Chapter 1370: Soldiers, Plants and Trees, All Soldiers

This temporary handover volume is the "Tao Te Ching", which later became popular, and it is said to have become the second most read book in the world after the Bible.

Therefore, if the Tao Te Ching is a book, the author Lao Tzu is certainly the key, because these ideas are all from its unique head, but if there is no Yin Xi, the Tao Te Ching will remain in the head from which it comes forever.

No matter how unique his mind is, no matter how high-end his thinking is, only he knows it, and he can't pass it on to others, or even to his descendants.

Therefore, Yin Xi is like discovering Maxima's Bole, just like discovering a star scout, and has made a special contribution to the preservation and dissemination of Lao Tzu's thoughts.

Therefore, the descendants of Lao Tzu were very grateful to this commissioner, and of course he himself became a student of Lao Tzu.

Because of this relationship, or the two families have lived next to each other for generations, supporting each other and maintaining the traditions and ideals of Lao Tzu.

Between the two families, there is a big house, with three big characters of "Taichu Palace" written on it.

This Taihe Palace is related to Yin Xi's request for Lao Tzu to write a book, but when Lao Tzu wrote the book, there was no Taichu Palace, which is a descendant

In order to commemorate this event, the Taichu Palace was built in the place where Lao Tzu wrote the scriptures.

Taichu Palace is a palace-style classical building.

On the edge of the temple ridge and the eaves of the gable, there are rare birds and beasts such as unicorns, lions, tigers, chickens, dogs, etc., and they have both gods and shapes.

The flying beams on the top of the hall are vertical and horizontal, the rafters are uneven, although the roof truss is complex, but it is a rule of its own, the temple is wide, there is no pillar in it.

The main gate of Taichu Palace, there are two stone tablets, one pass stands in the four years of Yuan Dade, one pass stands in the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and it records the story of Lao Tzu riding a green ox through the Hangu Pass.

The one on the right is where the descendants of Lao Tzu live, and there are about 1,000 households.

The building materials of the house are basically grass, wood, and stone. Close to nature.

Mai Ke couldn't help asking: "It has been more than 2,000 years since your ancestor Lao Tzu, is it only this 1,000 households? Or is there another place to live in other places?"

The old boy said: "Yes! There are only so many! The ancestors advocated small countries and widows, which naturally did not allow them to have children on a large scale; therefore, most of the family members were in the same lineage. ”

I see! The simple idea of a small country and a widow actually needs family planning.

When it comes to this aspect. Mai Ke had a lot of questions to ask, but he kept his curiosity under control, they still had business to do.

Mai Ke suddenly thought that since these two families contributed to the advent of the Tao Te Ching, perhaps they still have the authentic manuscript of Lao Tzu!

The old boy let Mai Ke into a house with a little bigger in the middle, and after entering, each person was given a straw mat and sat directly on the ground.

The old boy told everyone that this was the largest house in the family. It is mainly used for family meetings, and today I invite you to come, in fact, for the first time in history, to invite people from outside the family to enter the family area.

"Mai Ke, you and your people have a certain understanding of our family, because your answer is in line with the Tao of the ancestor Lao Tzu to a certain extent, so I make an exception to invite you to come to our clan as a guest; Mai Ke, you. Or your companion, I'll ask you three questions. If the answer you give meets our standards, I'll give you something to do for you, hear me?"

"What's it, what's it?" asked Li Xiucheng, who was so young after all.

"What's it? Of course it's a good thing, it's unique! Of course it's a good thing, it should be something you can't do, and we can succeed if we go out. I won't tell you what it is! If you win, something will be given to you. If you ask me to do a good job for you, you don't have to say anything, and if you lose, let alone say it!

"Well, you're right, so be it!" Li Xiucheng fell silent depressedly.

Several other people on Mai Ke's side, in addition to Li Xiucheng, Gavin, Wei Li, Mu Teng'e, E Shun'an, Fu Anjian, Host Zhishen, Tusi Shan Hu, Fu Anjian and Host Zhishen are more familiar with the "Tao Te Ching", and the rest have read it.

And Fu Anjian and Zhu Zhishen, one is a student of Confucius and Mencius, and the other is a student of Buddhism, and their understanding of Taoist classics is essentially the level of understanding of their class at that time.

The core is to find the part that everyone can accept, and then accept it, that is, the monks and Taoists infiltrate each other, you have me, I have you, forming a big hodgepodge.

Of course, the original "Tao Te Ching" does not mean this, so don't be ugly in front of the old boy with a red seedling.

Therefore, everyone's eyes are on Mai Ke, and only he can answer the question!

However, while holding on to hope, everyone's confidence in Maike is seriously insufficient!

You're good at other things, you can't even be proficient in these side ways, right?

"Question 1: The first sentence of the Tao Te Ching mentions the Tao and also mentions the name, so what is the relationship between the Tao and the name?" the old boy asked.

The answer to this question depends on the understanding of the words 'Tao' and 'name'. According to Lao Tzu's own description in the Tao Te Ching, 'Dao' is the primordial and most fundamental existence of all things in the universe, and Lao Tzu called this thing 'Dao', and all things in the world are produced from this 'Dao'.

"'Name' is the name, it is the original and fundamental existence that reflects this existence, and its name is the 'Tao'.

Therefore, the relationship between 'Tao' and 'name' is that they speak of the same thing, Tao is the actual existence, and the name is the title of the actual existence, that is, the description of the existence given under the premise of people's understanding. ”

Mai Ke's words not only made those who didn't understand the "Tao Te Ching" suddenly realize, but even the old boy himself, but also suddenly enlightened.

That's exactly what the old boy was taught, but not as clear and easy to understand as Mai Ke.

Shocked, the old boy muttered, "Who is the old boy? Why do you seem to be an outsider more like me?"

He shook his head, and came on!

"Question 2: What is the general purpose of the Tao Te Ching, that is, what is the general direction it points to?"

Unexpectedly, Mai Ke grinned and said: "This is simple! Why is it called the Tao Te Ching? Because it contains two contents, one is 'Tao' and the other is 'Virtue', and the two together are 'morality'." As mentioned earlier, the Tao is the fundamental existence of this world, and the most fundamental meaning of "virtue" is 'getting', 'getting' what, 'getting' 'Dao'! And the subject of this 'getting' and 'Dao' is man! Man gets 'Dao', that is, he has 'virtue'! Therefore, man has 'Dao', and with virtue, he becomes a virtuous person, that is, 'Dao' extends to man's body, and the purpose of the Tao Te Ching is realized! In other words, man has virtue, which is the embodiment of Tao in man!
