Everything is difficult, so it must be easy; Great things in the world must be done in detail.
1. Interpretation:
It comes from Laozi's Chapter 63 of the Tao Te Ching, which means that all the difficulties in the world develop from easy times, and all the major events in the world are formed step by step from small places. This sentence tells us to be down-to-earth, start from the easy places, gradually accumulate experience, and gradually achieve our goals.
at the same time, we should also pay attention to details, focus on small things, and make every link to the extreme, so as to finally succeed.

2. Creative background
Laozi was a knowledgeable person in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He used to be an official in the Tibetan-guarding room of the Zhou Dynasty, where he collected a large number of ancient books and accumulated rich knowledge. Laozi has in-depth research on astronomy, geography, human relations, etc. He is very persistent in the pursuit of knowledge, and 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 Laozi witnessed the sufferings of the people. As a Tibetan official of the Zhou Dynasty, he put forward a series of propositions on governing the country and protecting the people. Yin Xi played a great role in the compilation of Tao Te Ching. When Yin Xi was young, he was fond of astronomy, loved reading ancient books, and had profound self-cultivation.
I was moved by Yin Xi, and based on my own life experience, the success or failure of the dynasty, and the safety and happiness of the people, I wrote two books, * * * 5, words, namely the Tao Te Ching.
