On the question of the origin of human beings, there have always been two camps: materialists and idealists. And the Idealists! The camp is the largest, and it is also the longest.

Since human beings have come to understanding, because science and technology are not developed, they do not understand the earth and the universe, so they believe that people and all things are created by gods. There was a fear of the gods, and thus there was a sacrifice.

Materialism is a rising star, but! But he was brutally attacked, believing that this was a great disrespect to the gods and was going to bring disaster.

So! Although materialism also existed very early, these early human sages did not dare to preach and preach openly due to pressure from the outside world. But! On a small scale, there is still transmission.

Can't spread it fairly, and can't communicate behind it? Isn't it? People who think the same way, and don't communicate behind their backs? When three or five friends talk together, don't communicate together?

Lao Tzu's preaching to Confucius and materialism was also carried out under this circumstance.

The reason why Lao Tzu's Tao is very "divine" is not that Lao Tzu can't explain the Tao clearly. But! Can't explain it properly. If the Tao had been explained in a materialistic way, he would probably have died because of it. It will be thought that you have offended the gods, which is extremely disrespectful, and it is strange if you do not die.

So! When Lao Tzu explained the "Tao", he deliberately covered it up. Furthermore! Because you can't go back to the source, you can't explain what the original substance was? How the cosmic aspect came to be, you can only explain it in a nutshell.

Materialism is about evidence, and if your evidence is incomplete, it cannot be direct evidence. Though! Lao Tzu's explanation of the "Dao" also constitutes a chain of evidence, but it is not a complete chain of evidence after all, but only a chain of evidence that "knows the whole leopard with a spot". So! It cannot be used as evidence.

Not to mention Lao Tzu in the pre-Qin period, what about Darwin in later generations? His "Theory of Evolution" was also not recognized by that era. Isn't it? Only people who have the right mind and think with a scientific mind will recognize his "Theory of Evolution".

In fact! Before Darwin, in the pre-Qin "Lao Zhuang" period, or even earlier, our ancestors had materialism.

Lao Tzu put forward the "Tao" and gave an explanation, and Zhuangzi interpreted the Tao of Lao Tzu. Taoism is a true materialist, the ancestor of materialism. However, the academic controversy in later generations simply distorted Lao Zhuang's understanding of the Tao, and turned Lao Zhuang's materialism into idealism, nihilism, and negative thinking.

Lao Tzu spent a lot of space in the Tao Te Ching to write and describe. But! Later generations of people of other schools of thought just turned a blind eye and deliberately misinterpreted. Outcome! It's really true.

But! No matter how these historical sinners distort and make subtle changes to the text of the Tao Te Ching, they cannot change the meaning of the Tao Te Ching as a whole.

So! As long as Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" still exists and is not completely blocked, Lao Tzu's materialist views cannot be erased.

Those who deliberately distort and revise the Tao Te Ching are sinners of history. But! No matter how they distort and modify it, they will change the overall meaning of the Tao Te Ching.

As long as later generations of scholars study it carefully, combine and synthesize the whole text, they can still restore the meaning that Lao Tzu wants to express. In particular, Lao Tzu's interpretation of "Tao" cannot be changed by anyone.

No matter how you modify it, if you change some words, you will change the meaning that Lao Tzu wants to express.

What Lao Tzu means is change, evolution! Everything evolves and changes from a certain substance. This "certain substance" is the Tao. Road! It was the name he chosen.

You interpret the "Dao" in the front as a noun, and the "Dao" in the back as a word. The "Tao" in front is the origin of all things, and what does the Tao mean in the back? "The name is famous, the name is not famous", the same is the interpretation. In fact! You are chewing on words, deliberately turning the original simple things into complications and confusing the public.

Or rather! These people simply did not fully understand all of Lao Tzu's interpretations of the Tao.

If you can't understand it all, you can only take it out of context.

