The true meaning of inaction

"inaction" is an important concept in Taoist philosophy, which refers to an attitude of conforming to nature and not interfering with the natural development of things. Laozi put forward the viewpoint that "Tao always does nothing and does everything" in Tao Te Ching, which means that the law of Tao runs naturally and does not interfere with the natural development of things, but at the same time it is omnipotent and invincible.

Therefore, the real meaning of "inaction" is not inaction, but not forcibly interfering with the natural development of things, but governing by doing nothing on the basis of respecting nature and Taoism, and letting things develop naturally.

The concept of "inaction" also profoundly influenced China's ancient philosophy and culture and became an important part of China's culture and philosophy. In modern times, the concept of "inaction" has also been widely concerned and discussed, and has been widely used in philosophy, literature, art, management and other fields.
