanese at that time.