Lao Tzu preached to Confucius in order to explain the origin of human beings. Only by clarifying the origin of human beings can we further explain why human beings live? What do people live for?

Only by understanding why do people live? What do people live for? Only then can we choose to live the right life.

"Man and all things evolve, and man, like all things, is just a process of life! Man is a species between heaven and earth, and all things are also a species between heaven and earth. I don't need to say more, do I? Isn't it? Lao Tzu looked at Confucius and said.

"This? Be! Confucius thought about it and responded.

Lao Tzu nodded, and said step by step, "There is no need for me to say more, the species on the earth will disappear, right?" ”

"This?"

"So! The human species may disappear sooner or later! ”

"This?" Confucius listened and was reluctant to agree.

"Whether you accept it or not, this should be a foreseeable fact! It's just that! Sooner or later! ”

"Sir?" Confucius finally couldn't help it and interrupted, "You can't talk nonsense!" ”

"Why can't you talk nonsense? I'm not talking nonsense! This may be true! It's just that! Sooner or later! How many years from now, no one knows! Anyway! If we look at the lifespan of human existence, it is conceivable that we can exist indefinitely.

Am I not? Do you learn from other things?

Aren't other species gone? Maybe? It's not gone yet, it's just that it's not in front of us! But! Is it recorded in the history books? There are a lot of varieties that are missing! I'm making my argument from that point of view! ”

"Sir!" Confucius interrupted anxiously: "If the world knows that human beings have a short lifespan, won't it become a pot of porridge?" That is more dangerous than the princes fighting for hegemony among each other, and the world will only be more chaotic! ”

Lao Tzu looked at Confucius, who was anxious, and said, "I didn't say that human beings will be gone soon, am I not?" Making the right predictions? ”

Confucius ignored Lao Tzu and continued, "In this troubled world, the world is already living a difficult life, if I heard that human beings are about to be gone, or! Sooner or later, it's going to be even more chaotic? There was no hope in life in the first place, but now it's good, and there is no hope, and they don't give up on themselves and do nonsense? So! The world will only be more chaotic? ……”

Seeing Confucius's radical thinking mode, Lao Tzu shook his head regretfully.

But he interrupted, "Didn't I make a reasonable prediction?" Is this something to be predictable? Isn't it? Furthermore! Didn't I say that? It's just a matter for the future, and I don't know how many years it will exist? Isn't it?

Humans have been around for so many years, for thousands of years, right? And what about the years before there is no historical record? Maybe tens of thousands of years will be more than that. Right now! Isn't it okay? Isn't it?

I think! The question is not how many years the human species will survive in the future, but! Humanity's own business! You look at these troubled times, don't you? It's not that species are going to die out and disappear naturally, but! Human cannibalism is the most terrible! Alas! ”

Looking at Confucius's radical thinking mode, Lao Tzu shook his head helplessly again.

"Sir! This is no joke! If this thing gets out, it's going to be a big problem! Mr! Confucius looked at Lao Tzu with a worried and kind look and reminded.

"Thank you for your kindness! Hill! Alas! Am I not? Am I reading it to you? How did you come up with this? Am I not? Does it make you understand life? You can't understand life, how can you educate others? What do you take to educate others?

It's still the same sentence! A life that doesn't understand 'why people live and what people live for' is a life of confusion. Why don't we reflect on the question of why people live and what do people live for? Blindly pursuing, pursuing eternity, isn't it very ignorant? Isn't it?

Furthermore! How long can humans survive as a species, and that's not something we really care about? Because! At least! How many decades can we live? This should be no problem!

So! I think! Let's solve our survival problem! We can't live anymore, we live very hard, we live in ignorance, so why should we care about the inconsistency of how long the human species can exist?

I can't take care of the things in front of me, and I still worry about what will happen in thousands of years, isn't it the same ignorance? ”

"Am I not?" Confucius defended: "If this news spreads, the world will surely panic!" It will cause chaos in society! Mr! I mean it! Mr! ”
