Laozi's thought is broad and profound, meaningful and chewable. When I was young, I liked to read the moral Classic of Laozi, and I felt that Laozi's thought was really a kind of wisdom for survival.
Laozi's thought is based on peace of life, striving for survival and the wisdom of struggle. Laozi is good at comparing life with water, which is a core of Laozi's thought. The good is like water, and the water is good and beneficial to all things without contention. It is the evil of all people, and it is impossible to overcome the strength of the attack. Laozi emphasizes struggle and does not advocate that kind of struggle strategy of overexert and ruthless. In my opinion, weakness is better than strength. The weak tongue lasts longer than the hard teeth; the weak water can conquer the tough ones. Laozi's wisdom can be said to be a subject of vivid reasoning that combines profound historical perception with ordinary life phenomena. Concise, alert and profound, easy to remember.
Laozi does not advocate publicity. Laozi's wisdom lies in concealment and does not advocate hard-hitting, which is the huge price that Laozi pays when he sees hard play. The weakness advocated by Laozi is actually a kind of hidden wisdom. Water, for example, seems weak, but its hidden power is very great. When Laozi's concealment was extended to the governance of the country, he advocated that the sharp weapon of the country should not be shown to others. In fact, this kind of thinking of Laozi is also a way to hide strength. In the art of war, it is emphasized that one cannot expose one's own strength so as not to let the enemy take precautions. Keeping a killer mace should be the guarantee of a country's national defense and security. This is the greatest enlightenment of Laozi's thought to us.
For property, for women. Laozi advocated slow hiding, education and theft, tolerance and fornication. Wealth is a kind of thing that can easily arouse people's desire. Laozi believes that in these aspects that are easy to arouse people's desires and evil thoughts, we should be cautious and do not advocate showing off or exposing. The best way for people to guard against is to keep a low profile, hide their belongings, and don't dress up too much. So you don't get into unexpected trouble. From this point of view, Laozi's thought is still focused on people's livelihood, that is, how to survive better and longer.
Some people say that Laozi's thought is negative philosophy, in fact, this is the superficial understanding of Laozi's thought, and the essence of Laozi's thought is still attacking. However, first of all, Laozi's attack is to keep his premise, rather than Xu Chu-style naked. How can a man who cannot guarantee his own life and fortune win the final victory of the attack? Therefore, Laozi always inspires people from the revelation of water, which is as good as water, and water is good for all things. It seems indisputable, but in fact, in the end, the water can achieve its goal. You see, a stream is blocked by a rock, and the current, instead of wrestling with the front of the rock, skillfully bypasses the rock, flows through its side, and finally achieves its goal of returning to the sea. It is not because they are constantly entangled with the rocks that they lose their own time and goal to move forward. This is the wisdom of water. As the old saying goes, wise men enjoy water. It is probably because the wise man is always able to take shape according to the situation like water, and finally achieve himself.
When Laozi uses water to describe things, he still uses rivers and seas as the king of valleys, so he can be the king of valleys, so he should be broad-minded and humble, such as the sea is rivers and rivers, and tolerance is great. There are also losses among the people, there are a lot of reasons, people get along with others, there will inevitably be exchanges of interests, but for those misers who are afraid that others will take advantage of themselves, it is difficult to have a few friends. In dealing with interpersonal relationships, there is a saying that first-class people save people, second-class people save things, and third-class people save money. This sentence is indeed not without reason. In the communication between people, we still have to put righteousness first, not to hurt family affection, friendship and so on for the sake of money. After all, money is not everything, and precious family, friendship and so on can not be bought back with money.
Laozi's thoughts are broad and profound, and with the increase of age and the enrichment of experience, we will feel that we have a feeling of reading often and always new. I admire Laozi, the sage of 2000 years ago, who left us precious ideological nourishment. Thinking about this, I can't help but think of Confucius' evaluation of Laozi: Confucius said: & lsquo; bird, I know it can fly; beast, I know it can walk; walker can be labor lost, traveler can be fiber, flying can be Yazeng. As for dragons, I don't know if they ride the wind and clouds and go up to heaven. When I see Laozi today, he is still a dragon evil! & rsquo; Laozi's thought is really broad!
