Read the Tao of Lao Tzu and be a wise man.
1, stick to the ancient way to resist the present.
Translation follows the ancient road to control the concrete reality in today's real world.
To understand the meaning of this sentence is to use the existing truth to control the concrete things now. In other words, learn from the past and make the past serve the present.
Laozi told people a truth, that is, we should apply what we learned from previous people to real life, so as to achieve good results.
Zi Zhi Tong Jian, compiled by Sima Guang and others, summarizes many experiences and lessons, which can be used for reference by future generations. In view of the past, is capital governing? That is, to strengthen the rule by taking historical gains and losses as a warning, and its purpose is to let the rulers understand the law and way of governing.
2. I have three treasures, which I will keep: one is kindness, the other is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. Kindness makes courage. Thrift can be extensive, and you dare not be the first in the world, so you can last for a long time.
I have three treasures, which I hold and cherish: one is kindness, the other is frugality, and the third is that I dare not walk in front of the world. Be kind, so that you can be brave in dedication; Pursue thrift, so you can help people; Dare not walk in front of the world, so I can become a world leader.
I feel that the three treasures mentioned by Laozi are not similar or even opposite to the superficial phenomena of things. For example, on the battlefield, a kind-hearted person will not be brave if he is soft-hearted, but Lao Tzu said that kindness is the reason why he can be brave. Isn't this just the opposite?
Mencius said:? The benevolent is invincible in the world. ? In this way, the true benevolent is not only brave, but also brave to the world. ? Kindness makes courage? What is said is the essence, so it is contrary to the surface phenomenon. What do we usually talk about? Is Renda brave? That's the truth.
People think that thrift can't be a big deal. However, Lao Tzu believes that only by using resources frugally can we do more important things. You must economize on your mind and essence to keep your mind and essence full and full of vitality; You must save your wealth to invest in more and bigger enterprises. So what? Can you save money? In essence, it means.
People are used to getting ahead of everything, but Lao Tzu pointed out that you can't get ahead of everything. It seems to be retrogression. If we admit that we should follow the natural development of things, rather than pulling things to develop unnaturally, then Lao Tzu's words are right. The former is inaction, and the latter is promising.
What do we usually say? Is the melon ripe? Say it again? Isn't twisted melon sweet? That's the truth. We know, too? Pregnant in October? . The fetus is less than the time, so we will give birth to him ahead of time, right? Dare to be the first in the world? . I dare not give birth to him early, right? Dare not be number one in the world? .
3. The scientific name of success is "Retirement after Success, Heaven".
When a translator succeeds, he can retreat quickly. This is heaven.
I think people should conform to heaven, do things to achieve their goals, and when their achievements have reached the peak, they should lead behind and know how to retreat quickly. Is this consistent? Heaven? Yes
There is also a saying in Tao Te Ching called? If you are sharp, can't you keep it for a long time? . The weapon in a person's hand is already sharp, but the sharper the blade, the thinner it will be, and it will be damaged when it meets something slightly hard, so it can't be kept for a long time. Similarly, a person who has achieved success, but does not know how to give in, and blindly pursues more people can not last long.
? Back? It doesn't mean to retreat passively and escape from the world, but to tell people to know how to converge and reflect when they succeed, not to advance blindly, but to retreat appropriately.
? Retire after success? Is a kind of great wisdom, which enlightens us that when we have merits, we should never be proud, let alone be easily convinced? How do you think? Come and talk, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble and even danger. Retirement after success can save yourself, which is another great wisdom that Laozi taught us.
4, knowing people is wise. He who knows himself knows.
People who can understand others can only be called smart, and people who can know themselves can be called smart.
Feeling? He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise? This sentence shows that Lao Tzu is critical of intelligence and thinks that only people with great wisdom are wise.
In other words, understanding others and knowing how to deal with them is smart; Knowing yourself, knowing your strengths and weaknesses, is the real great wisdom. In this concept,? Ming? Significantly higher? Wisdom? Yes ? Smart? This is how the word was born.
Those who know others are smart, those who know themselves are smart, and those who know themselves are self-aware. This is what we often say, I don't know where the source is. It's easy to say something, but it's hard to really do it.
People are self-aware, and people with self-awareness can constantly find their own mistakes, not be complacent about a little achievement, and only in this way can they constantly improve themselves.
If there is no great achievement, its use will not be harmful. If you have a big profit, you can use it endlessly.
The most perfect thing, seemingly lacking, can never be destroyed. The most abundant things, seemingly nothing, can be inexhaustible.
Feeling? If you lack success, will it be useful? There are two kinds of understanding of Dacheng: first, it has made great achievements or success; One is the perfect thing.
Laozi believes that even the most perfect things seem to be lacking. Similarly, people who have achieved great success should also show their own shortcomings. Keeping your imperfections is the need of your own development, because only in this way can you ensure your progress.
