Under Lao Tzu's explanation, King Zhou Jing finally understood what the Tao was.

"The Tao is the source of everything in the world, including heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the starry sky, everything, isn't it?"

"Yes!" Lao Tzu nodded with satisfaction.

A few days ago, when I told Fang Jishi, the crown prince Ji Meng, and the little prince Ji Kuo, because it was the first time to preach, I had no experience, and I couldn't understand how to speak. Outcome! The little prince said he understood. But when the little prince was asked to speak out, he said that he couldn't say it?

At that time, he affirmed the little prince Ji Kuo, saying that he understood, saying that he could only understand it, not say it. But until now, he still doesn't know, does the little prince Ji Kuo really understand?

Today! just gave a few examples, and as a result, King Zhou Jing understood.

Seemingly! This King of Zhou Jing is not simple!

The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and without those two brushes, he can't be the Son of Heaven.

"The world is changing, isn't it?"

"Yes!"

"Man is a change, and man comes from heaven and earth. And heaven and earth come from the Tao, isn't it? ”

"Yes!"

"Then I don't understand? What's the use of that? Lear? This has something to do with how to govern the country, govern the world of the Great Zhou, and how to let the people live a happy life? Zhou Jingwang asked.

Oh, yes? Does this have something to do with governing the world?

How did I come to be in charge of people? Does it come from the Tao or from the union of parents? Does this have anything to do with life?

"Yes! Lord! Yes! Lao Tzu nodded towards King Zhou Jing and replied.

"You speak!" Zhou Jingchao stretched out his hand and gestured to Lao Tzu. He believes! Lao Tzu said that there must be something, and he will not talk nonsense.

In today's Great Zhou world, Lao Tzu is the first university scholar, and there is nothing he doesn't know. The questions he can't answer today will definitely be able to answer tomorrow, and he has a good teacher - Da Zhou Library. If there is a question that cannot be answered, he can find the answer as soon as he dives into the library.

Just like people in modern society, in the Internet era, there is nothing that cannot be searched on the Internet? What Baidu can't search can definitely be searched on Google.

"We must know the origin of human beings and heaven and earth, and then think about what man lives for, and what is he living for?" Lao Tzu explained.

"What did the man live? What do you live for? Zhou Jingwang asked.

"That's something we have to think about."

Lao Tzu nodded and extended: "In today's world, most people don't think about this problem, but! Live according to the way those around you live. That is! I will live as others live! Think that's life! Person! Life!

Say! As the Lord! Great Zhou Tianzi! The Lord has the Lord's way of living! The Lord lives for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and considers it his duty as the Son of Heaven.

And the princes and kings have their own way of living, and some of them think that they are the courtiers of the Great Zhou, responsible for managing the affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, sharing the burden for the Son of Heaven, and seeking the well-being of the people. And what about some kings? They fought for hegemony, for possession of land, for more land. If there is more land, they will be able to collect more taxes, and they will be able to enjoy them unlimitedly. Some people pursue power, thinking that when they have a lot of power, they can do whatever they want.

And what about others? They just think about how to be the Son of Heaven, and then they enjoy it. How to be a prince and a king, and then go and enjoy. What about some people? They only care about enjoyment, and they live happily for a while, and they don't care about the lives of others. What about some people? Build happiness on the pain of others.

People in different environments, people in different circles of life, they all have different ideas. Because there are many ideas, there are many ideas that are wrong, as a result! It caused chaos in society.

Why? ”

Zhou Jingwang interrupted: "What is the reason? ”

"The reason is that there are too many ideas, and it is chaotic! When there are many wrong ideas, society is chaotic. Because! They don't know what people live for, they only know how they live according to what they see others do. Or! Live only according to your own ideas, thinking that this is ...... life"

Zhou Jingwang interrupted again: "What you said has nothing to do with your Tao?" Still didn't talk about how to govern society and how to govern ideological confusion? How do you unify your minds? ”

"So! We're going to tell them! Humans should follow the example of nature! Imitate heaven and earth. Don't live in a daze anymore, we must choose a rational and rational way of life, and don't live blindly and indiscriminately. Such! Isn't society governed? Isn't it? Lord? ”

"That? How can we emulate nature? Zhou Jingwang asked.

Lao Tzu explained: "This brings us to the Tao, back to the previous topic. Because! Man, like all things, comes from the Tao and from the union of heaven and earth. Man, like all things, comes from the union of heaven and earth. Human beings and all things are brothers, both are the result of the union of heaven and earth, and both come from the Tao.

Just as a person comes from the union of his parents, so he or she is a brother and sister. All things come from the union of heaven and earth, and they are all brothers and sisters. So! Man and all things are brothers and sisters.

It's not like humans don't know how to live anymore, do they? All right! We can imitate nature, we can imitate the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon. We regard all things as teachers, and the heavens, earth, the sun and the moon as teachers, and we live as they live......"

"Oh?" Zhou Jingwang nodded, feeling that what Lao Tzu said made sense. Then he asked, "So?" How can humans emulate nature? ”

"Mankind is to imitate the sun!"

"Imitate the sun?"

"Lord, do you see? Isn't that the sun? It gives us sunshine but doesn't expect anything in return! Isn't it? ”

"Hmmm! How can humans live without the sun? How do you spend the night? And also! If there is no sunlight in everything? If there is no spring, summer, autumn and winter, how can it grow? The seasons are different, with different creatures growing, all away from the sun! It is to imitate the sun and worship the sun! ”

"Because of its selflessness, the sun has achieved its good name and is worshiped by the world!"

"Hmm!"

"We will imitate the earth!"

"Imitate the earth?"

"Lord, do you see? How wide is the earth, and how broad is the heart? We plough on it, and all things grow on it, so what does it want? It does not want to reciprocate, thus achieving its good name and being worshipped by the world! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" King Zhou Jing nodded again and said, "Virtuous!" Earth! We're going to sacrifice it too! Without the tolerance of the earth, where would all things come from? ”

"We humans should imitate all things!"

Lao Tzu said: "For example, cereals, we human beings should imitate it!" From growth to maturity, they never take credit for themselves, and when they are ripe, they provide food for human beings. It's so natural, and I never say that I have any credit.

So! Humanity should emulate it, don't be arrogant, don't think you're great! If the world followed suit and did not take credit, would society still be so chaotic? ”

"Makes sense! Reasonable! The widow agrees! King Zhou Jing nodded in praise.

"Actually, life is the same! The life span is very short, only a few decades. What are we fighting for? Lao Tzu said again.

Zhou Jingwang took over the topic and said, "People are different! We only have a few decades to live, but we have children and grandchildren, right? They are prolonging our lives......"

Lao Tzu interrupted: "Actually, this is also a misunderstanding! Lord! We are who we are! Children and grandchildren are children and grandchildren! Children and grandchildren are not stupid, so we don't have to worry about their lives......"

"That's the truth! But how many people in the world understand? ”

"Actually! The facts tell us! All the efforts of the fathers for their children and grandchildren are in vain! ”

"How in vain?"

"The princes and kings are an example! After they competed for the throne of princes and kings, did they really seek the well-being of their children and grandchildren? Opposite! But it brought about the killing of children and grandchildren. Ultimately! Only one of them will benefit......"
