[Tao can be Tao, very Tao, name can be named, very famous. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth; The Mother of All Things; Therefore, there is no desire, in order to see its wonder; Always have desire, in order to see its fate. These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. 】

This is the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching.

What does he mean?

Chen Fan explained to everyone: "The Tao, which can be spoken, is not the eternal Tao; A name, which can be called, is not an eternal name. Nothing, is the original name of heaven and earth; Yes is the name that gives birth to all things. Therefore, we always observe the mystery of the Tao from "nothingness". We often observe the operation of the Tao from the "being". These two are from the same source, just by different names. It can be said that the meaning is far-reaching. Far-reaching and far-reaching, it is the general door of all mysteries. ”

It's just that although Chen Fan explained, everyone still didn't seem to understand very much.

This is also normal.

Because there are some things that are difficult for people to understand without explanation.

For example, what is the Tao?

This time.

Some students asked, what is the Tao?

"What is the Tao?"

This question is also asked by a group of fans in the live broadcast room.

Although the word Tao has long appeared.

And there are also words such as Taoism and Taoism.

But many people don't know much about the Tao.

Chen Fan didn't explain so quickly, but came to an interaction: "I won't explain first, everyone can talk about their views on the Tao." ”

Then.

One of the students raised his hand and said, "Teacher Chen Fan, I feel that the Tao is Taoism, a method like magic. ”

Another student said, "Tao should be a formula, a technique, or something." ”

Another student said, "Dao, like Buddha, is a professional category, and Tao is a kind of Taoist knowledge." ”

For this.

Chen Fan shook his head.

"It seems that everyone doesn't know much about the Tao."

Chen Fan continued: "Just now when I was talking about Li Er's study, he asked the teacher what is above the sky and how our earth was formed. As a result, the teacher couldn't answer. Because there is no introduction in the books, and no one makes it clear to him. With this question, Li Er has been looking for this answer. After a lifetime of study, he finally understood what was in the sky. ”

"Teacher Chen Fan, what is in the sky?"

A student asked, puzzled.

"In heaven is the Word."

Chen Fan wrote the word Dao on the blackboard.

Pointing to this way, Chen Fan explained: "Generally, we divide this world into heaven, earth, people, and three talents. In other words, the whole world is simply divided, that is, it is divided into heaven, earth, and we human beings. However, what is above the sky, many people do not know what it is, and Li Er summed it up. He believes that above heaven, that is the Tao. What, then, is the Tao? ”

Although the Tao Te Ching says the Tao Te Ching in the first sentence, it is not something that everyone can understand.

Chen Fan continued: "Tao is a chaotic and undivided initial state, self-transforming without action, quiet and self-righteous, the beginning of heaven and earth, the mother of all things, and the root of all things; The Tao is ineffable, nor can human senses perceive it directly, and it cannot be seen, heard, or persistent. Tao is not only the essence of the universe, but also the rule of all things, and the criterion of life. To put it simply, the Tao is a state that comes naturally. ”

While saying.

Chen Fan made another analogy: "For example, we have an egg in our hands, and before we open the egg, it is a form of the Tao. And when the egg is opened, that's the world in which the Tao was formed. ”

This explanation immediately made everyone understand.

"I'll go, I seem to understand."

"I also kind of understand, as if I still have a little bit of understanding."

"Me too."

Quite a few nodded.

"Therefore above heaven is the Word, and the Word has made the heavens and the earth and the world. And the Tao accomplished the heavens and the earth and the world not by intention. Nor is it like the Western God, or some creator god who created the world. The Tao evolved the world, and He happened naturally. He is not interfered with by people, everything is as it is. ”

The Tao Te Ching can be said to be one of the most well-known philosophical works of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Even after thousands of years, the Tao Te Ching is still praised by countless people and studied for it.

Even.

There are also many people who have come to their senses and walked out of a different life because of this.

……

"Brother Fan, can you tell us more about the Tao Te Ching?"

"Why are you so interested in the Tao Te Ching?"

"I don't know, I'm just very interested, tell us about it again."

"It's not going to work."

"Why?"

"This is the secret of cultivating immortals, I told you, none of you can cultivate immortals."

“……”

After speaking about Chu at Wu Provincial University, Chen Fan rested for a few days.

It's just that during the break, there are a group of fans who keep asking him about the Tao Te Ching.

