Reflections after reading "Tao Te Ching"

After reading a classic, what did you learn? It's time to calm down and write down your thoughts after reading. But what are the requirements for reading the review? The following is my review of the Tao Te Ching for your reference. I hope it can help friends in need. Thoughts after reading the "Tao Te Ching" 1

The Tao Te Ching is divided into thirty-seven chapters of the first part of the "Tao Jing", forty-four chapters of the second part of the "De Jing", and eighty-one chapters of the last chapter. It is the Spring and Autumn Period. The Taoist works written by Laozi (also known as Li Er) are the main sources of Taoist thought.

As the "Tao Te Ching" that fully embodies the charm of ancient Chinese simple dialectics, this book expounds Taoist understanding of the origin of the universe and the laws of the origin, development, change, and destruction of all things. It is broad and profound, and has a profound meaning. With his myriad words, he should be called the "King of All Scriptures".

"Everyone in the world knows that the beautiful is beautiful, but it is evil; everyone knows that the good is good, but it is not good. Therefore, existence and non-existence are related to each other, difficulty and easy are complementary to each other, long and short are complementary to each other, high and low are tilted to each other, and sounds are related to each other. Harmony, follow each other. This is because the sage does nothing and teaches without saying anything. Go.”

This chapter mainly explains the dialectical relationship between all things in the world that complement each other and transform into each other. Existence and destruction, difficulty and simplicity, slenderness and stubbyness, nobility and inferiority, advancement and backwardness are all reflected through mutual opposition and comparison.

All concepts and values ??in the world are artificially set, and value judgments are generated by comparison, so the relationship between opposites changes. Therefore, value judgments also change. Everything in the world is produced by the opposition of two pairs. As stated in "A blessing in disguise", one thing has a good side and a bad side, and vice versa. Good and evil, beauty and ugliness, we must deal with them calmly and not let others disturb us.

The second half accurately discusses Laozi's social and political thought of "inaction" based on the principle of "Tao follows nature", showing that Laozi conforms to the nature of nature, opposes the basic attitude of doing nothing for good things, and allows all things to grow and develop naturally. , imitate nature and follow the road. Thoughts after reading "Tao Te Ching" 2

"Heaven and earth last forever. The reason why heaven and earth last forever is because they do not generate themselves, so they can live forever. This is because the sage follows his body and comes first; outside his body, his body exists. It is not because of this. Selfless evil? Therefore, it can be selfish. "It means that heaven and earth last forever. The reason why heaven and earth can last is because they do not live for themselves and exist naturally, so they can last forever. Therefore, it is said that the saint puts himself behind, but is praised, and puts himself out of consideration, but preserves himself. Isn't this precisely because the saint is not selfish? That's why he can become himself.

Inaction is a state of mind, a kind of cultivation, and it is dialectical. From Laozi's point of view, promoting inaction to society will help stabilize the country. However, from the perspective of historical development, one-sided inaction will not help the progress of mankind. Therefore, it is important for contemporary young people to understand the ancient theory of inaction. We should look at it in two in a dialectical way, "follow the good ones and change the bad ones." When dealing with competition, we must dare to meet challenges, read and take notes. When dealing with failure and inequality, we must Repay with a normal mind and use appropriate methods to change or adapt, rather than blindly fighting for fish and fish to the death. This will help protect yourself and achieve ultimate success. Only accumulation will flourish. Similarly, "wu wei" is used in dealing with people in the contemporary world, which means to be tolerant to others. "The sea embraces all rivers, and it is great to be tolerant. It is great to stand on a wall, and material desires are strong." After reading the "Tao De Jing" 3

"The Tao Te Ching" is a book about the philosophy of the universe and life, including materialism and natural inaction. , the philosophical thought that heaven and earth are not benevolent, is known as "the essence of Taoism and the foundation of philosophy." The Tao Te Ching can inspire wisdom in life, and even today, we can still draw some lessons from it.

