This article comes from Laozi's Tao Te Ching in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Extended data writing background:
From the Tao Te Ching, "generosity is endless, and great achievements are avoided." The Tao Te Ching unearthed in Mawangdui says that great merits are exempted. Elephants are invisible. " This is an aesthetic concept in China's ancient literary theory put forward by Laozi, which is intended to promote natural beauty rather than artificial beauty.
Laozi believes that music can be divided into two categories: one is the natural joy of inaction; One kind is secular and unnatural music. The natural joy of doing nothing is the joy of Tao, which conforms to the characteristics of Tao and is the basis of all man-made pleasures. It is ubiquitous and unacceptable. It is the most beautiful, silent and the highest realm of music. Although artificial music is good to listen to, the beauty of this kind of music with sound is secular and temporary, and it will be "deaf" and should not be advocated.
According to the literature, Lao Tzu is quiet, studious and knowledgeable. In the process of teaching knowledge by his teacher, Shang Rong, Laozi always gets to the bottom of the matter and is very eager for knowledge. In order to solve doubts, he often looks up at the sun, moon and stars and thinks about what the sky is, so that he often can't sleep.
Later, Mr. Shang Rong "really learned everything from the old lady." Recommend Laozi to study in Zhoudu. The literature records: "When I went to see a doctor in Zhou, I went to imperial academy, and I learned all about astronomy, geography and human feelings. When I read all my poems, I could easily experience rituals and music, and I learned all my cultural relics, laws and history books, and I made great progress in my studies.
The doctor also recommended him to be an official in the Tibetan room. The sutra depository is a collection of ancient books in the Zhou Dynasty, which is full of articles and books from all over the world. "Through this experience, Lao Tzu has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and made him famous.
About the author:
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.
In 55 1 year BC (twenty-one years, Duke Xiang of Lu twenty-two years), Lao Zi entered the Zhou royal family and served as the treasurer (the official in charge of books collection). Before I was recommended to work in Zhoushi, I studied with Manager Chang (Shang Rong).
In 535 BC (the tenth year of King Jing of Zhou and the seventh year of Duke Zhao of Lu), Lao Zi was removed from his post as a treasurer and sent to Lu. In Lu Guoxiang Party, he presided over a friend's funeral, and Confucius helped with the funeral. At that time, Kong Qiu 17 years old asked Lao Dan for a gift. In 530 BC (Zhou Jingwang 15 years, Lu Zhaogong 12 years), Lao Zi was recalled by Gan Pinggong, and he still kept the history of Tibetan room.
In 526 BC (King Jing of Zhou 19, Duke Zhao of Lu 16), 26-year-old Confucius visited Laozi for sightseeing in Zhou. In 5 16 BC (Thursday, the 26th year of Lu), Lao Zi was taken to Chu State because he was in charge of the Scriptures, and he was relieved of his post as a historian and returned to his hometown to live. After going to Qin, the exact age is unknown. In 50 1 year BC (in the 19th year of Zhou and 9th year of Lu), Confucius, who was 5 1 year old, went south to ask him for knowledge.
