Reflections on Laozi

The feeling after reading, also known as reading notes, is a commonly used applied style and one of the styles of applied writing research. Simply put, it is the feeling after reading the book. The following is the "Lao Zi Fan Wen" I compiled for you, hoping to help you.

Some people say that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were a magical era, and so many great thinkers emerged, which laid the ideological foundation of China people at once. The thoughts of Confucianism and Taoism alone have influenced China people for more than two thousand years. Since then, people can only interpret them continuously, without more innovation. Laozi is one of the great men.

Confucius once said "Laozi is still a dragon", which is Confucius' evaluation of Laozi. He also praised Laozi like this: I see, birds can fly; Fish can swim, I understand; I understand that I am leaving; But the dragon will eventually be in the sky, unpredictable and unfathomable. Kun Li is like a dragon! It can be seen that Lao Tzu is great.

Laozi's era should be in the late Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the kingly way was no good, the people's hearts were not ancient, the people were struggling for superior wealth, and the crisis was everywhere. He attributed all kinds of chaos at that time to one reason, that is, the imbalance of yin and yang. He compared beauty and ugliness, good and evil, existence, difficulty, length and competition to the balance between the governed (saints) and the governed (people), hoping to balance the world by adjusting the corresponding yin and yang politically.

Laozi expects to see the harmonious world in his imagination. He compared the previous peaceful and prosperous times with the troubled times at that time and found that all the problems were with (saints). His ideal saint is to teach by doing nothing. Just like heaven, a person biochemical everything without possession, great achievements without taking credit, and retirement after success. The people, on the other hand, should be vain, fame-seeking, profit-seeking, healthy, have food, live and work in peace and contentment.

Laozi said: "Neighboring countries look at each other, the voices of chickens and dogs hear each other, and people don't talk to each other until they die." That is to say: neighboring countries are very close, and they can see each other, and chickens and dogs can also hear each other, but everyone will not interact until they die of old age. Many people think that Laozi's thought is very closed, which is obviously a negative thought to today's society. In today's world, open communication is advocated, and Lao Tzu's thoughts are just like China's closed-door policy in the Qing Dynasty. As a result, China was beaten behind. So the idea of not dating on this day won't work.

But this idea of Laozi was put forward in troubled times. So we should understand this idea from the heart. We should understand that Laozi is emphasizing an ideal social situation, in which people are independent of each other and have their own spirit. Laozi advocates building a harmonious human society on a balanced and long-term basis, so that people can live a healthy, happy, happy and free life. Therefore, it is necessary to translate "neighboring countries look at each other, the voices of chickens and dogs hear each other, and the people are miserable until death do us part" into patriotism. This should be a more detailed understanding of this idea.

After reading Laozi, I feel that (2) doing something is my biggest feeling after reading Laozi. Dialectical "fortunes depend on each other" also comes from the classic Tao Te Ching, in which there are many philosophical idioms such as "harmony without light, turning a blind eye without hearing, the skynet is slow but not leaking, and a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step".

Tao is the origin of all things in the world. Before Laozi, people thought that everything in the universe was ruled by God, and the highest God was Heaven, the so-called Emperor of Heaven. This concept did not begin to change until the Spring and Autumn Period of great social change. Laozi was an early thinker who consciously and explicitly denied Heaven Emperor in philosophy. On the basis of Zhouyi, he further clarified that "Tao" is the origin of all things in the world. The central idea of Laozi's "Tao Theory" is: "Tao is nature, and nature is Tao". He said, "Tao" is the mother of all things: "Tao can be Tao, but extraordinary. The name can be named. It's very famous. Nothing is the beginning of the world. Yes, the mother of all things. " In other words, as the origin of the universe, Tao exists forever. The operation of Tao is free and inevitable, that is, it operates according to its own laws. Everything in the world is produced by it, and it is the mother of the universe.

Empty words-a simple life. There is a saying in the sixteenth chapter of Tao Te Ching: "Be empty and be quiet." This sentence emphasizes the cultivation of hard work and the principle of returning to silence. I understand that the so-called "to the virtual pole" means "to the virtual pole"; "Keep quiet" means "keep quiet". I think this is the basic method of monasticism. To "be empty" means to practice Buddhism, and we must strive to achieve the realm of extreme emptiness. Extreme emptiness means that the mind is spotless and close to a vacuum, that is, to get rid of secular delusions and desires. "DuDu" is sincere, and persistence is persistence. "Keeping quiet" means insisting on silence.

