Deepening theory can cover the principles and laws of the universe and life. The so-called "Tao" in the universe is called natural law, and the so-called "Tao" in life is called ethical law.

Portrait of Zhou Dunyi

"Writing carries Tao" is an artistic proposition put forward by Zhou Dunyi, an ancient prose writer in the Song Dynasty. He said in "Zhou Zitong's Books and Essays": "The text also contains the road, and the axle is decorated with people and painted. Is the situation empty? Language, art also; Morality and reality. Beauty is love, and love is communication. Saints can learn and come to it to teach. So,' if you don't keep your word, it won't be far.' However, those who are unwise. Although my father and brother were present, the teacher always encouraged them not to learn; Strong, not obedient. Those who don't know business ethics and take words as their ability are just art. The "Tao" mentioned here refers to the traditional Confucian ethics. Zhou Dunyi believes that the purpose of writing articles is to publicize the Confucian principles of benevolence, righteousness, morality and ethics and serve the political enlightenment of feudal rule; The first criterion for evaluating an article is whether its content is benign or not. If it is only beautiful in words without moral content, such an article will not be widely circulated.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Pi put forward in Dian Lun Wen: "Wen carries Tao". In fact, the idea of "writing carries Tao" appeared as early as Xunzi in the Warring States Period. Xunzi put forward the requirement of "taking Ming Dow as the text" in his articles such as revealing the cave, Confucianism and correcting the name. Later, Han Yu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, put forward the theory of "consistency of literature and Taoism". Li Han, his disciple, said in Preface to Mr. Changli: "A writer is also a tool that is in harmony with Taoism." .

Usage [Back to Directory] The ancients' "thinking of literature" and "taking Tao as literature" are actually what we now call "taking Tao as literature". What is the "Tao" that literature carries the Tao? In fact, from Xunzi's "thinking of literature" to the present "taking Tao as literature", the connotation and extension of Tao have changed with time or people. The explanation of "Tao" in this paper is not Tao, nor the mysterious "Tao" in Laozi's Tao Te Ching, but the meaning of morality, morality, justice and ethics. In the words of modern people, it is human conscience and social responsibility.

Influence [Back to Directory] Ancient writers in China advocated the teaching of poetry in an attempt to use literature as a powerful tool to promote enlightenment. "Wen" is the means, "Tao" is the purpose, and "Wen" serves its "Tao". This tradition, manifested as "writing carries the Tao" or "writing is consistent with the Tao", has not only become the common criterion of historical prose, but also become the basic spirit of the whole ancient literature.