The whole book of "Tao Te Ching" has only 5,000 words, so it is also called "Five Thousand Words". It mainly elaborates on the profound principles of various disciplines around "Tao" and "Virtue". The content is very rich and all-encompassing, ranging from astronomy and geography to social life. The basis of many thoughts in ancient times came from Lao Tzu's thoughts. Many people in our society today like to read the Tao Te Ching, which also reflects the great charm of this book. The "Tao Te Ching" expounds many thoughts and theories, and the principle that things must be reversed when they reach their extremes left a deep impression on me. It really surprises me to think that I could understand it so thoroughly thousands of years ago.

Things must turn to their extremes, which means that when things develop to extremes, they will develop in the opposite direction. This is an eternal truth and the great wisdom of life. Each ancient dynasty experienced its initial establishment, peak and decline, which had a lot to do with the rule of the emperor. When the emperor's extravagance and lust reached a certain level, and the people were oppressed to a certain extent, they all rose up to resist and overthrew the rule. Similarly, when a person is arrogant to the extreme, it will often lead to disaster. Lao Tzu tells us that we must be measured in our behavior and do not go too far. Once we go overboard, problems will arise. This is the law of history and the philosophy of life.

When we read the Tao Te Ching, we want to learn the wisdom of life from the sages, improve our personal structure, and take our own path in life. Therefore, a true man should be concerned with what is good and not what is weak; he should be concerned with truth and not be concerned with luxury. So go to that one and take this one. Thoughts after reading "Tao Te Ching" 4

If we embrace each other, can we be inseparable? Can a baby be born if he specializes in qi and becomes soft?

Sometimes it is difficult to concentrate on things. I tend to do this thing and think about that thing - when I am studying, I think about playing later; when I am in class, I think about what I will have for lunch... I am often absent-minded and achieve nothing in the end. Don’t we ever have a moment when we are “specialized and gentle”?

That’s not necessarily the case. Thinking back to when we were babies, when we were playing with our fingers with relish and gnawing at our feet intently, no matter how noisy there was around us, we ignored it and concentrated on it. Isn’t this what “specializing in energy leads to gentleness”?

In the middle of class, if you look at the big trees outside the window, look at the people on the street, or think about something, your mind will fly away, and you will not learn anything in class. The same goes for being in a daze. I tried it once, but it wasn't long before I was found out. Because at that time, my eyes would be blank, staring in one direction. We are different now than we were in the past: when we are doing something, the impact around us, even if it is slight, is enough to make us irritable and even distracted. Perhaps, only those saints and those who have attained the Tao can do it. It is already difficult for me, who already understands some worldly truths, to achieve the goal of "holding the soul together and focusing on the energy to be gentle".

When we are affected or distracted while doing something, we might as well think about this sentence. Work hard in the direction of "holding the soul together and focusing on the softness". Maybe one day, you and I will be able to do it. Thoughts after reading "Tao Te Ching" 5

Today I just finished a big dinner at my grandma's house and walked home alone.

When I reached a corner, I suddenly found a man standing in the corner with a cigarette in his mouth. The moon hung high, and the moonlight illuminated his figure. His hair color was red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, and he was dressed in a strange outfit. I concluded that he was a gangster.

So I hesitated and dared not move forward. At this moment, a primary school student appeared in front of me. The gangster stopped him, stretched out his hand, and said with a wicked smile: "Boy, do you know what this means? I don't have money to spend, please give me some money." Looking at the scared look of the primary school student, I really wanted to He rushed up and kicked him to the east gate to pick up vegetable scraps.

But think about it: Today's gangsters can do anything. If I didn't finish him, I would roll my eyes, stretch my legs, and go to the Western Amusement World. That would be too inappropriate. Let’s do the math. I went around and went home.

Another night, the same place, the same gangster under the same moon. This time, he stopped a middle school student. I thought I could never let him go this time. Just as an uncle came out of the store, I hurriedly pulled him and said, "Uncle, there is a gangster there who is robbing money." After hearing this, the uncle dropped his things, said thank you to me, and rushed forward. The gangster was caught in a few moments, and the uncle took out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed the gangster's hands. Only then did I realize that this uncle was a policeman!

