What do you mean, quiet far away and empty?

Quiet and far away, empty and extremely quiet, means that only by being quiet and investing can we accumulate wealth and make little money. Doing something makes my mind in an absolutely certain state, so that when everything happens in parallel, I can observe the law of things going round and round with this mentality.

Quiet and far-reaching source:

Zhuge Liang's "Commandment" said: "Indifference means no ambition, and tranquility is not far away.

This is how people with moral cultivation exercise themselves. They perfect themselves with inner peace and cultivate their noble character with thrift. Without a clear heart and desire, you can't be clear and firm in your ambition, and without stability and tranquility, you can't realize your lofty ideal.

Virtual extreme static source:

From chapter 16 of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. The original text is: "to the virtual pole, wait and see. Everything is working together, and I will see it recover.

Translation:

I keep my mind in an absolutely certain state, so that when everything happens in parallel, I will use this mentality to observe the law of things going round and round. This is Lao Tzu's way of telling the world to seek Tao. What is Tao? Tao is the operating law of the objective world and the internal driving factor of nature.

Introduction of works

Ji Xu and Du Jing are from Chapter 16 of Lao Zi's Tao Te Ching.

Tao Te Ching, also known as the True Classic of Morality, Laozi's Five Thousand Words and Laozi's Five Thousand Articles, was a work before the separation of the pre-Qin philosophers in ancient China, and was highly praised by the philosophers at that time. This legend was written by Laozi (Li Er, a native of Luyi, Henan Province) in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is an important source of Taoist philosophy.

Tao Te Ching is divided into two parts. The first part of the original text is the Tao Te Ching, and the second part is the Tao Te Ching, without chapters. Later, it was changed to the Tao Te Ching in the first 37 chapters, and the Tao Te Ching in the last 38 chapters, divided into 8 1 chapters. This is the first complete philosophical work in the history of China.

The Tao Te Ching was regarded as a Taoist classic from 206 BC to 200 AD, so some scholars think that it is far-fetched to divide the Tao Te Ching into 8 1 chapters, which has obvious Taoist thought of "integrating 99 with 99".

However, the first 37 chapters of the Tao Te Ching preach, and the last 44 chapters talk about morality. Simply put, Tao is the body and virtue is the use, and the two cannot be equated. By the Qing Dynasty, Wei Yuan broke this convention for the first time and divided the Tao Te Ching into 68 chapters, which kept the integrity of each chapter relatively.
