historical origin

The biography of Laozi and Han Fei in historical records: Laozi, surnamed Li, name Er, and the word Yi. Born on February 15 of the lunar calendar in 571 B.C., it was born on February 15 of the Gengchen reign. It is located in qurenli, Li Township, chenkuxian county. It is now located in Taiqinggong town. He wrote more than 5000 words and 81 chapters in Tao Te Ching. It's probably more than one hundred and sixty years old, or more than two hundred years old. At the same time as Confucius (551-479 BC), he was more than 20 years old. In 535? 527? 515? 501? 486 B.C., Confucius asked Laozi several times for advice, saying that Laozi was like a dragon.

In the Tang Dynasty, the royal family of the surname Li respected Lao Tzu Li Er as its ancestor, so as to deify the royal family of the surname Li and govern the people with the help of Lao Tzu's thought. Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, worships Taoism most. According to Zizhitongjian, in the first month of spring in the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737 A.D.) when Emperor Xuanzong was in power, the imperial court set up a doctor of metaphysics for the first time. Every year, he took an examination like Mingjing in the imperial examination, praising Taoism including Laozi's Daodejing. In the twenty fifth year of Kaiyuan period of Tang Dynasty, in the second year when the doctor of metaphysics was first established, the stone moral Scripture building was erected in today's Yi County of Hebei Province.

According to the Tianxia Yudi tablet, the Daodejing building in Yixian County was erected in the Western Kaiyuan Temple of Yixian County in the 26th year of Kaiyuan (AD 738). In the fifth year of Qiandao (AD 1169), it was moved from the magistrate Zhang Xiaoxiang to the government, and then to the present site of longxingguan in the southwest corner of the city. Longxing Temple was built in 708 A.D. in the second year of Jinglong reign of Tang Dynasty. It is a famous Taoist activity place in the north of China.

Moral Scripture

The first chapter is "Tao can be Tao, extraordinary Tao". It's a very good name. The beginning of nameless heaven and earth is the mother of all things. Therefore, there is often no desire to see its subtlety; there is often desire to see its passion. Both of them come out of the same place and have different names. They are both called xuanzhi, xuanzhi and xuanzhi. They are the door of all wonders. The second chapter is that the world knows that beauty is beauty. We all know that good is good, but not good. Therefore, it is difficult and easy to form a mutual relationship between the long and the short, the high and the low, the sound and the sound, and the front and back. It is a kind of teaching that sages do nothing and teach without words; everything works without words, is born without existence, is done without reliance, and is accomplished without dwelling. The husband lives in Ephraim, but Ephraim goes.

The third chapter does not respect the virtuous, so that people do not fight; do not expensive rare goods, so that people do not steal; do not see the desire, so that people do not chaos. It is based on the treatment of sages, empty their heart, solid their abdomen, weak their will, strong their bones. It often makes the people ignorant. Make the wise man dare not do it. If you do nothing, you will be cured.

In chapter four, Tao Chong is used as the source of all things; it is used as the source of all things; it is used as the source of all things; it is used as the source of all things; it is used as the source of all things; it is used as the source of all things; it is used as the source of all things. I don't know whose son, like the first emperor.

Chapter five: Heaven and earth are not benevolent and regard all things as cud dogs; sages are not benevolent and regard common people as cud dogs. Between heaven and earth, it is still Tu ó Yu è, empty but unyielding, moving and growing. It is better to keep to the middle than to say too much.

The sixth chapter is about the immortality of the grain God, which is called the mysterious female (P ì n). The gate of Xuan female is the root of heaven and earth. If you keep it, you don't use it frequently.

Chapter seven is everlasting. Therefore, heaven and earth can grow and last for a long time, because they do not live by themselves, they can live forever. It is the sage who comes after his body and comes before his body. Not because of its selfless evil, it can become its private.

Chapter eight: the best is like water. Water is good at benefiting all things but not fighting. It is evil of all people, so it is better than Tao. They live in a good place, have a good heart, have good benevolence, good faith, good governance, good ability and good time. There is nothing special about a man who does not fight.

The ninth chapter holds that it is better to hold it and gain it than to have it; it is better to hold it and sharp it than to keep it for a long time. If you are rich and proud, you will be responsible. The way of heaven is to retire after success.