On the way home, I looked at the moon and felt that today’s moon was particularly beautiful. Thoughts after reading "Tao Te Ching" 6

Interpreting the true meaning of Laozi's "Tao Te Ching" can enable us to emancipate our minds, change our understanding of the world, and give up many outdated and backward ideas that have been inherited for thousands of years. , do things without leaving any consequences for yourself and society. Only by freeing yourself from the dualistic thinking mode and looking at the world from a full perspective of oneness and same vision can you have real lasting happiness and true complete freedom.

"The Great Way to Simplicity - The Enlightenment of the True Truth of the Tao Te Ching" can lay the basic skills of life and solve various pain and confusion problems in different periods of life. This version of the translation is clear, accurate, concise and easy to understand. It goes beyond the previous literal translations and fully expresses Lao Tzu's true wishes, thereby dethroning Mr. Lao Tzu from the "altar" and allowing the people to truly understand Lao Tzu's wisdom. If you embrace the truth, the path of life will not be biased, and the ship of life will have the right direction. The truth is simple and applicable to everyone.

People from all walks of life who have read the version of "The Great Way to the Simple" strongly recommend the book "The Great Way to the Simple - Inspiration of the True Truth of the Tao Te Ching", which integrates Laozi's thoughts with real life and organically combines them. It is both profound and philosophical, and has guiding significance for parents and children in their work, study, and life. After reading and studying it, I am deeply inspired and benefited. I recommend that more parents and students learn this book and draw wisdom from it. and strength!

The most beautiful thing in the world is the beauty of inaction, the beauty of selflessness, and the beauty of the soul. I hope you can also understand Lao Tzu's thoughts, find a peaceful harbor for your soul, let the "Tao" of life be unfettered, and live a contented life in ordinary days. Thoughts after reading "Tao Te Ching" 7

When my father and I visited Hua Nu Spring, we saw a book called "Tao Te Ching". I think this book should be very important to me. It was helpful, so I begged my father to buy it for me. After I opened it and read it, I realized that "The Tao Te Ching" is an immortal work of Lao Tzu, a philosophical poem with profound meaning and refined meaning. This magical book, known as the "King of All Scriptures", has had a profound impact on philosophy, science, politics, religion and other aspects of ancient my country. It has played an immeasurable role in shaping the character of the Chinese nation and in political unification and stability.

The "Tao Te Ching" is the intellectual crystallization of our ancient civilization and a treasure house of knowledge. It is like a vast ocean and has all-encompassing contents. It not only contains profound philosophy, but also contains natural science and social science. , human body science, thinking science, system science and other basic materials in many aspects. This book mainly talks about "Tao", "Ke Dao", "De" and "Xia De". There are 5,000 words in one book. In the end, it comes down to people. "Ren" is the representative of Tao, and "people" Only by gaining the Tao and becoming one with the "Tao" can we become a person who is beneficial to nature, society, others, and ourselves.

, be kind to people and things, let human beings have a kind heart, and live in harmony with people, things, and nature! After reading "Tao Te Ching" 8

The growth and development of all things on the earth, the prosperity of natural vegetation Dryness, ebb and flow, the alternation of day and night; the law of the jungle in the animal kingdom; the evolution of human beings and the development of society are all inseparable from "Tao".

What is "Tao"? Since studying Laozi's "Tao Te Ching", I have understood the "Tao". It turns out that "Tao" is the law.

The grass sprouts in spring and withers in winter, but it quietly scatters the seeds on the ground and quietly waits for them to sprout again in the coming year; the tide rises and falls due to the movement of the earth's crust; Day and night change regularly due to the rotation of the earth...

