Translated, it is

Everything in the primordial origin of the universe only exists in "nothing", and without existence, there is no title; The state of unity is the beginning of the universe. However, when it was mixed, it was far from forming separate forms. All things arise from a state of mixed unity, which is called self-satisfaction; There is already a difference in the yin and yang qi that is received when the body is not formed. However, the intersection of yin and yang is so consistent and seamless, which is called the mandate of heaven; The mechanism by which yin energy retains yang energy and then generates all things, and all things generate life, which is called form; The body guards the spirit, each with its own trajectory and law, which is called nature. If you are good at self-cultivation, you will return to self-satisfaction, and the degree of self-satisfaction will reach the same state of perfection as at the beginning of the world. In the same way that in the beginning, the mind will be incomparably open-minded. If you are extremely open-minded, you can tolerate the vast. When you are mixed and united, you are as unintentional as a birdsong, and you are not in love or hate, and when you speak like a bird, you are in harmony with heaven and earth. The mixture is so invisible. It seems to be ignorant and it seems to be dim, this is called the profound and mysterious avenue, and it is like returning to the true and everything is returned to nature.

Ancient philosophical categories

Ancient philosophical categories that represent the origin of the world.

1. Chinese philosophy

In ancient China, "Tai" was also written as "Da" or "Tai", and "Yi" or "B". "Tai" is the first and highest, and "one" is the only one that has no pair and mixed one is not divided. Zhuangzi. The world calls Lao Tzu's doctrine "the Lord is Taiyi", and "Taiyi" is Lao Tzu's so-called "Tao", also known as "nothing". He said, "Everything under heaven is born of being, and some is born of nothing." "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things." "One", "two", and "three" are all "have". His doctrine of the Word has the implication of denying God's creation theory. In Lü's Spring and Autumn Period, "Taiyi" refers to the material origin of the world. "The Great Music" says: "Music...... Originated in the Taiyi. Taiyi comes out of two instruments, and two instruments come out of yin and yang", "all things come out, created in Taiyi, and transformed into yin and yang." He also said, "The Tao is also the most refined, not form, not famous, strong for the name, called the Taiyi." The "Dao" or "Taiyi" of this "supreme essence", that is, the "essence", that is, the fine primordial substance. In the Book of Rites, "Taiyi" also refers to vitality. The Book of Rites.

Kong Yingda believes that the "Great One" is the "Taiyi", and "it must be based on the Great One, which is the vitality of chaos that is not divided between heaven and earth".

2. Western philosophy

In ancient Western philosophy, theone means single, one, without boundaries, without distinction, and as one. Plotinus, a philosopher of the Neo-Platonic school during the ancient Roman Empire, believed that everything in the world was produced by the One. The One is an absolutely transcendent God, the source and ultimate principle of all existence. It is absolutely above all thought and existence, and cannot be explained by any material or ideological properties.

The One is the absolute one, which excludes heterogeneity and distinction, motion and stillness; Nor is the One a thought, will, or activity; The One is transcendent, infinite, eternal, unchanging, has no past or future, and is always self-identical. Strictly speaking, one cannot say that the one is "so" or "not so" in terms of the prescriptiveness of being, and that would limit it. Taiyi cannot be described by words and words.

The creation of all things is not a volitional and conscious activity, but a process of emanation, from which the word "overflow" derives from Neo-Platonism. Neo-Platonism holds that God is the ineffable "One," infinitely perfect. But just as the water overflows, Taiyi itself continues to flow outward. And these outflows of divinity are also "overflows". All existence in the world is also an overflow of the Source One. It can be divided into several stages: the first outflow is the "nus", that is, the pure mind or mind, then the "nus" flows out of the soul, and finally the lowest beings flow out of the material world.

The One has no cognitive activity, not even knowing itself. But the human soul naturally has a love for the One and longs to return to the One. To do this, the soul must be detached, meditative, meditative, immersed in spiritual life, and attained the state of self-forgetfulness, merging with the One through intuition. (To be continued.) )
