Chapter of Sages Handed Down from Ancient Times - Taoist Sage Laozi

In the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period, rituals collapsed and music collapsed, and the princes continued to attack for hundreds of years. People in the world are chasing fame, lusting after power, and fighting for killings. The road is covered in war, and the people are trapped in troubled times. In the eighty-one year since the Taoist fetus was conceived, under the plum tree in Ku County, the Holy Son with a bright head was born. Born with the ability to speak, one can know the destiny of prosperity and decline by observing the growth and decline of trees and plants, one can understand the truth by listening to flowing water passing through rocks, and one can see the source of suffering in the world with the innate energy of the Tao. In his weak years, he went to Luoyi and entered the Zhou Shou Tibetan Chamber. He read all the secret scriptures of the three emperors and five emperors through the ages, and understood the secrets of the rise and fall of the Xia and Shang dynasties. Living in the royal city for decades, he watched with a cold eye the factional strife in the court and the merger of princes, and condensed the avenue of inaction that connects heaven and earth from thousands of scraps of scraps. Confucius of the State of Lu had the ambition to restore the rites and save the world, so he went to Luoyi seven times to ask questions. The seven debates between the two sages of Confucianism and Taoism, from the origin of ritual and music to the authenticity of benevolence and righteousness, from the path of hardness and softness to the cycle of prosperity and decline, collided with each other and created an ideological fire that illuminated later generations for more than two thousand years. Wang Gang was in decline and the situation was irreversible. He decided to go west to Hangu and return to the outside world. Under the majestic pass, heavy troops blocked the road, and one of the princes threatened to pass the pass and demanded the sacred book of governing the country. The 5,000-word "Tao Te Ching" was written here - the world regards it as the bible of emperors and governance, but few people understand: it was never a plot for hegemony, but an expedient pen that he used to see through the illusion of royal power and escape from troubled times. It is also a cold mirror that shines a light on the obsessions of the people of the world. The green cow entered the sea of ​​clouds in the west, and its trace has become a mystery since then. There are only five thousand mantras left that have been passed down through the ages. The principles of heaven and earth and the truth of the world behind the words are waiting for readers to gradually understand.