Everything in the world is constantly changing in cycles according to its own laws. What impressed me most was the pattern of water. In Chapter Seventy-Eight, there are two sentences: There is no one in the world who is soft and weak as water, and no one who attacks the strong can win, and there is no easy way to defeat it. The weak overcomes the strong, the soft overcomes the strong, no one in the world knows how to do it.

Yes! Water seems to be the weakest thing. If you use it correctly, it will benefit mankind, but if you attack it, you may not win. It is the "flood demon" that people call it.

A little bit of rain and dew gather into streams, creeks into rivers, and rivers into the sea. The seemingly weak water is because of its humility and self-improvement It has become stronger. Water is both soft and strong, and can overcome everything.

The Tao Te Ching also teaches me many principles of life. I understand that only by following the Tao and learning continuously can I become stronger.

As the saying goes: "Humility makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind." In the future study and life, I will continue to use this sentence to remind myself. Thoughts after reading "Tao Te Ching" 9

Among the books I have read, "Tao Te Ching" is the book that left a deep impression on me.

"The Tao Te Ching" was written by Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism. It is not a work introducing Lao Tzu's life, but a work on preaching and ethics. The whole book of "Tao Te Ching" is divided into two parts with more than 5,000 words. Chapters 1 to 37 of the first part mainly talk about "Tao", and chapters 38 to 81 of the second part mainly talk about "Virtue".

The Tao mentioned by Lao Tzu is the Tao of Heaven, which is the law of nature. I think the essence of the Tao Te Ching is to govern by doing nothing and respect the laws of nature.

When there are triumphs and disappointments in a person's life, sometimes it is inevitable that he will be trapped in them and unable to extricate himself, or he will be too proud and complacent to achieve anything, or his reputation will be ruined and he will be unable to save himself. Therefore, no matter in good times or bad times, being able to maintain a clear and rational mind is the great wisdom of life. The inspiration given to us by the "Tao Te Ching" is: Fortune lies in the presence of misfortune, and misfortune lies in the presence of blessing.

In the "Tao Te Ching", Laozi mentioned, "It is because the sage does nothing and teaches without saying anything. But I don’t live here, so I don’t want to go.” Lao Tzu believes that we should handle worldly affairs with a "do nothing" attitude of letting nature take its course. This is the teaching of silence. Follow the natural growth laws of all things in the world, without interfering with them, and do not take any things in the world as their own; contribute to the development of all things in the world, but do not take credit for it.

Inaction is a state of mind and cultivation. In today's materialistic society, everyone should maintain their nature, not lose themselves, and be content with the situation. Then we will live more relaxed and comfortable, and the society will be more stable and harmonious.

"The Tao Te Ching" is indeed a treasure of our Chinese culture. It is worthy of repeated study and research. It is a book that is often read and updated frequently. 10 Thoughts after reading "Tao Te Ching"

"Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful, but this is evil."

It does not mean that in ancient times, simple people only had beauty but no ugliness. There is only good and no evil. When they see a golden bird with colorful tail feathers, they think it is beautiful, but there was no word "beautiful" at that time. People simply felt happy. But it is also possible that some people feel happy when they see crows, and some people like the smell of flowers. There are also people in this world who like smelling smelly grass, some people like soothing sounds, and some people like strong sounds. Beauty at that time was judged by people and what people liked in their hearts. Since the word "beauty" was invented, everything has been "coded", and some future generations will accept other people's values ??without thinking about it.

It’s okay if they fit in, but if they don’t fit in, wouldn’t those people live in deception all their lives? The emergence of "names" facilitates people's understanding and description of things, but under certain circumstances it fools the world.

People in the world should be kind-hearted. "Natural selection" means that nature is developing towards a better situation, and so are humans. The satisfaction of doing evil and evil is self-destructive. To constantly work hard to satisfy yourself is energy-consuming and short-lasting. I think that no matter what kind of creature, they like to pursue the long-term path, so the inner heart of evildoers may be blinded by themselves. Thoughts after reading "Tao Te Ching" 11

My soul has become impetuous due to the intrigues and intrigues over the years... Those noble ideals and ambitions seem to be getting further and further away from me.

