Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, commonly known as the five-thousand-character mantra, the author's name is Li Er and Li Dan. When www.biquge.info I was reading the history of the wild in the past, I learned that Confucius commented on the character Dan in this way: Dan, soaring in the sky like a flying dragon, as unpredictable as a fairy, and Li Dan is such a person. Li Er rode a green ox out of Guguan and left behind the Taoist masterpiece Tao Te Ching, which is the originator of Taoist philosophy. In this 5,000-word mantra, I have carefully browsed a part, the fifth chapter of the Tao Sutra: Heaven and earth are unkind and all things are used as dogs, and saints are unkind and people are dogs. In this chapter, I give my first thoughts on my own understanding.

Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, and the saints are unkind to the people as dogs, explaining that heaven and earth do not care about mercy, it has no benevolence, and treats everything like dogs, and dogs are the tributes used in ancient sacrifices, and it will only let all things die by themselves. If the saints are not charitable, they will also treat the people like dogs, leaving them to their own devices. I think this is the law of nature, there is no love or goodness between heaven and earth, only the rules of heaven and earth. However, in the period of slave feudalism at that time, even if there were saints, it was impossible to care about the principle, and it was just a school of being propagated by later generations and judging the situation. What is benevolence, benevolence, benevolence, or benevolence? Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and I think that heaven and earth have never been benevolent, nor have they ever been unkind, but they have just progressed in an orderly manner according to the rules of the universe itself. In fact, a saint can be compared to the ruler of a real country, but now the common people in society live in peace and contentment and live a prosperous life, so I am merciful to say that a saint. And there is no help between heaven and earth, and there is no entrapment. Confucianism often says that heaven and earth have benevolence and breed all things, while Lao Tzu says that heaven and earth do not care about benevolence and do not care about unkindness. Heaven and earth gave birth to all things, and they did not want to get anything back. And in today's society, people often have conditions attached to it, hoping for something in return. So Lao Tzu said that people should imitate heaven and earth. Heaven and earth gave birth to all things, but he did not take credit, heaven and earth gave life to all things, he did not think that he was glorious, and heaven and earth did good deeds, so that all things were endless. But in the real society, I think we will always be like dogs in heaven and earth, and a great man once said: Man will conquer heaven, but in natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods, are we really capable of resisting them? Aren't we people like dogs in the natural laws of heaven and earth? Aren't we like chickens, dogs, cows, and sheep? The Tao Te Ching has been passed down through the ages, but I see that foreign countries have carried forward our Chinese civilization. For example, there are many animal protection organizations in foreign countries, and they love animals as much as they love people, and these civilizations have only gradually been introduced to China in recent years. People abroad know that heaven and earth are unkind, that humans and animals are a kind of all things, and that the coexistence of humans and animals in this world is a struggle against heaven and earth. I remember someone once said that you can see how civilized a country is by looking at how it treats animals. Based on this, I think that the civilization of our ancestors has been sublimated by outsiders.
