Chapter 33 of Tao Te Ching
People who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise; The winner is strong, and the winner is strong; Those who are satisfied are rich, and those who are forced are ambitious; He who does not lose his place for a long time, dies without dying.
Translation:
Being able to understand and know others is called wisdom, and being able to know and know yourself is smart. Being able to overcome others is powerful, and being able to restrain one's own weaknesses is strong. He who knows satisfaction is rich. Perseverance and unremitting efforts are aspirations. People who do not lose their duty can last for a long time, and those who die and "Tao" still exist are truly longevity.
The text of Tao Te Ching takes the philosophical meaning of "morality" as the key line, and discusses the ways of self-cultivation, governing the country, using troops and keeping in good health, but mostly takes politics as the purpose. It is the so-called "sage inside and king outside" and is known as the king of all classics with profound meaning and extensive inclusion.
Tao Te Ching is one of the greatest masterpieces in China's history, which has a profound influence on traditional philosophy, science, politics and religion. According to the statistics of UNESCO, the Tao Te Ching is a cultural masterpiece that has been translated into foreign languages and published the most besides the Bible.
Extended information:
"He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise." It means: If a person can clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of others, and can ignore the length of his own nature, he can be regarded as a wise man.
For example, in the historical story "The Three Kingdoms", the character Liu Bei is a person who knows people and knows himself. Liu Bei, why did he visit the cottage and hire Zhuge Liang as his strategist? It is Liu Bei's act of "knowing people and knowing himself".
Liu Bei knows that he doesn't have the ability to arrange troops, and he doesn't have Zhuge Liang's talent of "learning from heaven and earth", but he knows that if he wants to achieve great things, he must be helped by wise people. He knows how to "know people and be good at their duties" and "be open-minded and open-minded", which makes many heroes and sages in the "Three Kingdoms" world be used by him and helps him win three points of the world.

Famous quotes about self-knowledge People who know themselves are wise.
—— Fu Forgotten by Han Yu, a writer in Tang Dynasty; Fu Forgotten by Tang Yu. The general idea of this sentence is: He who knows himself fully is a wise man.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Lao Tzu said, "He who knows himself is clear, and he will be stronger than himself", from which Han Yu's sentence came. People often can't understand themselves correctly, and it is easy to exaggerate their own advantages and strengths, so that they are blindly complacent and complacent; If we can see more of our own shortcomings and deficiencies, we can always be vigilant and modest.
This sentence was cited as "self-knowledge" by later generations; With this "self-knowledge", we can foster strengths and avoid weaknesses and make achievements in our career. He who knows himself is English, and he who wins himself is male.
—— The famous saying of self-knowledge in Zhong Shuo Zhou Gong Pian by Wang Tong, a scholar in Sui Dynasty. Choose two sentences to the effect that those who have self-knowledge are handsome heroes, and those who can overcome themselves and surpass themselves are strong.
People should have a correct attitude towards themselves and know their strengths and weaknesses, so that they can develop their strengths and avoid their weaknesses in their actions and be invincible. Similarly, people should also overcome themselves, surpass themselves and sublimate their feelings to a new level. Such people can naturally create greater achievements.
It's harder to know oneself, but it's even harder to win by oneself, because many people know their own shortcomings, but they can't overcome them (such as people who are addicted to alcohol, tobacco and women, people who are obsessed with power and wealth). These two sentences can show that people should be self-aware and have the determination to surpass themselves.
Only in this way can we improve our moral cultivation. He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise.
-also known as Lao Dan and Li Er, the great philosophers and thinkers in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the founder of Taoist school in ancient China, Laozi, Chapter 33 of Chunqiu Lao Dan's Laozi. The general idea of these two sentences is: a person who is good at identifying people can be described as wisdom; People who are good at knowing themselves can be described as knowledgeable.
As the saying goes, "Knowing people knows their faces but not their hearts", so it is difficult to know people, and those who can know people are very clever. It's even more difficult to know your own strengths and weaknesses, so it's important for you to know yourself. These two sentences point out in concise language that it is difficult to know others, and it is even more difficult to know oneself; Only those who can know others and themselves can be called wise.
it emphasizes that people should have self-knowledge and be good at learning from others' strengths and making up for their shortcomings. It's hard to know people, but it's not easy to know honesty.
—— Tang Dynasty historian Wu Jing's Zhenguan dignitaries selecting officials. See Tang Wu Jing's Zhenguan dignitaries selecting officials. Know: understand.
sincerity; Indeed. It is difficult to know others, and it is really not easy to know yourself.
it is difficult to know others, and it is also difficult to know yourself. Too much is caused by the complexity of people and the subjective one-sidedness of people.
Therefore, those who know others are smart, while those who know themselves are wise. These two sentences can warn people not only to know others, but also to know themselves.
you can't see it from your own eyes. -Liu An, the king of Huainan, the royal family of the Western Han Dynasty, said Lin Xun in Huainan Zi and Han Liu An said Lin Xun in Huainan Zi.
canthus. The eyes can see things a hundred paces away, but they can't see the corners of their own eyes.
Everything has a certain scope and a certain limit. As far as the eyes are concerned, its function is not complete, and it can be seen far away but not near the corner of the eye; As far as a person is concerned, he is easy to observe others but not easy to know himself.