When a thing develops to the extreme, it will inevitably develop and change to its opposite. Therefore, to maintain its development without becoming its opposite, we must first understand its opposite, and don't let it go to extremes in the process of development. "If you want to die, you must ignore it; If you want to be weak, you must be strong; If it is to be abolished, it must be consolidated; If you want to take it away, you must stay with it-it's called Twilight. " Pretending to be weak, keeping a kind of elasticity at rest, prompting the hostile party to expand, exaggerate and even become fragile, that is, to produce a ups and downs reversal, which is really profound.

Laozi put forward a point that we don't have to judge others by their quality, beauty and ugliness. He thinks beauty is beautiful because of ugliness, and good is good because of evil. So beauty is only one side, and there is an ugly side, and goodness is only one side, and there is an evil side. Not only that, but also the difficulty, length and height, all of which are formed by comparing with each other, and the sound blends with the sound and goes hand in hand. These are eternal truths, so we should not pay too much attention to them. Only in this way can we see things more comprehensively.

Laozi thinks that people who study Taoism should look down on themselves, be weak and bow their heads. Going out to do things is like sitting in someone else's house. Talking to people is like treating your superiors. Walking outside looks unremarkable. For example, he said that the sea became its sea because its position was lower than other places, so all the water gathered in the sea. He also asked us to start from small things, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and a nine-story platform is built on earth. Only in this way can we approach the Tao and approach the direction of the Tao.

Laozi emphasized "unprofitable", "indisputable", "vain, quiet and loyal" and "weak wins over strong". This principle of Laozi is called "doing nothing without doing anything", that is, not deliberately doing something, but doing it according to the nature of things.

Some people think that Laozi's struggle can't adapt to the competition in modern society. Actually, it's not. I just used another method to compete; Not only that, but his method can also help you deal with the relationship with the surrounding environment while competing. It is the right way to be kind to others. Laozi is always reminding us what we should do, what kind of person we should be and what kind of life we should pursue. In other words, what is the status in life and society. Only by knowing your position can you know what you want to do.

Laozi respects water the most among all things in nature, and thinks that the virtue of water is the closest to the virtue of saints. It is also an ideal wet place. It is better to live in the evil of others than to compete for profits, and others have nothing to complain about. Water has its virtue comparable to that of a saint, and it can be called "Tao".

"Kindness is like water" is a cheerful and optimistic attitude towards life. Xiu De's essential state, a fitness technique. With virtue in your heart, you will inevitably respect nature and life more and more, and you will get closer to Tao and understand the essence of life more and more.

Every book has its limitations and irrationality. For example, the pedantic and sophisticated gentleman theory in The Analects of Confucius and Zhuangzi's illusion are all unrealistic. Tao Te Ching also has its negative and reclusive side. However, we can't deny that classics, history, Confucius and poems inspire China people with wisdom, liberation of mind, motivation of life and rules of action between heaven and earth. Every truth cannot cover everything in the world and suit everyone's spleen and stomach. That's why we have a cultural feast with a hundred schools of thought contending, and a life with different world views. Know what you should do.

Comments on Laozi (3) I read Laozi the other day. This book is about some things I have experienced in my life.

Laozi, who lived about 57 1-477 BC and was originally named Li Er, was a famous thinker in ancient China. Although the Tao Te Ching written by him is concise, it contains profound truth and has inspired many people's hearts for thousands of years. It can be seen that Lao Tzu has a far-reaching influence on people!

Laozi mentioned water many times in his book, and there are many praises for water in Tao Te Ching: "Good as water", "All things are indisputable in water conservancy", "The world is not weaker than water, and those who overcome difficulties are invincible" ... I think the spirit of water is precious, and the power of water seems weak, but it is actually very powerful. As Laozi said: "What is really powerful is not strength, but weakness!"

Because water is weak and has no desire to fight, it can nourish everything and make everything thrive. It never despises the low, and always flows to the low. Isn't this spirit worth learning?

The magnificent sea is made up of countless water drops, which can also grind away stones. This is the power of water. The waves of the sea never tire of beating the rocks, and selfless water always moistens everything. This is the spirit of water.

Water is never competitive, it can contain everything. The stone is in the way, and it will go around and continue to run. It is so modest, it keeps flowing downwards, and thus it joins the rivers and lakes. However, water can carry a boat and also overturn it.

Water is the source of all things. Without water, there is no life. Although water is invisible and colorless, its seemingly weak power transcends everything. Water made me understand the truth of generosity and tolerance. Only those who can tolerate the world can be tolerated by the world. At the same time, it also made me realize that I should have a broad mind in my study, and the more I learn, the more I learn. We can make progress and become useful materials for our country.

How many people are as humble and silent as water in today's society? How many people are notorious for fame and fortune? Water is great, and its spirit will make people feel something.

Model essay after reading Laozi (4) If half a wheelchair can rule the world, then one Laozi can rule the universe. Laozi is a great philosophical work.

