Tao Te Ching: Doing nothing, practicing what is not said

The Tao Te Ching was written by Laozi during the Spring and Autumn Period, also known as the Tao Te Ching, Laozi, Five Thousand Words; it is an important source of philosophical thinking of Taoism, a classic of traditional Chinese culture for thousands of years, enlightening countless people; when you have time to read the book, you have feelings, and fearfully put into words, it is one's own gain, which is self-enjoyment.

"To do nothing, to teach without words" is from the second chapter of the Tao Te Ching:

The world knows that beauty is beauty, but it is evil; it knows that good is good, but it is not good.     That is why the sages do nothing and teach without saying anything, and all things are made without saying anything, and they are born without having them, and they do not rely on them, and they are accomplished without living in them. The only way to do this is to not go.

This sentence can be understood as: the Taoist people in the handling of the practice of doing nothing, the implementation of the wordless teaching. Transcending yin and yang, reaching the height of one, like the Tao, all-embracing, doing nothing, while at the same time being loud and silent, helping everything and accomplishing everything, the Tao is inaction and speechless, and in inaction and speechlessness lies the Tao.

How can we do nothing and not do anything?

Comply with the law, respect the facts, with a transcendent attitude, not tossing, not presumptuous, not blindly directing, not interfering, not doing something to do something.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, a farmer in the state of Song felt that the growth of seedlings was too slow, so he went out of his way to pull up the seedlings one by one, and as a result, all the seedlings in the field died. This kind of uprooting thing, smart modern people do a lot, especially in the education of children, many people ignore the free development of the child's nature, eager to participate in all kinds of improvement classes, fear of losing in the so-called starting line, as a result, the child is early fear of learning, aversion to learning, the parents in the unknowingly stifle the child's imagination and creativity.

How can we achieve indoctrination without words?

"What does heaven say? When the four seasons are in motion and all things are born, what does Heaven say?" Comprehension of the heaven and earth, all things notable, learning the laws of nature, everyone grows two feet and two hands, two eyes and a mouth, as if to tell us, more lines and more to do, more to see and less to say; to set an example, physically. So in the unit, the leadership should be clean and cultivated, employees can be dedicated and diligent, focused on work; in the family is also the case, the family style is implicit, parents first do, do a good job of their own, and then go to the requirements of the child, hope that the son of a dragon, hope that the daughter of a phoenix parents, in the hope that the child to study seriously, at the same time, their own learning and refinement, that is, not to say that indoctrination, role modeling is the power is infinite, as the saying goes: you if you bloom. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that.

Self-pleasure and sharing, the network charm, sharing such as can benefit people, readers since the realization.