I don't know that the body is rootless, and it covers the moon and stars for all ends. -Tang Guo Zhen's "Cloud" is a famous saying of self-knowledge. Tang Guo Zhen's "Cloud".
work: affectation. Wanduan: Various forms.
The main idea of these two sentences is: thick clouds are rolling in the air, unaware that they are rootless; Make all kinds of shapes to hide the stars and the bright moon. Thick clouds cover the moon and the stars, which is what people are used to seeing. However, the poet can come up with fantastic ideas about this ordinary scenery and express it in anthropomorphic ways, which is quite mysterious and reveals a feeling of hatred between the lines.
It can be used to describe the billowing thick clouds, and it can also be used as a metaphor to satirize people who do whatever they want without knowing it. There is no omnipotent person in the world, and people are self-aware.
—— The Collected Works of Tao Fen by Zou Taofen, a China journalist, political commentator and publisher. Those who know themselves don't complain, while those who know know life don't complain. He who complains about others is poor, and he who complains about heaven has no ambition. -Xun Kuang, Xunzi's Honor and Disgrace by the thinker at the end of the Warring States Period, and Xunzi's Honor and Disgrace by Xun Kuang in the Warring States Period.
poverty: embarrassment. The main idea of these sentences is: people who can understand themselves and have self-knowledge never blame others; People who know their own destiny and future never complain about heaven; People who complain about others are often embarrassed; People who complain about heaven often have no ambition.
These words show that people should not "complain about others". In order not to complain about others, we must have self-knowledge, be able to understand ourselves and overcome ourselves; At the same time, I can assess the situation and understand the big environment, weather and climate.
If you can't do this, you will often encounter various problems in your work. After the problems appear, you will complain about others, which will not help solve the problems. You can only increase negative emotions and low aspirations, thus creating new and more similar problems. It can be used to persuade young people to be self-aware and not to blame others.
if you want to win, you must win first; if you want to talk about people, you must talk about yourself; if you want to know people, you must know yourself first. It is better to fail than not to know it.
—— Lv Buwei, a businessman and politician at the end of the Warring States Period, wrote The Spring and Autumn Annals of Lu. If you want to defeat others, you must first defeat yourself. If you want to argue with others, you must first convince yourself. If you want to know others, you must first know yourself. Interpretation of "it is easy to break the thief in the mountain, but difficult to break the thief in the heart" means that it is easy to defeat others and overcome your own difficulties.
however, how can we win people if we don't win ourselves, how can we talk about people if we don't talk about ourselves and how can we know people if we don't know ourselves? To be strong in difficulties and obstacles, to be incorruptible before the temptation of power and money, and to be successful in business, we must be self-controlled, self-victorious and self-reliant! People are self-aware; Only after self-knowledge can we do what we can and put our strength to the most effective use. -Taiwan Province romance novel writer Xi Juan "Water Love Moon" The most valuable thing for a person is to know how much he weighs. Why don't you try standing on the big scale? That weight doesn't move.
—— Ni Ping, the host, actor and writer, knows himself well in "Grandma's Quotations". I strictly abide by a beautiful rule in my daily life: "People are expensive and know themselves well". I always use this to push myself.
-French painter Angel's On Art, who can always rely on fate? A person chasing after a busy world is often destroyed without being alert. People always have self-knowledge. 3. Seek a self-knowledge poem
Self-knowledge means that you can know yourself and know yourself.
Some people may say, "I am myself. How can I say that I don't know or understand myself?" Actually, it is not. Some people can understand others, the environment, society and even the world, but they just don't know themselves very well. It is very difficult to be self-aware.
The world is so vast that few people can really know themselves, but many people can't. Otherwise, why are there exhortations such as "people are expensive and self-aware" at all times and in all countries? There is no foresight in this world, and people are self-aware. Things are dark and colorful, and there are many fine things in life. Don't play with the world's human feelings. You should help others when you are in full swing. You should be calm, be content, and be satisfied. In real life, some people can talk clearly and do things, but they are often helpless and unable to do so. Some people, with lofty aspirations, can really give him room to display, but they are often disappointing and regrettable.
Some people are arrogant and arrogant; Some people are complacent and do not make progress; Some people are blinded by profit and get carried away; ..... Most of them don't know their own depth and geometry, and they lack the self-knowledge that a person should have. Obviously, it is self-deception, and it is also very high. 4. Gu Yan's famous sentence about self-knowledge
1. Chapter 33 of Laozi: "He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise."
2. Everything is done in Han Fei Zi: "Chu Zhuangwang wants to attack Yue, but Zhuangzi remonstrates:' What will the king do if he attacks Yue?' Saying,' the government is chaotic and the soldiers are weak.' Zhuangzi said,' I am so wise that I can see beyond a hundred paces, but I can't see myself.
Wang zhibing was defeated by Qin and Jin, and lost hundreds of miles. This soldier is weak. Chu Biao is a thief in China, but officials can't ban it, and this political chaos is also.
The king's weakness and chaos are not under the king of Yue, but he wants to conquer Yue, and this wisdom is as good as his eyes. " Wang Naizhi.
it's difficult to know an old friend, not to see others, but to see yourself. Therefore, it is said:' It is clear when you see it yourself.

Honor and Disgrace 4: China has a classic saying: "People are expensive and self-aware." That's all I know, please refer to it. If you have any questions, please ask.
