Brief Introduction and Creation Background of Tao Te Ching
1, Introduction
Tao Te Ching is a philosophical work written by Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period, also known as the moral truth, with 5,000 words and 5,000 articles by Laozi. It is a work of China before the separation of the pre-Qin philosophers in ancient times, and it is an important source of Taoist philosophy.
Tao Te Ching is divided into two parts. The first part of the original text is the Tao Te Ching, and the second part is the Tao Te Ching, without chapters. Later, it was changed to the Tao Te Ching in the first 37 chapters, and the Tao Te Ching in the last 38 chapters, divided into 8 1 chapters.
2. Creative background
Laozi was a learned man in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He once worked in the Tibetan Classics Pavilion in the Zhou Dynasty, and he collected a large number of ancient books and accumulated rich knowledge. Laozi has an in-depth study of astronomy, geography and human relations. He is so persistent in his pursuit of knowledge that he often looks up at the sun, moon and stars and thinks about things in the sky, so that he often loses sleep.
At that time, the society was in turmoil, and Lao Tzu witnessed the sufferings of the people. As a Tibetan official in the Zhou Dynasty, he put forward a series of ideas on governing the country and protecting the people. Yin played a great role in the compilation of Tao Te Ching. When Yin was young, he loved astronomy and reading ancient books, and he had a profound accomplishment.
I was moved by Yin, and based on my own life experience, the success or failure of the dynasty and the safety of the people, I wrote two books with five thousand words, namely Tao Te Ching.
