Tao Te Ching (National Academy of Chinese Studies)

The Tao Te Ching has a total of eighty-one chapters, divided into Tao Jing and De Jing, with a full text of more than 5,000 words. There are not many words in each chapter, but the principles are both simple and mysterious. After reading it, I had a realization - the great truth is the most simple, and the great principles (basic principles, methods and laws) are extremely simple and simple. Tao is very mysterious, invisible and intangible, but you can feel its existence. "Tao" has two interconnected connotations, namely the entity of the material world and the universal laws of movement and change in the material world. Tao is the origin of everything, the place where everything happens, it is there.

For thousands of years, everyone from emperors and generals to common people have learned the essence of governing the country and the people, cultivating one's moral character, and conducting one's life from this wisdom book in the history of human civilization. Today, with the development of social sciences and the rapid development of social economy, people's material wealth is becoming more and more abundant, but their spiritual wealth is becoming increasingly poor, and the phenomenon of moral decay is becoming increasingly serious. The call to "be an upright person and work down-to-earth" is getting stronger and stronger day by day. In a real life filled with materialistic desires, how do we face the temptations of money, status, and beauty? We can also find the answer in the holy scripture "Tao Te Ching", which requires us to pay attention to quiet conduct, quiet introspection, and do our duty in daily life, work and family! Since we are very small individuals, our power is very weak, and our lives are very short, why don't we correct our mentality?

"Tao Te Ching" is a grand Taoist classic written by Laozi during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is divided into Tao Jing and De Jing. The book explains everything in the universe from "Tao" to various principles of life. It contains very profound philosophical knowledge and has had a very significant impact on the development of Chinese philosophy. And if we ordinary people reading this book can understand one thousandth of it, our lives will benefit endlessly. For example, "Five colors are blinding" tells people a truth: Facing the temptation of the outside world, you must make choices, otherwise you will lose your true heart.

I think the book "Tao Te Ching" is super interesting! The principles in it are easy to understand. My favorite part is the "Tao" and "De" parts. Just like we should care for nature, we should not litter and be friends with nature. I will also tell these principles to my friends and let them protect the environment together!

The Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao. Famous, very famous. The beginning of the nameless world. Known as the mother of all things. Therefore, I always have no desire to observe its wonders. I always have the desire to watch him. The two have the same origin but different names, and they are both called xuan. Mysterious and mysterious, the door to all mysteries. "Tao" is the general term for all laws and truths in heaven and earth. It is a whole and an objective existence. "De" refers to the laws and nature of specific things, which is individual and subjective existence. By the way, Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" is really popular all over the world now.
