Chapter 678: The Simple Pleasures of Taoism

After interpreting the question of whether life is interesting or not, Lao Tzu began to preach to Nangong Jing Shu and Fang Zhong.

Sermon! It is the main task of Lao Tzu's future life. Otherwise! The Taoism he created could not be disseminated.

Taoism! It is the crystallization of Lao Tzu's life.

When he was young, Lao Tzu had already found the "Tao" and put forward the theory of the Tao. But! This theory is too imperfect to justify. In old age, with the expansion of knowledge and experience, coupled with the improvement of the level of oratory, "Taoism" spread in a small area.

Preaching to Nangong Jing and Fang Zhong is completely different from preaching to Confucius.

Preaching to Xiaowa, Lao Tzu has mastered some skills.

To know! Several of the sons (princes) of the Zhou Tianzi family were his students, and he explained his Taoism to them without exception. So! He is experienced!

When preaching to the sons of Zhou Tianzi and the princes, Lao Tzu encountered the same situation, that is! The other party obviously understood his Taoist theory, but he didn't accept it. Just like Confucius! I obviously understood, but people just didn't accept it.

Who is this unacceptable prince? He is the prince of the dynasty. The Prince Dynasty, that is, the Ji Dynasty. Ji Chao is the son of Zhou Tianzi and Concubine Chu, and he is a concubine, not a concubine, and he cannot inherit the position of the crown prince and the son of heaven. But the people have the backing of the Chu State, and they are working hard behind the scenes.

This prince is extremely smart. But? Because there is something wrong with the outlook on life, the final result is conceivable.

Lao Tzu's Tao means that, everything in this world is evolved and changed. Man, like all things, is just one species. As a species, sooner or later it will disappear. So! Let's not let this make us negative about our lives. Opposite! We need to live positively.

Regardless of the future outcome of the human species, that is not what we know, nor what we have experienced. And we! At least we have our own lives, we can live to old age, and our lives have decades, right?

So! We must cherish our lives and live them well.

Alive! It's our life! to have everything. If we die halfway through, everything we had before will no longer belong to us.

You're dead, what's the use of having more money?

You're dead, and everything you once had, no matter how much you had, was useless to you. Isn't it?

You're dead, and you thought everything had been transferred to your children and grandchildren? Not really! Anyway! You don't know anymore.

It turns out that your children and grandchildren will not necessarily have what you gave them in their lifetime. For example! The Son of Heaven and the royal family. Can they have it for generations? Isn't it? Dynasties are meant to be replaced, aren't they? The king's lineage is also subject to change, isn't it?

So! Your thoughts of thinking about your children and grandchildren are also ignorant. But! Let's not think radically and ignore our children and grandchildren. But! Don't overdo it.

And also! Children and grandchildren are not stupid, and they want you, the old ancestor, to worry about them. Isn't it?

Opposite! Because you are so hoarding, occupying, plundering, and oppressing others, even if you have gained wealth or temporary happiness, those you bully will never give in. Whenever the opportunity comes, they will take revenge on you.

Therefore! You're not just tossing, you're creating social chaos.

You are not the creators of history, but the makers of evil.

So! Taoism doesn't toss anymore, just living for the sake of living, it seems that there is no meaning! It seems that it is really like that, and the more you toss in life, the more interesting it is.

Lao Tzu said it's not that simple! In fact, in addition to tossing, life is also happy and interesting.

Because! We have parents, elders, children, descendants, spouses, brothers and sisters, can we live together as a family?

Parents and elders love their children and offspring, this is a visible joy! You can just walk around the outside and see this kind of family fun! Isn't it?

Isn't there any joy between spouses? Before marriage, there is the joy of love. After the wedding photo, there is simple happiness. Afterwards! With children, we also have family fun.

And also! Isn't there happiness with siblings?

We grew up together and helped each other, isn't there a kinship between brothers and sisters?

Who said life has to be tossed? There is no happiness without tossing? Especially in these troubled times! In order for us to survive, if the family is not united? It's hard to survive. What can you say? Life is not interesting?

Fighting with the sky, the fun is endless. Fighting with the ground, the fun is endless. Fight your enemies and have a lot of fun. Can you say that there is no joy in life? Can you say that life is not meaningful, and we have to give it meaning?

Do we want to give meaning to life? Opposite! As long as we want to live, life is interesting. Unless! You don't want to live anymore, then! Your life will be meaningless.

Under Lao Tzu's interpretation, Nangong Jing and Fang Zhong were both stunned. No! It's fascinating.

Seeing that the two understood and accepted it, and did not refute, Lao Tzu was very happy. I feel that education still has to start from the baby.

It is much easier to train these little babies with a blank sheet of paper than to train those smart people.

He preached to Confucius, especially laboriously. As soon as he said a word, Confucius argued with him. After he finished talking about a topic, I don't know how many times Confucius diverted it.

If he didn't have a certain amount of experience in oratory, and he didn't have an outline, he really couldn't continue his speech, so he was mixed up by Confucius.

The same is true of preaching to the prince! People obviously understand, but they just have too deep prejudices and are unwilling to accept it. It's not that I didn't understand, but! People are deliberately trying to argue with you.

The youngest son of Zhou Tianzi's family, the little prince, although he is young, he is a ghost, and he can listen to his preaching.

Ji Meng, the second son of Zhou Tianzi's sister-in-law, is also the spare tire prince, and he is also very smart. But he was indoctrinated with unhealthy thoughts since he was a child, and as a result! It is also the same that does not accept his Taoism.

People can understand his Taoist theories, but they don't want to accept them. If you are too prejudiced, you think that your philosophy of life is right!

"That's all you need to remember! Survive! Alive! It's all about being alive! That's right! To live is to live, not to toss around. Someone else influences you alive, then! You can't just sit idly by, you have to fight.

It's a personal point of view, you're going to fight.

If you're a parent! You are the pillar of the family! So! In order to live, you have to stand up. It's not just about fighting for your own life, it's about fighting for your family's life.

If you are the patriarch, you will fight for your family!

If you are a king! You will go and fight for your vassals.

If you are the Son of Heaven, you must think about the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Anyway! Everything, everything! It's all just to live! ……

Taoist! It's also going to fight! To live! We're going to fight! ……”

Under Lao Tzu's interpretation, Nangong Jing Shu and Fang Zhong both nodded their heads in agreement like adults. It's true! Lao Tzu is so right!

"I'll tell you at the end! Don't say that you are doing it for the sake of humanity, then you are doing it for the future of humanity. All in all! It's all about survival! Plainly! It's just to live! It's just the process of completing this life! ”