? If the profit is strong, can it be used endlessly? , in which the surplus is full, full. The truth of these two sentences is the same, and they are both discussing the truth that extremes meet.
Does Lao Tzu want to tell people that everything should be held at a certain level and only maintained at this level? What if there are great achievements? 、? How big is the profit? State, to ensure the sustainable development and progress of things.
6, heaven has no relatives, often with good people.
Heaven does not distinguish between relatives and friends, but there are always virtuous and kind people.
Feeling? Heaven has no relatives, often with good people? On the surface, it seems that heaven treats all beings equally, impartially, selflessly, neither thick nor thin, but God often unconsciously secretly helps kind people.
The real meaning of Lao Tzu's sentence is that those who do good follow the heaven, so those who do good follow the heaven, so the heaven will always be with the good people, so that the good people can do it well and smoothly.
I came to tell people. Okay？ Is it big? Tao? Yes, good people are consistent with their words and deeds because of their own thoughts? Tao? Yes, and can stick to what is in your heart? Tao? Then it will naturally be favored by the avenue. Therefore, being a man and doing things should conform to heaven, do more good deeds, make good relationships and be a kind person.
Here, what shall I call it? Okay？ , not blindly doing good deeds or self-righteous doing good deeds, but doing things that are in line with the big things? Tao? what's up Okay？ .
7. Zhi Zhi is not in danger.
If you know enough, you will not be in danger.
Feeling? Zhi Zhi? Just stop. Tao Te Ching mentioned it many times. Not satisfied? And then what? Desire? Is the source of disaster. Zhi Zhi? Then disaster can be avoided. Laozi believes that if a person cares too much about something and sticks to it, it will be damaged.
So? Can Zhi Zhi be safe? It tells people that enough is enough. When this truth is applied to people's lives, it is necessary to know how to let go at the right time, so that you can restore calm.
8. Do nothing. Do nothing.
Follow the laws of nature and do nothing. Nothing is impossible.
Feel Lao Tzu's? Doing nothing? It's not passive inaction, it's not telling people to lie on the sofa and do nothing. Or dangling your hands in your pockets? Doing nothing? Do not advocate? Why not? . On the contrary, it only opposes acts that violate the laws of nature and demands that the development of nature cannot be destroyed by personal subjective desires, so people often put? Natural? And then what? Doing nothing? Together, collectively? Natural inaction? .
Only inaction can have nature, and inaction itself is nature. Therefore, inaction is not only a means, but also an end, an attitude towards life and a realm of life.
In addition, it also emphasizes not to act rashly, not to violate the laws of the existence, development and change of things, to fully understand the laws of the development of things, and then to act according to the laws of nature, rather than doing things that violate the laws. You can't do whatever you want, and you can't do it without reality. But should let nature take its course and follow the laws of nature and society.
Pass? Doing nothing? To achieve it? All in vain? . It sounds ridiculous to realize people's subjective goals by canceling their subjective efforts. But behind this seemingly barren Tang discourse, it contains rich and profound wisdom.
Everything in nature grows aimlessly and unconsciously, but the result conforms to a certain purpose; Nature pursues something unconsciously, but it achieves everything invisibly. Flowers in the water, eagles flying and fish jumping are all unconscious, but they are wonderful; They didn't want to achieve anything, but they achieved everything.
9. If you promise easily, you will break your promise. How easy it is, how difficult it will be.
Those promises made easily must be rarely fulfilled; Taking things too easy often leads to many difficulties in doing them.
Feeling? A promise is a promise, a promise is a promise? The fact is, whatever you do, don't promise easily. Once you make a promise, you should do it seriously and never break your word.
This sentence of Laozi can be interpreted from two aspects here: first, if a person promises easily, then maybe he is a promise that lacks sincerity, and this promise itself is also a lack of credit. Second, a person promises easily, and others will lose trust in him when they see that he can't keep his promise.
Laozi's great wisdom and wisdom have a profound insight into human nature, so he pointed out sharply that those who promise easily must have insufficient credit. The purpose of Lao Tzu's saying this is to warn us not to listen to rhetoric on the one hand. More importantly, let's keep our word, keep our promise and not be a frivolous renegade.
10, it won't go away for a long time.
Translation can only be safe and lasting if it does not lose its foundation.
Feeling? By who? It means a place or place, and here it is extended to a basic or fundamental meaning. What did I say here? By who? It should refer to the foundation of life. With the foundation of life, there will be a purpose of life. With the purpose of life, we can walk on the road of life for a long time by unswervingly following our own path.
Lao tze put it forward? By who? , refers to a person's home, not only literally living, but also the belonging of the mind and spirit, which can be regarded as the foundation and belief that a person should stick to.
This sentence of Laozi is to remind the world that only when we are in the society and face all kinds of temptations can we stick to our duty, not abandon our roots because of the attraction and interference of external factors, not forget our active mentality and be safe for a long time.
