Lao Tzu first compared the personality of noble people to water, thinking that their character is like water, one is soft, the other is to stay in humble places, and the third is to nourish everything without fighting. The most perfect personality should also have this kind of mentality and behavior, not only doing things that are beneficial to everyone, but also willing to go to humble places that others don't want to go and do things that others don't want to do.
He can endure humiliation, work hard and try his best to help others, instead of competing with others for fame and gain. This is Laozi's famous thought of "conquering the enemy without fighting". [Analysis] Laozi admires water most among all things in nature, and thinks that water virtue is close to Tao.
The ideal "sage" is the embodiment of Tao, because his words and deeds are similar to water. Why do you say that Shuide is close to Tao? Wang Fuzhi explained: "Water is the smallest of the five elements.
Those who are good at living in the Tao are small and not doing it; After the crowd, Changde came first. "Do not dispute, selfless, this is the most remarkable feature of water.
Water nourishes everything without taking it from everything, and is willing to stay in the lowest and wettest place. The next seven compound sentence's are all about the description of water virtue, and also introduce the qualities that a kind person should have.
Laozi also arranged seven words of "goodness", all inspired by water. The final conclusion is that the essence of being a man is "indisputable".
In other words, it is better to live in the evil of others than to compete with others for profits, and others have nothing to complain about. "Xunzi Youzuo" recorded a conversation between Confucius and his eldest son: "Confucius watched the water flow eastward.
Zi Gong asked Confucius: What is the truth that a gentleman must look at water when he sees it? Confucius said, "Being rich in water, being partial to others and doing nothing, is like virtue." . Its flow is also declining, and detention must follow its principles and be just.
Its Tao Tao is unyielding, like a pottery. If there is a decision to be made, it should be quietly, and it will go forward to the valley without fear.
The principal quantity must be flat, similar to the law, and the profit is not approximate, but seems positive. As for micro-touch, it seems to be observed.
Go out and enter, be fresh and clean, like goodness. Its 10,000-fold will also be eastward, such as ambition.
Therefore, a gentleman must look at water when he sees it. "Here, Confucius described the ideal image of a noble gentleman in his mind with water, which involves moral categories such as morality, righteousness, Taoism, courage, law, honesty, inspection, ambition and goodness.
This view is obviously different from Taoism, but there are also some similarities. This quotation can be read with reference to Chapter 8 of Tao Te Ching.
2. What are the classic famous sentences about "kindness is like water"?
Good as water, good as water.
Water is good for all things without dispute, and evil for all, so it is a few words. Living in a good place, kind-hearted, kind-hearted, good at words, good at politics, good at doing things, good at dealing with people.
Husband is just indisputable, so there is nothing special. Virtue is like water: water is good at nourishing everything without seeking success, and can live and work in an environment that everyone hates, so it is close to the realm of Tao.
Defend the good land that no one hits and no one hits; The mood is as clear and quiet as the abyss; Behavior is full of love for all beings because of inner peace; The word because of quietism, does not seek fame and fortune, natural loyalty; Politically, because of selflessness, no desire and no deliberate pursuit of promising jobs, it can naturally be governed; After getting rid of all selfish desires, seeking fame, seeking profits and being overjoyed, we can really concentrate all our energy on doing things and do everything; Acting will also see the real start time and be good at grasping the opportunity. It is precisely because he does not deliberately strive for power, profit and fame that he has neither inner worries nor depression, nor external troubles and difficulties.
"Good as water." The best kind is like water! As we said before, "goodness" is a space-time category.
It is an application of Tao in our world-a concrete evaluation of virtue. "Virtue" evolved from "Tao", which is a universal law.
On the level of Tao, there is no distinction between good and evil, but on the level of morality, there is not only a qualitative difference between good and evil, but also a qualitative difference between good, good and good. Everything in the world has virtue, such as "Heaven has virtue, Earth has virtue, Chunmu Dexing, Summer Fire Dexing, Autumn Jindexing and Winter Water Dexing".
