Guan Yinzi preached the Tao Te Ching like a cloud.
Chapter 25
what's up Success, born. Silence and independence, but not love, can be the mother of the world. Unknown its name, the word yue; I am strong in name and say big. This is a big slogan, this is a slogan, this is a slogan. The road is big, the sky is big, the land is big, and the king is big. There are four big countries in China, Ann! Wang Juyi 'an. Man's law is based on the earth, the earth is based on the sky, the sky is based on the Tao, and the Tao is natural.
Worm, written in an ancient secret book. From big to small.
The two bugs slaughtered in Xi, The goddess patching the sky are
It is said that it is an insect, which has the characteristics of "getting Yang leads to life, getting Yin leads to hiding". It can be said that one worm is like two elephants, with yin and yang. ? Cheng: I think that Tao is such a bug that gathers the qi of Yin and Yang.
"What's up?" Cheng, Lao Tzu endowed the Tao with two characteristics:
First, Tao is a thing. Second, Tao, as a thing, has its own duality of yin and yang, which is inherent in Tao and is not divided, derived or developed later. This is the concept of "Tao is inherent" that we mentioned in the first chapter. Contrary to the concept of "Tao and law naturally exist", there is also a theory called "Tao and law naturally exist", which means that Tao first exists, and then Tao divides into yin and yang. The mistake of this view lies in misunderstanding the concept of "infinity". He understood infinity as "nothing". In the Taoist culture of Wen, "infinite" is originally "dead pole" and is a hidden state of pole. It's like a pool of muddy water and sediment being stirred evenly. You can't tell which part is water and which part is sediment, but we say that water is water and sediment is sediment. They are two different things. After precipitation, sediment and water are separated, and it is clear that water is above and sediment is turbid. This is the reason why Wuji gives birth to Tai Chi. Although it is not appropriate for us to compare the yin and yang of Tao with sediment and water, the general meaning is that sentence that everyone can understand.
As for nuwa Fuxi's coitus. In fact, yin and yang of heaven and earth are one thing, intertwined.
If you want to ask, why are the directions different? Then the ancients also had the concept of "hiding left and showing right".
The emphasis of expression is different, you can understand that one is a female insect and the other is a male insect.
In addition, as for compasses and rulers. It expresses the theory that the sky is round and the earth is round. Where the sky is round, wealth is regarded as money. Heaven and earth are round, which is considered as power. So Simu Ding (Houding) was made in Fang Ding. Men use a round tripod to represent strength.