Needham said that China culture is like a towering tree, and its roots are in Taoism. It can be seen that Laozi is profound and profound, and it is a wonderful flower in China culture. After reading Laozi, I can only say that I have read Laozi and understood the fur of this masterpiece. For myself, I can only say that I have chosen a few people with unique feelings.

Lao Tzu began by telling us that Tao produces all things in the world, but it is not an ordinary Tao, which cannot be expressed in words, but it is very profound and mysterious; "Tao gives birth to one, two, three and all things" is the origin of Tao's creation of all things. In Laozi's view, the origin of all things in the universe is "mixing into one".

This is quite different from the ideas of many philosophers in ancient Greece. Thales thought that the source of all things was water, Aristotle thought that fire was the source of all things, and even later, at a relatively high scientific level, the theory that atoms were the source of the world appeared, which made me very puzzled: in ancient China, why did you think that Tao, a virtual thing, was the source of all things, rather than the concrete matter mentioned in the West? Is it that the essence of civilization is different?

"Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, evil is evil, good is good and bad is bad." In fact, the objective world is contradictory, but people have so-called beauty, evil, good and bad because of their subjectivity, which leads to different world outlook, outlook on life, aesthetics and so on. However, in Laozi, "whether it is the same or not, it is difficult to complement each other, the length is in phase, the height is in phase, and the sound is in harmony." The existence of all things is reflected by the existence of their opposites. Perhaps this is the "opposites bring out the best in each other" in China's classical philosophy.

"Good as water" is a well-known classic, but who can really understand this sentence? Laozi used water to educate the world, and used water to compare the personality of a noble character. "Water is good for all things and indisputable, and water is evil for all, so it is a few things." In other words, noble character is like water, so soft, staying in a humble place, nourishing everything without fighting with it. This is the highest good.

In today's society, how to reflect, fight for power and profit, and go with the flow? How many people are selfless? Laozi believes that "the reason why heaven and earth can last is that they can't live by themselves, so they can live forever." The reason why heaven and earth exist for a long time is because of their selfless dedication. Therefore ... Lao Tzu said, "It is the saints who are behind and exist outside. Because of his selflessness, he can become private. " Because of his selflessness, he finally achieved himself, which is great.

In fact, there are many humanized parts in Laozi, which is exactly what I like. Philosophy of dealing with people: "The next best thing is heaven." To be a man, you should leave room for your own behavior, don't go too far, no matter what you do, there must be a limit and enough is enough. People can't be "profitable" After gaining fame and fortune, one should retire after success, which is the long-term guarantee.

"If white humiliation, generous horned, a late bloomer. Great voices are heard, elephants are invisible, and the Tao is hidden and nameless. Husband is the only way, and the loan is good. " The greatness of Tao, "Man is the mother of all things, the earth is the mother of heaven, and heaven is the mother of all things."

Laozi's Laozi is so profound and unfathomable. A dewdrop in the morning and a star at night are all in this avenue. How I want to know this great Tao. Only by continuing to study hard can I get closer and closer to it. Getting to know the Tao slowly is as endless as counting stars.

Comments on Laozi (5) Laozi, also known as Tao Te Ching, was written by Laozi, a great thinker in ancient China.

The book Laozi has been circulated for more than two thousand years today, and people have certainly studied and studied it for more than two thousand years. Then, why is the book Laozi still studied by so many people after more than two thousand years and passed down from generation to generation? One of the reasons is, of course, the philosophical nature of its content and the importance of its thought. Some people think that it is the representative of oriental culture and the main source of China's philosophy. Some people think it is a military book about political strategy; Others think that this is a long philosophical poem; In my opinion, it is an encyclopedia of life, which is both easy to read and intriguing; Rich in philosophy and close to life, different people will have different feelings and gains when reading it.

There is too much wisdom in the book Laozi. It is not enough to understand and read it literally. You must study it more deeply to understand and feel its true meaning. In the book "Lao Zi", the most touching sentence is: "Do something." It means: a gentleman knows what he can and can't do, and he knows what he can and can't do before he does it. And my understanding is very simple, "doing something" means not doing something; "Doing something" means that sometimes you need to give up. For example, you can think of something beyond your power, but you must not do it; What you want to do but can't do is also a kind of wisdom. Therefore, we should avoid the matter of eggs touching stones, improve our eyesight to see the danger under the beautiful veil, and don't be confused by appearances.

"Doing something" is the hope of life. With this hope, no matter how difficult the road is, we will go forward bravely. "Doing something wrong" is not an excuse for doing nothing, for not achieving anything, or for not being able to defend yourself. If you want to do something, you must do something. If you want to reach the highest level of life, you must abandon all distractions. I remember someone said: we can only do one thing well in this life. We only have one pair of hands, and each hand has five fingers. Sometimes our two hands can't reach out everything, because the five fingers of one hand can't catch everything, so we should catch what is necessary and worth catching. This is a fact.

