Laozi said that "goodness is like water" means "Laozi": "goodness is like water, and water is the goodness of all things." In other words, the highest realm of good deeds, like the nature of water, does not dispute fame and fortune and is favored by all things. [Interpretation] Edit the prefix of this paragraph: Good as water is simple and unpretentious, without being born, joining the WTO, jumping out of the three realms, and pronouncing in the five elements: shàng shàn ruo Shuǐ Source: Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching Chapter 8: Good as water. Water is good for all things, but does not dispute; Being in the evil of everyone, so being in the Tao. 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. Laozi (600-470 years ago) (born in Shimao on February 15th in Wuding at the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty), surnamed Li Minger, was born in Qurenli, Li Xiang, an ancient county of Chu (now Lu Yi, Henan), Han nationality. He was a great philosopher and thinker in ancient China, the founder of Taoist school and a world cultural celebrity. Laozi, also known as Lao Dan, is said to be born with white eyebrows and white beard, so he is called Laozi; Laozi lived in the Spring and Autumn Period and worked as a librarian (equivalent to the director of the National Library) in Luoyi (now Luoyang, Henan). The best person to edit this paragraph is water. Water is good at nourishing everything without competing with it, staying in places that people don't like, so it is closest to the Tao. The best people are those who are best at choosing their place of residence, who are good at keeping calm and unfathomable, who are good at treating others sincerely, lovingly and selflessly, who are good at keeping their promises, who are good at streamlining administration, who are good at governing the country, who are good at exerting their strengths and who are good at seizing opportunities in action. The best people do what they do because they have indisputable virtues, so there is no fault or blame. In this paragraph, the original editor said: water is the good of all things, but it is not disputed, and it is the evil of all, so it is a minority. This is the virtue of modesty; Therefore, Jiang Hai can be the king of all the valleys, and if he is good at it, he can also be the king of all the valleys. The water in the world is not weak, and the strong can't win, which is also gentleness; Therefore, softness wins, and weakness wins. Because it has nothing, it can be integrated, so it can be seen that teaching without words and inaction are also beneficial. [Note] Edit this paragraph ① Good as water: the most important meaning. Being a good person is the best. Here I use the image of water to illustrate that "sage" is the embodiment of Tao, because the words and deeds of sage are similar to water, while water virtue is close to Tao. (2) Being in an annoying place: that is, living in a place that people don't want to go. 3 a few in the way: a few, near. That is, approaching the road. 4 depth: static depth. ⑤ Harmony and kindness: Harmony refers to communication with people. Kindness refers to educated people. 6 politics, good governance: good at governing the country for politics, so as to achieve political achievements. ⑦ Move and be good at grasping the opportunity: Behavior and action are good at grasping the favorable opportunity. Especially: blame, negligence and sin. [Quotations] After editing this paragraph in the previous chapter, human nature is promoted by the way of heaven and earth. This chapter uses natural water to describe and teach people. 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". [Opinion] Edit this paragraph. Laozi respects water the 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 do not do it; " After the crowd, and Changde before the crowd. "It is the most remarkable feature of water to strive for it, selflessness and selfishness. 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. When the Zhou Dynasty collapsed in 5 16 BC, Wang Zichao fled to Chu. In today's words, the 55-year-old Lao Tzu lost his job and returned to his hometown (perhaps farming, but I didn't read this passage carefully). At this time, Confucius, 20 years younger than Laozi, visited Laozi and asked him for advice. This is how the allusion "Confucius asked Li" came from. Confucius compared Laozi to a "dragon" to describe Laozi's unfathomable and elusive. When they saw the stream flowing in the mountains, Confucius said, "The deceased is like this", but Lao Tzu said, "Good as water". The communication between Confucius, who believed in "benevolence and morality", and Laozi, who was bent on "returning to simplicity", laid the foundation for the later integration of Confucianism and Taoism. " Xunzi Youzuo recorded a conversation in which Confucius answered a question from disciple Zi Gong about water: "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, like ambition. Therefore, when a gentleman sees a flood, he must watch it change. "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. From Dujiangyan (Yu): water, seemingly supple and boneless, can become powerful; Seemingly colorless and tasteless, it can shed a large green field, fruitful and colorful; It seems inferior, but it can transpiration for nine days, for clouds are rain, for rainbows are chardonnay; It seems to have no shape, but it can be expected to moisten everything as a savior ... as if people are controlling water. In fact, all successful water control schemes are because people understand water and should follow it and listen to it. Only in this case, will there be a unity of heaven and man, selfless and immortal. This is the Tao. According to the reference editor, in this section, if the water is good, birds fly around and flowers bloom everywhere, and peach blossoms, cherry blossoms and azaleas decorate the earth with vitality. God let us wander between heaven and earth, so we naturally have the obligation to leave everything we enjoy today to future generations. In the long river of history, we are just passers-by Recently, despite the appeal of the international community, Afghanistan insisted on destroying the Buddha statues in China, including the two tallest Buddha statues in the world, hoping to eradicate all the Buddhist heritage in the country. The ancient Buddha statues in Afghanistan are the heritage of all mankind and the witness of history. It only takes three or two days to destroy, but all the historical sites are gone. There is a saying in Laozi's Tao Te Ching: "Goodness is like water, water is the good of all things without dispute, and water is the evil of all things. So, just a few words. Living in a good place, kind-hearted, kind-hearted, good at words, good at governance, good at doing things, good at dealing with people. Husband is just indisputable, so there is nothing special. It means: the best is like water, and it is good at helping everything without competing with it; Stay where people least like, so it's closest to the road. Good people should choose places like water, deliberately choose places like water, make friends like water, make blind dates like water, speak sincerely like water, organize for politicians like water, do things like water and act like water. It is precisely because water and things are so uncontroversial that it won't make mistakes. Everything is born to support the people, without racial discrimination or religious wars. The same is true of water, which flows everywhere and can be drunk regardless of good or evil. Heaven is so tolerant that human beings might as well learn from it, so there will be fewer disputes and calmness. The wisdom of the ancients is like diamonds. Wipe it from time to time, and it will shine. Don't throw it aside and let it turn to dust. Fuzhi Culture and Education Foundation promotes moral education and holds Bible reading classes, hoping that children will cultivate virtue through the teaching of sages from an early age. In today's society, "profit" is talked about everywhere, but few people clearly know what the highest return on investment is. Invest in children and nourish them with heart, virtue, righteousness and love. One day, seedlings will become the pillars of the country, and those who irrigate hard today will certainly make contributions. This issue of Friends of Blessed Knowledge has a "different Children's Day", which is about how a group of children study and repay their parents' kindness under the guidance of teachers' moral education. Let the celebration of Children's Day on June 1st be no longer just eating, drinking, having fun and making a hullabaloo about, and really let the children benefit and improve in their own festivals. This magazine describes the little things that some people do, but there is a big ideal behind these people and things, that is, to build a kind society. For example, Topics of the Season mentioned the organic certification and evaluation system. Many professionals are willing to spend time and energy to protect our five zang-organs temple. Without them, the organic cause will not be sustainable, and farmers are willing to cooperate with organic certification, take pains to attend seminars and improve farming methods. Why talk about everything? But as long as we do things according to our conscience and work for the welfare of the people, the benefits will inevitably follow. This is natural!
