"If the first sentence is the core of Laozi's thoughts, then the last two sentences are the core of Taoism," Wang Yu said.”
Academician Chen came back to his senses.
"The core of Taoism?" he asked in surprise.”
"Daoism and Daoism are two sides of the same coin. Although the two were completely different, Taoism was born out of Taoism, and its foundation was in the ideology of Taoism.”
Academician Chen said seriously,"Please enlighten me."”
"Nothing, the beginning of the world. There is, called the mother of all things. Therefore, we should observe the subtle changes in the state of constant non-existence, and observe the subtle changes in the state of constant existence. These two things, the same origin but different names, the same called mysterious, mysterious beyond mysterious, is the door of all kinds of wonderful things.
The meaning of this sentence was that nothing was the beginning of heaven and earth, and existence was the origin of all things.
Therefore, he often observed the mysteries of heaven and earth from nothingness. He often searched for the traces of all things in the world. Being and not being were just different names from the same source. Being and non-being are both profound, they are the main door of all change.”
Academician Chen was deep in thought.
"Being and non-being are just different names from the same source," he said. Being and non-being are both profound, they are the main door of all change. This sentence was really full of meaning.
One was nothing, and the other was something. They should have been different, but they were the same.
It seemed to be full of fallacies, but if one combined it with the core of the book, one could understand the author's intentions.
This sentence perfectly reflected Laozi's ideology. Dao can be Dao, but it is not Dao. Name can be name, but not name. The so-called 'nothing' and the so-called 'being' were all Dao. They were his explanations and understandings of Dao.”
"Sigh, Dao can be Dao, name can be name. Laozi's state of thinking was too high. This Dao was not only the law of heaven and earth, but also everything in the world. Even you and I were everything in the world.
The word Dao contained everything.
A name explained everything, but it did not explain anything.”
Academician Chen shook his head.
"I used to think that I had some understanding of Taoism, but now I realize that I actually know nothing about Taoism." Just the opening paragraph of the Tao Te Ching completely overturned my previous understanding and impression of Taoism.”
"However, Sir said that this sentence is also the core of Taoism. What does that mean?”
Wang Yu: " From Taoism to Taoism, this is a process of transformation. It is also a process of developing from pure academic thinking to religion. This process was very long, almost a thousand years.
During this period of time, some Taoist disciples absorbed the thoughts of other philosophers and combined them with traditional witchcraft, gods, and other primitive religious beliefs to create the first Taoism.
Although Taoism had changed, its core ideology still existed.”
"Taoism has gods, but it is different from other religions.
Daoism believed that gods were the images of Dao in different times, different spaces, and different forms.
Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
Taoism believed that everything in the world could be known, understood, and controlled.
It was the same for gods.
This was because they were just the embodiment of Dao, a part of everything in the world.
Therefore, the status of gods in different periods of Taoism was completely different. Even in different sects, they had completely different statuses.
Taoist priests respected gods, but they did not completely rely on gods without their own thoughts.
Taoism believed that humans could control gods and become gods.”
Academician Chen was dumbfounded.
This Taoist god had no dignity, right?
He was actually being controlled!
The two-and-a-half-hour program ended very quickly.
In this episode, apart from explaining a section of the Tao Te Ching, Wang Yu mainly introduced the evolution of Taoism and the origin of Taoism.
After the show ended, people still felt that they had not had enough.
Bullet comments.
"What an eye-opener! Today was really an eye-opener! Taoism was completely different from Buddhism, the Church, and all the other religions.”
"That's right. Other religions worship gods, while Daoism worships heaven and earth and nature.
Other religions emphasized faith, and the will of the gods could not be disobeyed. Taoism emphasized that Dao could be Dao, but it was not Dao. A name can be called a name, but it cannot be called a name. Deities were a type of law of heaven and earth that could be recognized, understood, and controlled.
The difference is too great."
"Laugh and cry.jpg, I suddenly understand why the Tartars are so wary of Taoism, even willing to destroy Taoism at all costs.”
"Plus, the great Taoist sages from more than 2,000 years ago already had such an incredible state of thought and even put forward such a profound idea.
It was hard to imagine how many world-shaking great men and sages had appeared in Taoism after two thousand years of development.
There was also the ideology of Taoism. Even the gods of heaven and earth could be understood and controlled. There was really something that they could not do.”
"Mother, I don't even know what to say. No wonder Taizu said that Taoism was the backbone of the East.”
"F * ck, although this is only a word, it is concise and comprehensive. It deeply expressed my feelings for Taoism and expressed my admiration for the Taoist sages. This word seemed vulgar and unrefined.
However, upon closer inspection, it was incomparably elegant and filled with a primitive aura of crude beauty. It perfectly matched the core of Taoism's ideology of Dao can be Dao, extraordinary Dao, name can be name, and extraordinary name.”
"F * ck, upstairs, you're really pretty. Why didn't you freeze to death after ten years?”
"Laughing till I cry.jpg, you're really a pervert.”
"Are you happy with this?"
"I strongly request that the entire Tao Te Ching be published.”
"I'm looking forward to the next show. This show is awesome.”
Although the show had ended, the storm that it had caused had just begun.
There were netizens discussing this episode everywhere on Weibo, Tieba, WeChat, and Penguin.
At this moment, Wang Yu had just woken up from his sleep. He had recovered his essence, qi, and spirit to their peak and was planning to start his first cultivation.
