"Tao can be Tao, but it is extraordinary; Name can be named, unusual name "----means that what can be said is not eternal truth; The name that can be called out is not an eternal name. The truth of China people can only be understood but not expressed in words. This attitude is not conducive to the development of science.

"Knowing enough is not humiliating, knowing enough is not dangerous", "The greatest disaster is not being satisfied, and the greatest blame is getting what you want" —————————————— The development of modern science and technology comes from people's insatiable spirit of exploration and creation. If, like a small peasant society, you are satisfied with "three points of land, one cow, one wife and one child", and the enterprising spirit is gone, then

"happy ever after, you can't keep it; Rich and arrogant, self-blame. When you are successful, you will retire, and it is the way of heaven. "A good man hides deep in Ruo Xu, and a gentleman looks foolish when he is virtuous." In a society ruled by men, human rights and personal property rights are not protected, and disasters come unexpectedly. Therefore, the wise men advise the world to hide their talents and retire when they are successful.

"The husband is the only one who can't compete with him, so the world can't compete with him"-on the one hand, it shows the Chinese people's non-competitive psychology, on the other hand, it shows the Chinese people's cunning strategy without fighting for small profits.

"The mysterious is the mysterious, the door to all wonders" ––––––––– China's knowledge is mostly "metaphysics", not science.

"Know the male and keep the female; Know its white, keep its black; Know its honor, keep its shame "----This sentence means: know the male side, but keep the female side; Know the glorious side, but be content with the dark side; Know the glory side, but I would rather keep the humiliation side. China people are too resourceful.

"a gentleman is thick, not thin; In fact, it is not in China. "--------The rule of society by man is doomed to complicated interpersonal relationships and profound knowledge of self-cultivation.

"I have three treasures, which I hold and protect. One is kindness, the other is frugality, and the third is that I dare not be the first in the world" ––––––––––––––––– It is understandable that people rule the society without any guarantee, and in order to protect themselves, they are not the first in the world; But in modern civilized society, China people should have the courage to be the first in the world.

"People who know me hope, then we are expensive, which means that a sage is given a brown jade" ————————————— What Lao Tzu means is that there are too few people who know me, and it is even harder to meet people who can imitate me. Therefore, saints are often dressed in coarse clothes, but with beautiful jade, and goods cannot be known. Indeed, few people can understand Laozi's idea of governing by doing nothing, especially the idea of governing by doing nothing, which is close to liberalism and market economy, is only the basis of the policy of resting with the people after the tyranny of rulers.

"to defeat their sharpness, to resolve their disputes, to be in harmony with their light, and to be in harmony with their dust" ———————————— It means to defeat their spirit, to get rid of disputes, to gather brilliance, and to mix up the customs. China society, which is in a daze, will obliterate and dispel people's vitality, personality, water chestnut and creativity.

"Governing the country with wisdom is a thief of the country; China people are a little clever, so the rulers try their best to torment the people. How can they abandon their personal intelligence and play the role of the rule of law and the market?

"if you want to go to the people, you must say it; If you want to be the ancestors, you must be the ones behind you "————————— It means that if you want to rule the people, you must first express your modesty to the people with words; To lead the people, we must put our own interests after those of the people. It can be seen that feudal rulers are always using the people and deceiving them.

"Where the teacher is, there are thorns; After the great army, there will be a bad year. "--------China is a country of war, with thousands of miles of corpses and rivers of blood, which has become the necessity of the rise of every dynasty and every succession struggle. For thousands of years, the people of China have not figured out how to make the regime transition smoothly, which is our intellectual defect.

"A soldier's ominous weapon is not a gentleman's weapon, so it's necessary to use it, and it's best to be calm" ———————————————————— China has always been the most important military power, and "political power comes from the barrel of a gun" rather than "political power comes from the ballot box". With a gun, the ruler should consciously refrain from killing indiscriminately and be indifferent, because there is no legal constraint.

"I do nothing and the people are self-reliant, I am quiet and the people are self-righteous, I have nothing to do and the people are rich, and I have no desire and the people are simple" ————————————————————— This idea is similar to the market economy, but few people can understand it. Rulers in past dynasties only know about disturbing the people and expanding their selfish desires. How can the people be rich and simple?

"Do something before it happens, treat it before it happens"-China people have the ability to nip in the bud in trivial matters, but they don't have such wisdom in preventing political infringement and corruption and protecting their human rights.

"governing a big country means cooking a little fresh food" ––––––––– which means that the principle of governing a big country is as quiet as that of frying a small fish, and cannot be tossed around. Some people in the "Cultural Revolution" said that the world was in chaos, and the more chaotic it was, the better. It was strange.

