"How can I?" Confucius wanted to say, "Why didn't I study it in depth?" Thinking about it or not saying it.

He knew in his heart that he was only studying the country of Lu, and he was only studying the people in his life circle, not the people in the Great Zhou world. So! His research data is limited, not comprehensive, and not representative of the people of the Great Zhou world.

The shopkeeper glanced at Confucius and looked at it with contempt.

He continued: "Don't you admit it? You're making the mistake of generalizing your mindset! Take the appearance of things as if they were substances, so! The result is wrong. Isn't it?

Right now! I'm going to tell you about a few of the 'hidden' methods of preaching!

I think! You must have heard someone preach to you before, right? Did Lao Tzu tell you? Who's that? Fang Zhong? Fang Zhong, did he preach to you? Have they preached to you that the Word's Secret is hidden?

There are three types of Taoist hidden: big hidden, middle hidden and small hidden!

What is Hide? The Great Hidden are the upper echelons of the social ranks, who are generally the kings or hereditary nobles, or the ministers below the Son of Heaven or the king. They are because of hereditary reasons, so! In the position of the Son of Heaven, the king, or the minister, the important minister.

When they understood the doctrine and theory of Taoism, they did not give up their current status and continued to be in this position.

Not really! After understanding life, after becoming a true Taoist, you must give up your current identity and live with a different identity, or go to seclusion in the mountains and forests! No!

I don't know? Why does the world understand Taoism so well? It seems that only people who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and don't hear about the world are truly authentic?

Wrong! That's not the case!

First of all: Taoists are also people! Taoism also needs to live, and Taoism also needs an identity to live. Alive! Completing the process of this life is Taoism.

So! Since our current status is the Son of Heaven, a king, a minister, and an important minister, why should we give up our current identity? Isn't it? In the position of the Son of Heaven, the king, the minister, and the important minister, not only can you live a superior life, but you can also use your power and ability to do good things for the society? Isn't it? To save the world? Isn't it?

Don't quibble with me! You probably don't understand it again, do you? The Taoism you think doesn't ask about the world, but lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, who do you listen to? Buckle a hat for Taoists? Labeling? You?

Defy? Isn't it? Then I'll explain it to you!

Taoism is reborn, isn't it? You nod your head to say yes! And then what? Taoists have to think about how to live, don't they? And then what? I am the Son of Heaven, a king, a minister, and an important minister, and I can live a privileged life, so why should I give up a privileged life and go to seclusion in the mountains and forests? Isn't it? Only when they can't get mixed up in the positions of the Son of Heaven, kings, ministers, and important ministers will they give up this kind of life.

Don't you stare at me and try to speak, and arbitrarily think: This kind of authentic person is messing around, isn't it? I don't know where you heard that? No! As true Taoists, they don't just mess around, they also want to save the world!

Truly authentic! They are a game of chess in the world! Only when the world is peaceful, can we have a small family and a happy life for individuals? Isn't it? As a true Taoist who understands life, how can he not understand this truth? Without everyone (country), where is there a small family (home)? Isn't it? Under the nest, wilted eggs? Isn't it?

So! Those Taoists who are in the position of the Son of Heaven, kings, ministers, and important ministers, they are not only content with the current superior and happy life, they will also do their best to save the world! Kongqiu! Do you understand? This is the Great Hide! Great hidden in the court!

The second type of concealment is the middle concealment! Hidden in the city! In this world, since the creation of Taoism, the number of hidden people is the largest! It is also conceivable! The number of emperors, kings, ministers, and important ministers is already small, even if all of them are great hidden, how many can there be? And the hermitage refers to those who live in seclusion in the world. How many people are there in the world? Isn't it? This base is huge, so! Naturally, there are more people in the middle of the hide, isn't it?

Who are the hidden people? In fact! I don't need to say it! People in life, as long as they listen to Lao Tzu's Taoism, as long as they understand Lao Tzu's Taoism, they can become a real Taoist. They may be someone close to me, who lives like us.

But! It's different! They are not selfish, but they are not stupidly selfless either. They are able to maintain good relationships with everyone around them and help those in need. But! They are unambiguous about the underworld forces.

Of course! When it is safe to do so, they are tolerant. When they can't bear it, they have to fight back and destroy their opponents. At this time, they were very 'cruel'. Treat the enemy like a brute, and there will be absolutely no mercy.

Don't be dogmatic with me, saying that animals are also a life. I'm talking about an analogy. Animals are an important food in the human food chain, but they are not all wiped out. You don't want dogmatic understanding, and then 'don't kill'.

The hidden people, they may be merchants, shopkeepers, craftsmen, farmers or peasant women. In a word! There are people from all walks of life, and there are all kinds of them! I won't list them all, but there may be some of them who are hidden in the middle of the walk with you as a teacher. For the hereditary aristocratic family as a steward, there may be a hidden among them.

When they understand that they are alive, they still work in their old jobs and receive a job. Why is this so? Because! They all have to live. It's not that after understanding life, you will stay away from the world, and you will live a life that does not eat the fireworks of the world. No! They are still human beings, and they have to live the same.

They are either fathers and mothers, or sons and daughters, elders, or juniors. Not only do they have to live on their own, but they also have to do their best to take care of their parents, elders, spouses, siblings, children, and those around them.

They understand that after life, they not only put their own family and clan first, but also do their best to take care of the people around them while taking care of their own family, and take care of those who are not related to them by blood but have connections in life.

Only by being friendly with people and having a good relationship with the people around you can you have someone willing to help you in difficult times.

Only by being friendly with others and having a good relationship with the people around you can we unite as one and fight the enemy together when foreign enemies invade! Do you understand? Kongqiu?

What is Hide? A large part of the people in Xiaoyin are very frustrated people in life, they have nowhere to hide, so they have to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, isolated from the world! There are also some people who are wearing the brand of Taoism, a fake Taoist, and do not really understand life, just to find a reason for their lazy life! Got it? Kongqiu?

The real hidden people are often people with high status, and they can't get along in their original positions and life circles, so they have to flee. Fleeing is to save one's life, not to fail in life.

Life is just a process of life, and being alive is the last word. If you die, your life is a failure. Got it? Failure means that life does not live to old age, not career or anything else! If you can't save your life, isn't your life a failure? ……”