Although I know that this is a necessary process on the road of struggle, I still hope that those means are just means and do not let myself lose my true nature.

I have read the "Tao Te Ching" several times, and most of the famous sentences are familiar to me. However, I was too impetuous before and could not appreciate its charm... These days, I finally calmed down and really immersed myself in it. Discover that it is like a clear spring that never dries up... full of treasures, put aside your prejudices and get them at your fingertips! But its breadth and profundity make you discover your own shallowness and deficiencies!

This is the power of philosophy. It cannot solve any problems, but it is above everything else! Because it can make your mind truly strong! Don’t be fooled by the bizarre appearances! Get to the essence of things! Just as Lao Tzu said: "Go to the extreme of emptiness and remain still and sincere. All things are working together, and I observe them and return them to their original roots."

"Try your best to achieve extreme emptiness of your mind, make your life pure and unchanging, and observe the reciprocity of all things and see their origins through their numerous appearances.

" Returning to the root is stillness, which means rebirth. , the restoration is called Chang, and the knowledge of Chang is called Ming. If you don't know the normal, you will do evil in vain. If you know the normal appearance, the appearance is the male, the male is the king, and the king is the sky. Heaven is the way, the way is long, and the body is not in danger."

Seeing the essence of things clearly, the mind will be peaceful. This kind of tranquility is not stillness, negativity, nor termination. It is after understanding the fundamental laws. Wait! Waiting for the opportunity to do everything, such a person can be calm and fair! Only by being fair can he be in line with the natural way!

《Morality. "The Classic of Tao Te Ching" is like a yellow bell, which shakes the dust from my heart all at once... Thoughts after reading "The Tao Te Ching" 12

The "Tao Te Ching" is very thin, with only more than 5,000 words. It is said that Lao Tzu rode a bull. Written by Hangu, the Tao Te Ching is very thick and covers everything, including philosophy, politics, natural science, and humanities and society. It is easy to read such a book, but it is difficult to understand the language of the Tao Te Ching. Beautiful, scattered and orderly, with a sense of rhythm when reading, profound truths contained in simple examples, and highly speculative. This is one of the attractive aspects of the Tao Te Ching. Laozi elaborates on the supreme concept of "Tao" The magic of philosophy is that it has universal universality. Laozi did not understand modern physics, but he said, "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things." "This is wisdom.

Laozi's outlook on life has two basic characteristics: as far as oneself is concerned, he pays attention to cherishing the body; as far as the relationship between people is concerned, he advocates being weak and not fighting. Laozi praises the highest moral character Given water, "The best thing is like water, water is good and beneficial to all things and does not compete with it." ”

Laozi’s political proposition is “governing by doing nothing”, and his ideological and social blueprint is “a small country with few people will have hundreds of weapons but not use them, and the people will die again and will not move far away. The boat has nothing to ride on, and although there are armor and soldiers, there is nothing to display. Let people knot the ropes and use them. They like their food and dress them beautifully. They live in the Song Dynasty and enjoy their customs. The neighboring countries look at each other and the sounds of chickens and dogs are heard. "We heard that the people will not interact with each other until they grow old and die." This is the most touching passage in the whole book. This is Lao Tzu's ideal and a wise man's description of the most valuable lifestyle in his heart. I don't know if it can be realized. , I don’t know when it will be realized, I don’t know how to realize it, but it gives such a dream, which is people’s expectation for the future and people’s concern for society itself. It is very beautiful after reading "Tao Te Ching" 13

From the 16th to the 20th, I participated in the "Tao Te Ching" Charity Summer Camp held at Zhengyi School of Wansong Academy in Hangzhou. What impressed me most was one of the chapters - using water as a teacher. , observe water and gain enlightenment. Today, we will learn about the qualities of water. What are the qualities of water? Let me tell you about it now!