"Misfortune depends on fortune, fortune lies on misfortune"------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth (beginning); Fame is the mother of all things. Some people say that "namelessness" is a potential substance before BIGBANG, and "fame" is a primitive substance, which formed everything after the Big Bang. China genius revealed the theory of cosmogenesis. However, China's knowledge is primitive, vague and embryonic, and has not developed for thousands of years.

"The whole world knows that beauty is beauty, but it is evil; Everyone knows that good is good, but it is not good. (Everyone in the world knows how to be beautiful, which is a bad thing; Everyone in the world knows how to be good, which is a bad thing.)------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It's the sage who does nothing and teaches without words" (therefore, the sage should do things with inaction as the main point, and educate the people with silence as the criterion) ——————————————————— It's not right that inaction becomes the absolute criterion. The new law of humanities: modern society should be both inaction (market economy) and promising (rule of law).

"If you are born without something, you will not rely on it, but you will live in prosperity if you succeed. The husband only lives in the house, so he doesn't go "(he has raised everything, but he doesn't live for himself; I have done things, but I am not proud of my merits; You're done, but you don't sit back and enjoy yourself; Just because you don't take credit, you won't lose your credit.) —————————————— Retirement after success is the way for China people to preserve their health. Explain how dangerous and unpredictable it is for people to rule society.

"No Shang Xian, so that the people do not dispute; Expensive and rare goods, so that people do not steal; If you can't see what you want, the people's hearts will not be chaotic "(don't push people with talents, lest the people compete; If you don't value rare goods, no one will steal them; If people don't see things that can arouse their desires, the people's hearts will not be disturbed. The way for Lao Tzu to eliminate disputes is not to make rules and guide, but to eliminate people's desires and return to the era of ignorance.

"It is the rule of saints, which makes people ignorant and have no desire, and weakens their will and strengthens their bones." (Therefore, when saints govern the country, they should simplify people's minds, fill people's stomachs, weaken people's ambition and strengthen people's bones, so that people will never have knowledge and no desire.)-This theory of ignorance of the people is in Confucius and Confucius.

"If you do nothing, there will be no death" (if you do things according to the principle of inaction, there will be no failure) –––––––––––––––– If you do nothing, your subjects will do something, so there will be no death. Lao Tzu is really a clever and secretive man!

"Heaven and earth are heartless, taking everything as a straw dog; Saints are unkind and take the people as pigs "(Heaven and earth don't attach importance to benevolence and righteousness, leaving everything to fend for itself; Sages don't pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, leaving the people to fend for themselves.) In modern society, it is necessary to respect people's freedom rights, safeguard people's interests and establish a social security system, instead of letting the people fend for themselves.

"It is the sage who comes first after his body, and exists outside his body. Not because of its selfless evil? Therefore, it can become its private "(so, the sage is not the first in the world, but can take the lead; If you put your life aside, you can survive. Isn't it because he showed selflessness? On the contrary, it can achieve its selfish desires)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No wonder people often say that China people and westerners do things one-on-one, and the other side is definitely not our opponent.

"Live in a good place, have a good heart, be kind, keep your word, be good at good governance, be good at things, and move when you are good" (living in a good place, having a deep heart, making friends, showing kindness, convincing language, governing by doing nothing, using tricks, and acting by waiting)-China's learning is all strategy.

"Five colors are blinding, five tones are deaf, five flavors are refreshing, galloping and hunting are maddening, and rare goods are harmful" (colorful colors make people see things in a blur; Beautiful music makes people addicted and confused; Abundant food makes the population anorexia; Galloping hunting drives people crazy; Scarce goods make people behave badly)-------------Lao Tzu asked to abandon civilization and return to the original, and at the same time he was moving towards chaos and ignorance.

"If you are surprised by being humiliated, … it's precious to be the world, if you can send it to the world; Love to be the world, if you can trust the world "(flattered and humiliated, … only those who value their bodies more than the world can take on the heavy responsibility of governing the world;" Only those who love themselves more than those who love the world can be entrusted to the world.)------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Inaction also reflects the ease of the small-scale peasant economy in southern Chu.

"The good in ancient times is subtle and profound, but it is beyond knowledge" (The people with high ideological level in ancient times are subtle and profound, so deep that no one can polish them)------------------unfathomable, which is a commendatory term in China, but a derogatory term in the west.

"when you know the truth, you will know the truth. I don't know often, act rashly, and be fierce. "(Knowing the law is called wisdom. If you don't know the law, you will be fierce if you take it lightly. The so-called "regularity" is the "Tao", which means you want to take it first, you want to open it up, and you want to reach the right. I am deeply familiar with it.

"If you are above, you will know it from below, then you will be respected by your relatives, then you will be afraid of it, and then you will be insulted" (the most enlightened rule, the people only know it exists; Second-class brilliant rule, the people like and praise it; Slightly poor rule, the people fear it; The worst rule, the people curse it)-------here it means that the most enlightened rule is the rule of Taoism by doing nothing, the second is the education and courtesy of Confucianism, and the worse and worst is the tyranny of Legalism. It is a pity that the rulers of past dynasties used the technique of Legalism the most, followed by Confucianism and Taoism the least.