After reading Laozi, I felt a lot, and my attitude towards study and life has also changed greatly. Living in this world, living in the universe, I deeply feel my smallness. As a high school student in 2 1 century, the fierce competition in the college entrance examination has forced me to spend a lot of time dealing with endless homework and exercises. For this reason, I feel physically and mentally exhausted, and the idea of giving up appears in my mind many times. However, I didn't give up. What makes me regain my confidence is what Laozi said: "Do something and do nothing." If we want to succeed, we must do something. For example, we must seize every minute, make good use of sporadic time and try our best to study and fight. Similarly, if you want to succeed, you should give up something appropriately. For example, in the course of the exam, if you encounter problems beyond your ability or get scores, you can put them aside first, write down the problems you can finish first, and then have time to solve them, so as to ensure that you will not regret it. In addition, senior three should control the use of mobile phones, don't indulge in the virtual game world of mobile phone network, and don't fall in love at this important period. Once the emotional aspects are not handled properly, our study will plummet, and we may have the idea of being tired of learning and even miss the future.

In short, for those of us who want to get good grades and succeed, the more eager we are for success, the greater the pressure from the outside world and the more things we have to face. Understand the deep meaning of "doing something and not doing something". When we really understand this sentence of Laozi, maybe this will be our road to success.

Comments on Laozi (6) Laozi, also known as Tao Te Ching, is short and slightly obscure. He put forward the concept of "Taoism is natural" for the first time, and it was continuously developed and extended by later generations to become the first religion in China-Taoism. Therefore, Taoist theory pays more attention to the exploration and pursuit of the spiritual world than Confucianism, and pays more attention to the individual, which is also the origin of the so-called "sage like style".

Laozi believes that everything is complementary, so we should look at the problem dialectically. As the saying goes, fortunes depend on each other, and many things in life should be normal and let nature take its course. Furthermore, we should regard every encounter in life as a process of life growth, and turn the spirit and energy in the encounter into our own life experience.

I remember the high school teacher once said that when I was young, I should try to have less contact with Laozi. After all, its content is more or less suitable for young people who should be full of passion. Watching too much may lead to a lack of vitality. But I don't think it conflicts with understanding its essence. When I deeply understand the book Laozi, I found that many of its truths are of great benefit to people's spiritual life in today's society. Nowadays, with the rapid development of social economy, people's material wealth is getting richer and richer, but the accumulation of spiritual wealth is being ignored more and more, and the phenomenon of moral decay is becoming more and more serious. How to face all kinds of temptations in materialistic real life? A thousand years ago, Lao Tzu might give the answer: meditation, purity and dedication are three different levels of mentality in life.

Meditation is the coordinate of Jing 'an life.

Laozi takes "quietness is the best in the world" and "quietness" as the basis of practice. Only by "meditation" can we "know its male and keep its female", "know its white and keep its black" and "know its glory and keep its shame"; Meditation is not disturbed by fame and fortune, and is not affected by going back and forth; Meditation is the only way to stay poor and endure loneliness. Meditation is the foundation of peace of mind. When people's state of mind reaches an empty state, they will always maintain a modest and prudent style, and they will make practical moves, do practical things and seek practical results in society, life and work.

Clean your heart and your life direction.

Chapter 13 of Laozi's Tao Te Ching: "A great shame is a great disaster." We can see that the root of "great shame" lies in "having a body for me", and the root of "having a body for me" lies in the fact that people's minds can't be as clean, clear and transparent as water, and they attach too much importance to individuals and their fame and fortune. If you are indifferent to the world, you will remain quiet and simple, and you will have less selfish desires. How can you be "if you are in trouble?" In this way, purifying your mind can make you consciously persist in self-reflection, always check your greedy heart and curb your unwanted thoughts. A pure mind is the source of keeping a clear understanding.

Show your life as much as you can.

Laozi said in the seventeenth chapter of Tao Te Ching that "Tao always does nothing". I don't think Lao Tzu's inaction is negative inaction. This is a misunderstanding of Laozi's Tao Te Ching. Lao Tzu meant to teach people to follow the path, not to act rashly, but to do something. Only by "not acting rashly" can we make great achievements, that is to say, "not acting rashly" is the guarantee of making achievements. Doing something is to play a good social role, do a good job and assume family responsibilities. This is "doing something".

Yes, in today's world-disputing society, if he can devote himself wholeheartedly to his work, then his mentality must always be in a state of meditation and purity. Without entering a state of meditation and purity, he can't restrain his restless heart. In other words, God doesn't think outside, so meditation and purity of mind are the premise and premise of doing all the work wholeheartedly.