, Water benefits all things without fighting. Does water flow to high places or low places? You will definitely say: Yes, we must learn the humility and humility of water. If we encounter a big stone on the way down, water will flow downwards. Did it hit it? No. If it hit it, wouldn't it be like hitting a stone with an egg? You can understand it well. The human body also needs water. Seventy percent of the human body is water. . If there is no water on the earth, can we humans live for a week? Will there be life on the earth we live on? All vegetables and other plants also need water, otherwise water can also help us clean the toilet. , clean up the dirt we don’t like, but water does not ask us to give it back. This spirit of self-sacrifice and not asking for anything in return is worth learning.

So we must protect our water resources. . For example: How to make environmentally friendly enzymes? Let me tell you. We use one pound of sugar, 3 pounds of peel garbage, and 10 pounds of water in a ratio of 1:3:10. Mix together in the bottles and jars and place them in a cool air-ventilated place. Remember to deflate every day, otherwise the gas generated in the bottles and jars during the fermentation process will open the bottles and jars. You can use them after 3 months of fermentation. Of course, it is best if it is above 6 months. You can try it! It can be used to clean furniture, water flowers, etc.

Through studying the Tao Te Ching, I understand the quality of water. We cannot live without water. , we are water because we are part of nature.

14 Thoughts after reading "Tao Te Ching"

Lin Yutang once said: "Many people describe the Tao Te Ching as "broad and profound", but for an ordinary person like me, I only read it briefly in a short period of time. It’s really a joke to write an article that shocks everyone when we return to the “Tao Te Ching” that has been studied in depth at home and abroad. “However, here, I will only express my personal feelings after reading the “Tao Te Ching”.

"The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; the name can be named, but it is not famous." The first sentence reveals the issue of people's values. Different values ??lead to different life pursuits and paths to follow. Different pursuits and different paths will inevitably create different lives and societies.

Laozi wrote the chapter on morality, aiming to point out to the world the way of a saint that can avoid disasters for oneself and society. The way that can be "dao" and the name that can be named is the way that saints walk and the name that they seek. It is not the way that ordinary people walk and the name that they seek. The same life path, but two completely different ways.

1. Follow the way of the saint, that is, let nature take its course and return to simplicity.

2. Follow the way of ordinary people, that is, the way of pursuing external fame and fortune.

Different paths will inevitably create different lives and societies. This seems to be a simple proposition, but when we truly choose our own "path to sainthood," we will inevitably encounter many obstacles. In contemporary society, the pursuit of fame and fortune is too common. How many people want to truly let nature take its course and return to nature?

I am afraid that most people will hold a negative answer. However, I do not think that the Tao Te Ching is lofty, distant and unattainable. When we see through the secular scenery, maybe we will quietly watch the long flowing water. Thoughts after reading "Tao Te Ching" 15

The famous writer Lu Xun once said: If you don't read the book "Tao Te Ching", you don't know Chinese culture and the true meaning of life. The Tao Te Ching was written by Laozi. The book mainly explains "Tao". Laozi believes that all the mysteries of things come from Tao, but what is Tao and where does it come from?

A few days ago, I read the Tao Te Ching again and gained new insights and insights. What is Tao? Tao is the origin of all things in the universe. Tao cannot be explained in words, but it can be understood with the heart. Laozi once explained Tao with water. The best is like water. Water can become any shape. It is the shape of a cup in a cup. Water is the softest. It is good, but it is also the hardest. It benefits all things without fighting. This is in line with "Tao", which contains the core concept of Taoism - rule by doing nothing. Inaction does not mean not doing nothing, but not acting rashly. In dealing with others, , can adapt to various environments, can quickly integrate into them and be effective, and at the same time do not act rashly, so that you can be in a smooth state both at work and in life.

Under the modern pace of life, many people cannot truly understand the principle of inaction and blindly pursue money and wealth, etc., which will cause people’s greed to continue to expand, eventually leading to a high crime rate. If people can re-read "Tao Te Ching", understanding the "Tao" in it, one day, people's hearts can return to peace.
