Chapter 955: Heaven and Man are One
Seeing Teacher Duan's reaction, many people came to their senses, could it be that Chen Tianyang deliberately grandiosed in order to attract Mr. Duan's attention?
Thinking of this, many people secretly scolded Chen Tianyang for being shameless.
Chen Tianyang said: "You just said, 'Taishang, I don't know what is second, I am second to reputation, second to fear, and insulted', saying that Lao Tzu is warning the ruler to rule by inaction, this kind of argument is contrary to the original intention of the Tao Te Ching.
Don't you know, the "Tao Te Ching" discusses the essence of the "Great Road", and every sentence is basically related to the "Great Road", but the Great Road is mysterious and unpredictable, and it is difficult to accurately describe it with pen and ink, and the "Tao Te Ching" uses a lot of metaphors and code words, so everyone is at a loss, and wants to use secular governing methods to force the "Tao Te Ching" on it, which is just far-fetched. ”
"Oh? What do you think this means? A flash of surprise flashed in Teacher Duan's eyes.
Chen Tianyang said confidently: "The subject of this sentence is not the ruler, but the Great Dao. For example, if you take heaven and earth as an example, 'the Tao is in heaven and earth, and heaven and earth do not know that there is a way, but they can attain the Tao.
The people who are inferior to the realm are those who diligently pursue the Dao, get close to and praise the Dao, and so on, and the worst is the person who insults the Dao, just like another sentence in the Tao Te Ching, 'When the corporal hears the Tao, he laughs, and not laughing is not enough for the Dao', and the people at the lowest level of the realm do not understand the subtleties of the Dao, but make mocking words. ”
There was silence in the classroom, and they all fell into thinking, and they all felt that what Chen Tianyang said made sense, at least, it was more in line with the context than Teacher Duan's explanation just now, and it could also corroborate with other sentences in the Tao Te Ching.
The look of surprise in Mr. Duan's eyes became more and more intense, and he had to admit that what Chen Tianyang said was very reasonable, at least he could justify himself.
She groaned slightly and continued: "Since you are talking about heaven and earth, I remember that there is another sentence in the Tao Te Ching, 'Between heaven and earth, it is still a dragon? Void but unyielding, moving and getting more and more. It is better to keep the middle than to talk too much'.
Heaven and earth are like a big bellows, it seems to be empty but not endless, the more the wind is stirred, the more it is used, and it is used as a metaphor for the faster the ruler's decree is issued, the faster the defeat will be, it is better to maintain a state of emptiness and tranquility, isn't this talking about the method of governing the country? ”
Chen Tianyang chuckled lightly and said: "Your sentence is wrong again, between heaven and earth is a big bellows, between the bellows push and pull, there is a wind up and down, which means that between heaven and earth, there is yin and yang up and down."
The so-called 'unity of heaven and man', the universe is a big world, the human body is a small world, since there is yin and yang between the universe and the world, the human body is naturally no exception, between a person's breath and a breath, there is a circulation of qi and blood, corresponding to the yin and yang of heaven and earth, so 'Lu Gong' refers to the breath of people.
As for 'the void is not yielding, but the movement is more and more promising.' When you open your mouth to speak, your spiritual energy will be dissipated in secret, and you will naturally maintain a state of emptiness and tranquility. ”
Everyone was surprised, it was the first time they had heard this kind of explanation, but they had to admit that it was definitely more in line with the context than Mr. Duan's explanation, and for them, it seemed to open up a new world.
He Xianglin was dumbfounded, wouldn't it, Chen Tianyang could even fully understand such an obscure book as "Tao Te Ching"?
Teacher Duan became more and more surprised, what Chen Tianyang said was impeccable, at least, she couldn't find a place to refute, could it be that Chen Tianyang's explanation was right?
couldn't help but feel a little curious about Chen Tianyang, a "student".
Seeing Teacher Duan who was in deep thought, Chen Tianyang continued to point out the country and promote the words, and said: "You said earlier that philosophy is the most fundamental origin of the universe, so there is no real philosophy in China, but on the contrary, the Chinese ancestors not only discussed the origin of the universe thousands of years ago - the 'Great Dao', but also looked up at astronomy, looked down on geography, took all things from close to the body, and took all things from afar, and created various methods to apply the 'Great Dao' to themselves, in the hope that they could attain the Dao.
