2020 is a year that is destined to be different from the beginning.

The sudden epidemic has made each of us cautious in times of danger.

It also allows us to strip away the trivial and troubled life in this impetuous city, so that we can be quietly alone with ourselves and with our families.

If you think about it, this epidemic is also awakening us and giving us the gift of life: rethinking the meaning of life and how to live the rest of our lives.

At the same time, the "Xingtu" team established a charity reading group to bring peace of mind and find a place to rest for impetuous hearts during the epidemic.

After its establishment, we selected two books with different styles and characteristics, the Chinese classic "Tao Te Ching" and the psychological masterpiece "The Courage to Be Disliked". After everyone's voting, we finally decided to read the first issue of "Tao Te Ching"

》, invite everyone to read and share together, and exchange the mysteries that classics are closely related to our lives.

The reader, Sun Tao, is a young man who has a special experience and sets out to find the truth of life and a high-quality life.

He has experienced a lot of ups and downs in human relationships, the breakup of family, and the breakup of love.

There are many successes and failures, hopes and despairs, so I have different insights and gains from my peers.

We listened to him talk about this classic...with capable and precise vocabulary, humorous language, and many short stories, sharing the obscure classical Chinese to the fullest!

Now, let us review it together!

The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; the name can be named, but it is not named.

Nothing is called the beginning of heaven and earth; Being is called the mother of all things.

Therefore, if there is always nothing, I would like to observe its wonderfulness; if there is always something, I would like to observe its beauty.

These two have the same origin but different names. They are both called mysteries. Mysteries are mysteries and mysteries are mysteries. They are the door to all mysteries.

Translation: The "Tao" that can be expressed in words is not the eternal and ultimate "Tao".

The "name" that can be described in words is not the eternal and ultimate "name".

The shadowless state of chaos is the beginning of everything in the world.

The original state when everything in the heaven and earth was formed is the source of all things.

Therefore, we must always understand the mystery of "Tao" from "nothing".

We must always understand the boundaries of all things from "being". "Nothing" and "being" have the same origin but different names.

However, they all reflect the profound mystery of "Tao".

This is not an ordinary profound mystery, but profound and profound, mysterious and mysterious. This is the general gate of all the mysteries of the universe. There is a short story about this chapter, which happened to two ancient sages, Confucius.

And Laozi: One day, Confucius said to Laozi: "I have studied the Six Classics of Poetry, Calligraphy, Rites, Yue, Yi, Spring and Autumn Annals for a long time, and I am familiar with the principles. However, based on this, I went to visit 72 monarchs and explain to Mr.

You preached the merits of Zhou Gongzhao Gong, but no monarch accepted it! Is it because it is difficult to convince these people, or is it difficult to carry forward your principles?

The scriptures are just old knowledge from the time of the ancestors, so how can they be the real Tao? What you call knowledge and principles are like footprints, the footprints of ancestors, and the experiences of ancestors. Footprints are not shoes, so how can they be useful?

Birds can reproduce when the male and female look at each other; while in insects, the male is on top and the female is on the bottom. There is a kind of animal called "animal", which is both male and female and can reproduce by itself.

Destiny cannot be changed, time cannot be blocked, and the way cannot be blocked. If you get the way, you will succeed, but if you lose the way, you will fail." After hearing this, Confucius didn't go out for three months, and he practiced meditation at home.

Go see me.

Confucius said: "I understand, crows and magpies are born when they hatch, fish are born by soaking in foam, and bees are born by metamorphosis. A younger brother is born, and an older brother cries after losing love. I have been away from nature for a long time, and I have not yet reached the level of heaven.

How can we educate people in a unified state?" Laozi said, "Very good. Confucius has attained the Tao." Laozi warned Confucius that the so-called Six Classics he learned were just old knowledge and were far from the Tao.

The Tao needs to follow the laws of heaven and earth, be integrated with the natural world, observe all things in the world, and observe the laws of the development of things, and only then can we obtain the Tao; only by obtaining the Tao can we integrate the knowledge we have learned, so as to apply what we have learned and educate the world.

Confucius finally realized this, so Lao Tzu said he had achieved enlightenment.

Sun Tao: From this dialogue between Laozi and Confucius and the process of Confucius’ change, we can also gain some inspiration: No matter how profound and ultimate the Tao is, if it is divorced from our daily life, it is divorced from our real life,

It has no real meaning.

——No matter what we study (family education, belief in Buddhism, Taoism, family system arrangement, etc.), the ultimate goal is to live a more complete and happy life through the knowledge we have learned.