Tudexing at the turn of the four seasons. For example, a monarch has virtue, a gentleman has benevolence, a martial artist stresses martial virtue, an artist stresses artistic virtue, and ordinary people stresses personal virtue.
So what can be used to measure whether these virtues are good or bad, good or small? The only criterion is to see whether it conforms to the Tao. Conformity is "goodness", and the more conformity, the better.
Why is water "virtuous" and "good"? Just because it is "a little more than Tao"-very close to Tao. What are the specific merits of this "water virtue" which is very close to "Tao"? Because it "defeats the enemy without fighting, it is not good."
-being good at nourishing everything without seeking success, being able to live and work in an environment that everyone hates, that is to say, "being selfish and benefiting others", which is Bethune's * * * style of upright character! Water is what we are most familiar with. Three quarters of our bodies are water. There are countless concrete examples about water, so I will focus on the following seven aspects.
"Live in a good place, be kind-hearted, kind-hearted, good at words, good at politics, good at doing things, and good at being a person." This is Laozi's further development of "water virtue" and his comparison with "human virtue".
Live in a good place. The characteristics of water are downward, which is aimed at our world (earth).
Therefore, water will generally rush to those low-lying places without hesitation-places that secular people hate most. This is "water flows downwards", but people have to "go upwards". If everyone wants to go "high" in interpersonal communication, it is bound to "fight", from fist to fist, to blood dripping, to life and death.
If someone can pay attention to lowering their posture, condescending to themselves and keeping a modest attitude, then it is "indisputable", and "indisputable" is one of the behaviors of "doing good". And "goodness" is the most consistent with "Tao", so it is cheap in the end.
As the saying goes, "it is a blessing to lose money, and it is a good thing to get cheap." "Good people don't bully the sky, and evil people are afraid of it." That's the truth.
Looking back at the water, although it keeps rushing to the low-lying places, it never stops sublimation (evaporation). Finally, it swims in the blue sky in a brand-new and purer form, namely white clouds-no one looks down on it. As the saying goes, "plummet, fall into the abyss."
God won't bully me. I'll go to heaven in nine days. ""good heart ".
The essence of water is clear and quiet, never influenced by any foreign objects, and its physical and chemical properties are extremely stable: colorless, odorless and transparent. When you run fast, you can be mixed with gravel, but once you stop, you will slowly clarify and restore your original appearance.
It can contain many inorganic salts and minerals, but when it sublimates (evaporates), it returns to its purity. Can we be human and never be confused by the environment like that? Always keep that pure and quiet heart? Can we not change the nature of nature and the original intention of kindness? "Be kind to others".
Water is "kind" to any object. Rubble and Baoyu can follow it, and it will never favor one over the other. It is willing to nourish towering trees and humble grass, neither following the trend nor pretending to be lofty.
"Good words and good faith". Underwater sound is the most beautiful sound between heaven and earth, and it is also the most unpredictable sound, but each sound conforms to its identity.
It can be the "moistening things silently" like spring rain, the "gurgling" of a stream, the "rushing" of a river and the roar of the sea. You can know its shape by listening to its voice. This is "faith". Consistent inside and outside, consistent in appearance, neither bluffing nor pretentious.
"Good governance". Water completely depends on the principle of "Tao" and the specific geographical environment to determine its path. No matter what the east, west, north and south, whether it is a straight road or a detour, it is based on the terrain, and there is absolutely no subjective desire to go.
It has only one general direction, running towards low-lying, regardless of style and face. It can be dozens of miles wide and a few meters narrow. It can walk on the ground or underground. It doesn't even consider whether it will eventually run to the sea or the desert, and it will never automatically seek good fortune and avoid evil. Water is the real "inaction".
Good things can be done. Water has the most functions.
It can moisten, dissolve, clean and wash. It can be a drop of life-saving "nectar" or "the strong can't win".