"The avenue is abandoned, and there is benevolence and righteousness; Wisdom comes out, and there is a big falsehood. (When the truth on earth is abandoned, there will be benevolence and morality; When people's wisdom is turned on, evil comes into being) Benevolence and morality are the products of troubled times, and evil is the product of wisdom. Although this statement is reasonable, modern civilization still needs morality and wisdom, but what it needs is independent morality and human morality, which is great wisdom in governing the country, not feudal morality and small wisdom of intrigue.

"Abandon wisdom from the sacred, and the people will benefit a hundred times; Desperate to abandon righteousness, the people are filial; Never give up profits, thieves have nothing "(abandoning wisdom and wisdom is beneficial to the people without harm;" Abandoning benevolence and morality, people's natural feelings can return; Only by abandoning technical institutions and material interests can thieves be extinct.) —————————————— The people are in a daze, and the rulers are ignorant of themselves, so China is backward.

"Be simple, be indifferent to selfish desires" (showing simplicity, clinging to simplicity, reducing selfishness and getting rid of desires) ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

"Never worry about learning" (if you don't study, you won't be sad) –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

"I'm unique" (I'm the only one who refuses to be the same as the world) ––––––––––––––––––––– How few people in China have personalities like Lao Zi!

"I don't see myself, so I know; It is not self-evident, so it is obvious; If you don't cut yourself, you have merit; Not self-satisfied, so long "(not only with their own eyes, so observant; Not self-righteous, so it is clear; Don't brag about yourself, so you have no merits; Don't be conceited, so you become the leader of the people. What I'm talking about here is also the way to protect yourself. China's wisdom is the wisdom of survival. There is no western wisdom in exploring nature.

"It's natural to talk" (it's natural to talk less) –––––––––––– Confucius also said, "What are the words in heaven?" "A gentleman is slow in words but quick in deeds". Because in China, it is a common practice since ancient times to be punished for what you say and make trouble for what you say.

"Man follows the earth, the earth follows the heaven, the heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows the nature" (man follows the earth as the law, the earth follows the sky as the law, the heaven follows the Tao as the law, and the Tao follows the nature as the law) ———————————————————————————————————————————— China people take conforming to nature as the highest law, while westerners take conquering nature as the highest law, and the two can complement each other.

"Good deeds leave no trace, and good words leave no trace" (good at walking; Good at talking, beyond reproach)---------China people's great wisdom.

"The world is an artifact, so you can't do it. For those who fail, those who hold it lose "(the world is mysterious and cannot be done against reason." Contrary to reason, it will inevitably confuse the world. The more persistent you are, the more you will lose it.)------------------------------------------------------------------------ China's thoughts are mainly dialectical thoughts of Yin and Yang.

"He who helps others with Tao does not rule the world with soldiers. It's a good thing; Where the teacher is, thorns are born; After the army, there will be a fierce year. (Those who help the monarch with the right path on earth do not try to be brave in the world with the army. Fighting will soon produce bad results; Wherever the army went, there were thorns; After the war, there will be famine years) China's war is extremely cruel, and it is entirely for political power, so it wantonly destroys the economy and the environment and wantonly kills and plunders people's lives and property.

"Good is only fruitful, and we dare not take advantage of it. Don't be proud of the fruit, don't cut it, don't be arrogant, have to, and don't be strong. Strong things make you old "(forget it as long as you achieve your goal well, don't try to be brave with soldiers." Don't be conceited when you reach your goal, don't boast when you reach your goal, don't be proud when you reach your goal, but think it's a necessity when you reach your goal, and don't be brave when you reach your goal. When things grow stronger, they will inevitably go into decline.) Lao Tzu saw the truth that when things are strong, they will grow old, and when things are extremely strong, they will turn against each other. Therefore, he advocated fruit instead of strength, but how many warlords can do it in reality?

"winning is not beautiful, and the beautiful one is happy to kill people. If you are a murderer, you can't succeed in the world. "(If you win, don't flatter yourself. I think I'm great, and I take killing as my pleasure. People who take killing as their pleasure can't succeed in the world.) The real problem in China is that people who enjoy killing, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, can succeed in the world.

"He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise; The winner is strong, and the winner is strong "(those who know others have wisdom, and those who know themselves have insight;" He who conquers others has strength, and he who conquers himself is strong.) There are too few rulers who have self-knowledge, so Qin Shihuang, Emperor Yangdi, Wu Zetian and Zhu Yuanzhang all rule the world by trying to be brave, and the defeat is set.

"Close the desire (close it).