"Brother Fan, don't play with us, we really like the Tao Te Ching. By the way, didn't you say that the Tao Te Ching has more than 5,000 words, why did you only speak more than 100 words, and the rest? ”

"I don't know where the rest went."

"Less, you definitely have the full version of the Tao Te Ching."

"Not really."

"No, believe it or not, we reported you to the grave again."

"Well, if you have something to say, the Tao Te Ching, I do have a full version here. However, I was wondering, can this be sent out? ”

"Why can't you send it out?"

"The last time I sent out a book, I was reported by someone else, alas, you say ......"

In this statement, everyone knows that Chen Fan refers to Sun Tzu's Art of War.

However, everyone comforted Chen Fan and said: "Brother Fan, don't worry, this is not the art of war, what are you afraid of." ”

"That's right, but this Tao Te Ching is also quite powerful."

"Brother Fan, don't tell me, this is really a secret book for cultivating immortals?"

"Pretty much."

I thought about it.

Chen Fan did not continue to hide.

The Tao Te Ching is not a book like the Art of War.

This is a philosophy book.

Foreigners can't read such books.

On the contrary, it still has a lot of use for Chinese people.

Although it is not said that all Chinese people can understand the Tao Te Ching.

But it doesn't matter.

If some people understand, that's enough.

"That's okay, from today onwards, I'm going to serialize the Tao Te Ching on Quick Shake. However, let me first state that although the Tao Te Ching is not the so-called secret book for cultivating immortals, it is actually similar to the secret book for cultivating immortals. ”

Same as the Zhuangzi.

Although the Tao Te Ching is only more than 5,000 words, if it is updated, it will be over in one space.

But if the whole article is released at once, everyone can't understand him.

It's better to send out chapter by chapter, and each paragraph is sent out, and the effect is better.

said.

Chen Fan made a video and sent the second chapter of the Tao Te Ching: "Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is evil." We all know that what is good is good, and what is not good is good. Therefore, there is no symbiosis, difficulty and ease are mutually compatible, long and short are dwarfed, high and low are mutually beneficial, sound and sound are harmonious, and the front and back are followed. Heng also. It is to do what the saint does not do, and to teach without words; All things are made and the Buddha begins, is born and is born, and is born for the sake of the Buddha, and the success is not lived. Fu Wei Fuju is not going to go. ”

This is the second chapter of the Tao Te Ching.

Chen Fan did not go to translate.

However, although Chen Fan has not translated it, many people who have studied the text have already translated it.

"Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, just because there are ugly things. We all know that what is good is good, because there is evil. Therefore, there is and no mutual assistance, difficult and easy form each other, long and short tolerate each other, high and low tolerate each other, sound and sound help each other and harmonize, and the front and back help each other follow. Therefore, the saint conducts affairs with non-action, practices wordless teaching, and all things change by themselves without beginning for it. He has grown all things without taking them for himself, has nurtured all things without relying on his own abilities, and has succeeded without taking credit. It is precisely because of the lack of merit that merit will not be lost. ”

"This should be said about the governance side of the country."

"Well, it seems that Lear advocates the rule of inaction."

Many people kept commenting in Chen Fan's video area.

Chen Fan did not respond to this.

Everyone has their own comprehension and understanding of the Tao Te Ching.

Chen Fan's understanding may not be correct.

All he needed to do was send out the original Tao Te Ching.

Then.

Chen Fan went on to send out another chapter: "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. Between heaven and earth, it is still the same as the dragon? Void but not sluggish, moving and getting more and more. It is better to keep in the middle than to hear more and be poor. ”

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.

This sentence is often quoted in previous lives.

Meantime.

Every time this sentence comes out, it is extremely shocking.

And now, too.

When Chen Fan issued the sentence "Heaven and earth are not benevolent", a group of fans who were relatively calm before were extremely excited at this time.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs...... I'll go, how do I feel that this sentence is so compelling. ”

"I also feel like a sentence in some secret book."

"Hahaha, that's what I wrote, and I'll put this sentence in mine when the time comes. I have all the names in mind, and it's called "Zhu Xian". ”

"I have to pay Brother Fan royalties."

"Know, know, tip now."

said, there is really an author friend who gave Chen Fan a reward.

This is just an episode, though.

It's more about the comprehension of this sentence.

"Are heaven and earth unkind?"

"Also, how can you say that the saint is unkind?"

"The dog is the sacrificial grass dog, is there a problem with this sentence?"

Quite a few people have some doubts.

Because Chen Fan said before that saints are selfless, inactive, and kind-hearted, how could he treat all things and people as dogs?

