After reading many versions, I think it is more appropriate to find it from my discipline. I personally agree with this point of view. The so-called distinction between being born in the world and joining the world is a different attitude towards life. Those who transcend the world are pure and inactive, content with themselves, do not care about worldly things, do not participate in worldly disputes, smile faintly at fame and fortune, gains and losses, and are like floating clouds in the sky. Although they overlook all things, they are untainted and remain calm. Shang Ye. A person who joins the world cultivates his moral character, manages his family, and is proactive. He lives among people, struggles within property rights, and devotes all his energy to fame, fortune, gains and losses. He is like a tiger and leopard preying on him. Although his energy is as strong as a tiger's, he is scarred and healthy. For the best. Regarding the distinction between being out of the world and joining the world, our first impression is the difference between Taoism and Confucianism. In the impression of most Chinese people, Taoist people are immortal, arrogant, reclusive and world-weary, and do not eat the fireworks of the world; while Confucian people are gentlemen, well-educated people, manage their families and govern the country, and travel to all walks of life. These two impressions are not wrong, but are just a bit exaggerated, because the words recording their respective images are not from their own works, but are recorded by the other party's words and deeds. In this way, it is inevitable (should I say definitely) mixed with misunderstandings and even slander. . As long as we know this, what I want to say is, what do these philosophical systems that emerged more than 2,500 years ago and later became the two mainstream thoughts of our Chinese civilization reflect? In other words, which faction is the result of the current cultural orientation of the Chinese people? Have both! It should be said that the orientation of Chinese people's philosophy of life has formed a philosophical outlook that combines Confucianism and Taoism under the influence of forces in two directions. The first force is the pull of official philosophy. Since the Han Dynasty, China's official philosophy has been Confucianism. Although Taoist methods of rest and recuperation are often used to restore production in the decades after each dynasty change, if the country is to be strong, it is necessary to advocate positive and enterprising Confucianism. Only by promoting the development of production can the country become rich and the people strong. Therefore, we also see from here that the difference between Confucianism and Taoism is not determined by the doctrine itself, but by the needs of social development. This is why productivity determines production relations. The second force is the power of people's own choices. The emergence of Taoist philosophy is also the result of the times. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people's production and life were severely damaged by successive wars. At this time, the Taoist philosophy of wishing for peace and happiness was born. It represents the wishes of the general public and is also the potential requirement for people to pursue inner freedom and yearn for spiritual harmony. The feudal society of more than 2,000 years before the founding of the People's Republic of China should be said to be a history of war. Different ethnic groups entrenched in the land of China were engaged in ebb and flow wars, especially the ethnic wars on the borders. , even a dynasty with a prosperous country and strong people could not avoid large-scale military conquests. These long years of war will inevitably increase the burden on the people. Therefore, the existence of Taoist philosophy has been more widely circulated as folk philosophy. The distinction between being out of the world and joining the world mentioned at the beginning seems inappropriate to use Taoism and Confucianism as symbols. Yes, the great thing about Chinese philosophy is that it is very personified and ethical, which means it is very close to the people. Whether it is Taoist philosophy or Confucian philosophy, they are actually worldly philosophies, philosophies that run through the entire life, and are both philosophies based on life. However, in terms of value orientation, Taoism focuses more on cultivating one's moral character and governing by doing nothing, while Confucianism focuses more on lifelong progress and one's own responsibilities in the world. Especially in today's society, as a member of society, it is impossible for everyone to be completely born, because our social relations are closer and the social division of labor is more detailed. It is no longer possible to reproduce the life of a small country and a few people in the peach garden. Similarly, we cannot completely join the world. Although material conditions are an important indicator of a person's quality of life, we must not be obsessed with profit and use any means. Confucius also taught us that "a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way." The prerequisite for joining the world in Confucianism is to go through the three stages of investigation, self-knowledge, and self-cultivation. Therefore, when regulating the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world, one must also return to the soul. This is a perfect combination with Taoist philosophy.