Chapter 10: can you hold one soul without leaving? Can you knead Qi to soften a baby? Is it possible to get rid of the mystery? Can we be ignorant of loving the people and governing the country? Can the gate of heaven be opened and closed? Understand Sida, can you do nothing? It's the life of the animal. It is called Xuande to be born without being born, to do without relying on, to grow without killing.

Chapter 11 thirty spokes share one hub (g ǔ). When there is no hub, there is a car. Cuan (SH ā n zh í) is regarded as an instrument. When it is not available, it can be used as an instrument. Chisel the house (Y ǒ U) as a room, when it is not, there is room for use. Therefore, there is profit, there is no use.

Chapter 12 five colors make people blind, five tones make people deaf, five tastes make people cool, galloping makes people crazy, rare goods make people do harm. The sage is the belly, not the eye, so go there and take this.

Chapter 13 flatter or disgrace as if frightened, great trouble as if the body. What is flattering or insulting? It is said to be flattering or insulting if you are flattered, if you are surprised when you get it and if you are surprised when you lose it. What is great danger? So I have a big patient, for I have body, and I have no body, what's my trouble? Therefore, if you regard your body as the world, you can send it to the world; if you love your body as the world, you can trust the world.

Chapter 14: if you don't see it, you are called Yi; if you don't hear it, you are called Xi; if you can't fight it, you are called Wei. These three can not be questioned, so they are mixed into one. The top is not clear, the bottom is not clear. Rope can not be named, but can be returned to nothing. It refers to the state without form, the image without object, and trance. When you meet them, you don't see the first, then you don't see the second. Hold on to the way of the past and control the present. To know the beginning of ancient times is called Daoji.

Chapter 15 the ancient scholars were subtle and profound. The husband can only be recognized, so he has strong tolerance: Yu Xi is like winter wading in Sichuan, You Xi is like fearing the neighbors, You Xi is like a guest, Huan Xi is like ice, you Shi, dun Xi is like simplicity, Kuang Xi is like Valley, muddy Xi is like turbidity. Danxi, like the sea; moored, like endless. Which can make the turbid clear? Who can live a long life? He who keeps this way does not want to be rich, but he who keeps it does not want to be rich.

Chapter 16: to be empty and to be quiet (D ǔ). All things work together, so I can see and recover. All things return to their roots. In the final analysis, tranquility is the answer to fate. It's better to know what's going on. I don't know how to do it. Knowing Chang Rong, Rong is the Duke, the Duke is the king, the king is the heaven, the heaven is the Tao, the Tao is long, and there is no danger without body.

Chapter Seventeen: the supreme, the lower know it, the next close and praise it, the second fear it, the second insult it. If you don't believe enough, you don't believe enough. You Xi its expensive words, success then, the people call me natural.

Chapter 18 when the great way is abolished, there is benevolence and righteousness; when wisdom comes out, there is great hypocrisy; when the six parents are at odds, there is filial piety; when the country is in chaos, there are loyal officials.

In Chapter 19, the people benefit a hundred times by abandoning the sage and wisdom; the people return to filial piety and kindness by abandoning the benevolence and righteousness; the thieves do not exist by abandoning the wisdom and cleverness. These three people think that the text is insufficient, so they belong to it. Be modest and simple, be selfish and have few desires.

Chapter 20 no worries about unique learning, how different is it from ah? What is the difference between good and evil? People should not be afraid of what they are afraid of. What a waste! All the people are happy, like enjoying the prison, like spring on the stage. I'm alone, like a baby before it's born; I'm tired, like no home. Everyone has more than enough, but I am the only one. What a fool I am! I'm confused, I'm confused. If the layman observes, I am alone. Danxi, its like the sea, trance if endless. Everyone has it, but I am stubborn and despicable. I only (want) to be different from others, but I prefer to eat my mother. Chapter 21 the tolerance of Kong De, but the way is to follow. Tao is a thing, only vagueness but trance. In a trance, there are images; in a trance, there are objects. My (Y ǎ o) Xi Ming Xi, there is essence; its essence is very true, there is faith. From now on and in ancient times, its name has not gone, in order to read Zhongfu. How can I know the state of Zhongfu? In this way.

Chapter 22: if a tune is full, if it is wrong, it will be straight; if it is hollow, it will be full; if it is poor, it will be new; if it is few, it will be gained,