But.

Among the many comments, some people commented: "I seem to understand." ”

"What do you understand?"

"Unkindness here should mean that it doesn't matter whether it is merciful or unkind."

"Then this is not right, doesn't heaven and earth and saints care whether they are merciful or not?"

"Yes."

"Damn, I don't understand what you said."

"Let's go back to the front, didn't I say earlier, heaven and earth and the saints all take wordless teachings for all things and people. This kind of teaching is not just a matter of words and deeds, but of going with the flow. Like our heaven and earth, He is the same for all of us. He doesn't do anything in particular, and he doesn't do anything in particular. What he did, everything came naturally. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west every day, and we have spring, summer, spring and winter every year. Therefore, this naturalness of heaven and earth and saints is not unkindness, but the greatest benevolence. ”

"Hey, I'll ...... What you say seems to be really in line with the practices of heaven and earth and saints. ”

This is not only the practice of heaven and earth and saints, but also has great reference value for our reality. For example, if you are the leader of the company, who do you take care of, or who do you not? Actually, no, the most important thing is to let everyone compete fairly. Everyone has the opportunity to participate in the competition, and everyone has the possibility of being eliminated. In this way, the competitiveness of the entire company can be stronger. ”

"I'll go, how did you come up with it, you're a genius."

The genius smiled. I also managed the company for a long time, and then I saw the sentence of the Tao Te Ching, and then I realized it. Tsk, I now understand why Teacher Chen Fan said that the Tao Te Ching may be a secret book for cultivating immortals. For me, he is a secret book for cultivating immortals. ”

Of course.

There is more to the Tao Te Ching than that.

Next, Chen Fan continued to update the Tao Te Ching:

[Forever and ever. Therefore, those who can live long and long in heaven and earth can live forever because they do not generate themselves. It is a saint: retreat from his body, and take the lead; Outside the body, but in the body. Isn't it because of its selflessness? Therefore, it can become its own selfishness. 】

[Holding on to the profit, it is not as good as it; It cannot be kept for a long time. The house is full of gold and jade, and Mo can keep it; Rich and arrogant, self-blame. After retiring, the way of heaven is also. 】

[Heavy is the light root, and quiet is the restless king.] It is a gentleman who walks all day long, and does not depart from his baggage. Although there is a view of glory, the swallow is transcendent. But the Lord of all vehicles, and despise the world? If it is light, it will lose its roots, and if it is rash, it will lose its king. 】

……

"Brothers, how do I feel that the Tao Te Ching is really a secret book for cultivating immortals."

"I don't want you to feel it, I feel it too. I've benefited a lot from just a few paragraphs. It's hateful, that is, my knowledge is shallow, and there are many things that I can't understand. It would be nice if I could understand it all. ”

"Don't be emotional, if you can understand one out of ten here, it will also benefit us immensely."

What is the Tao Te Ching?

It is said that he is a scripture, but in fact it can be said that he is a philosophical masterpiece.

What is philosophy?

Philosophy is a book that studies man and nature and sums up the laws of experience.

So there are some philosophical quotes that can influence people's lives.

And the Tao Te Ching, he is the philosophy of philosophy.

Not only does he give a complete account of what the Tao is, but he also tells you how to attain it.

Although this enlightenment is not the same as the attainment of the Immortal Cultivator.

But enlightenment and unraveling one's doubts is also a kind of enlightenment.

Thereupon.

You'll see next.

While the Tao Te Ching is constantly updated, countless fans and netizens have successively given Chen Fan gifts.

"Thank you Mr. Chen Fan for solving the puzzle that I haven't been able to solve for 20 years, and a small gift is not a tribute."

"I used to feel that society was unfair, but after reading the Tao Te Ching, I understood that heaven and earth have given us an extremely fair environment. A plane, talk about it"

"I've been in a very irritable mood lately, and I haven't been able to calm down. Until, when I read the Tao Te Ching, I suddenly realized that my previous irritability was just my own turmoil. Dao, it's really interesting, thank you Teacher Chen Fan. ”

It's an epiphany.

Although this epiphany does not come all the time.

Although this kind of epiphany, not everyone can encounter it.

But.

The moment you show up, He can really change your life.

And.

And it's not just for the average person.

For some big names, his effect is even more amazing.

In a Fortune 500 company, "Wang Hongcheng", as the head, ran into trouble.

Until.

His friend recommended him a book called the Tao Te Ching.
