Classic Laozi story

Laozi was a great philosopher, thinker and founder of Taoist school in ancient China. I believe everyone has heard the classic story of Laozi. The following is the classic Lao Tzu story I compiled for you. Welcome to reading.

The classic story of Laozi tells the story of a Tibetan room named Zhou Shou, who went home several times to visit his mother and tried to persuade her to go to Zhou with him. His mother has lived in Chen Xiangyi for a long time, and she is familiar with the land and doesn't want to move too far. How time flies! More than 30 years have passed in a blink of an eye. One day in the Taiqing Palace of the Qing Dynasty, Lao Dan suddenly got a message from his family that my mother was critically ill, so he reported to the Emperor and went home to visit the province. When I got home, my mother had died. Facing a pile of loess on the vast land, thinking of her mother's heroic spirit under the grave, recalling her kind face and nurturing grace, Lao Dan was heartbroken, eating and sleeping, sitting on the floor, meditating, and suddenly found himself stupid; Looking for the reason, I suddenly realized, relieved, relieved, and hungry and tired. So I ate a big meal and fell asleep.

The general and the maid were surprised. They woke up and asked why. Lao Dan replied? Born in the world, with feelings and wisdom. Family, so the interpersonal relationship is harmonious and warm; If you are wise, you will understand and understand, but the directors will not be confused. Love and wisdom are incidental; A wise man is the master of love. With emotions, people are stupid and things are upside down; With intelligence, people are smart and harmonious. My mother's kindness is like a mountain. Today, my mother left, and my feelings are hard to break. Love is hard to break, and so is human nature. Without wisdom, it is difficult to decide, and it will be chaotic, so I am very sad and don't want to live. Today, I was sitting and meditating, and suddenly I had wisdom. I can control my feelings with wisdom, so my feelings can be controlled and things can be adjusted. Love can be controlled and things can be managed, so I am hungry and tired. ?

The family will ask:? Why does wisdom unify feelings?

? People are born out of nothing; From scratch, it must be from scratch. When there is no mother, there is no love between mother and child; There are mothers and mothers, and there is a mother-child relationship; Mother goes to stay, mother is ruthless, and son is unique; Without mother, there is no love. Isn't it the same without human feelings and without human feelings? Isn't it stupid to indulge in love and sadness? Therefore, the love of flesh and blood is hard to break, people are like this, and they are also suitable for love; If you don't make a decision, it's difficult to make a decision, which goes against the principle of nature. It is foolish to recite the laws of nature! At this point, I lost my appetite and slept. ? When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly became clear.

Lao Dan, the classic story of Laozi, has lived on Sundays for a long time and has become more and more knowledgeable and famous. What do you call a knowledgeable person in the Spring and Autumn Period? Son? , to show respect, therefore, people are called Lao Dan? Lao tze? .

One day in 538 BC, Confucius said to his disciple Nangong Shu Jing. Lao Dan and Zhou Zhishou kept the history of the room, making the past serve the present, knowing the source of rites and music and the essence of morality. I want to ask Zhou for advice today. Would you like to go with me? The nangongshan ShuJing readily agreed, and immediately report to lujun. Lujun allows this. Send a car, two horses, one son and one imperial palace, and Nangong Jingshu will accompany Confucius. I'm glad to see Kong Qiu coming all the way. After the professor left, I invited Kong Qiu to visit Dr. Changhong. Changhong is good at music, giving Kong Qiu music rules and music theory; Kong Qiu's introduction of sacrificial ceremonies, his inspection of missionary sites and the etiquette of temple fairs made Kong Qiu sigh and benefit a lot. Stay a few days. Kong Qiu said goodbye to Lao Tzu. Lao Dan sent it out of the building with a message:? It is said that the rich give people money and the righteous give people words. I am neither rich nor expensive, and I have no money to send you; I'd like to send you a few words. In today's world, smart and knowledgeable people are almost dead, because they are good at mocking others' mistakes; Those who talk eloquently and are smart, are always in trouble, just to publicize the evil of others. As a son, don't think highly of yourself; As a minister, don't put yourself first. I hope you will remember. ? Kong Qiu nodded. Disciples must remember! ?

When I reached the bank of the Yellow River, I saw the river surging, the turbid waves rolling, and the momentum was like Ma Benteng, the sound was like the roar of tigers, and the sound was like thunder. Kong Qiu stood on the shore and sighed. The deceased is like a husband, not giving up day and night! The water of the Yellow River is rushing, and people's years have passed. Rivers do not know where to go, and life does not know where to go. After listening to Kong Qiu, Lao Tzu said: Between heaven and earth, life and heaven and earth are one. Heaven and earth are natural things; Life is also a natural thing; People are young, young, strong and old, just like the alternation of spring, summer, autumn and winter in heaven and earth. What is sadness? Born in nature, died in nature, let it be natural, and nature is not chaotic; If you don't let nature run, you will be bound by nature. If fame exists in your heart, you will feel anxious; If you want to stay in your heart, you will have more troubles. ? Kong Qiu explained:? I can't do it because I am worried about the Tao, I can't do justice, I can't do war, I can't cure the chaos of the country, so life is too short to make contributions to the world and sigh for the people.

Lao Tzu said:? Heaven and earth push themselves, the sun and the moon show themselves, the stars order themselves, and the animals make themselves. It's natural. Why bother? People are born as human beings, so they have nothing, so sharing weal and woe means that there is a natural principle and a natural way. Only by following the principles and ways of nature can the country be autonomous and the people be self-righteous. Why should we talk about rites and music and advocate benevolence and righteousness? It is far from human nature to talk about rites and music and advocate benevolence and righteousness! Just like those who beat drums to escape, the louder the drums, the farther they escape! ?

After a short pause, Lao Tzu pointed to the Yellow River and said to Kong Qiu. Why don't you learn the virtue of water? Kong Qiu said? What is the virtue of water? Lao Tzu said:? Goodness is like water: water is good for all things without dispute, and being hated by all people is the virtue of modesty; Therefore, Jiang Hai can be the king of all the valleys, and if he is good at it, he can also be the king of all the valleys. The water in the world is not weak, and the strong can't win, which is also gentleness; Therefore, softness wins, and weakness wins. Because it has nothing, it can be integrated, so it can be seen that teaching without words and inaction are also beneficial. ? After listening to this, Kong Qiu suddenly realized: Mr. Wang's words made me suddenly enlightened: people are on the ground, and water is lonely; Everyone is easy, and water is alone; Everyone is clean, and water is alone. Who can contend with the evil people do? This is why it is good. ? Lao Tzu nodded and said, you can teach! You can remember: if you don't fight against the world, no one in the world can compete with it, which is to imitate Shuide. Water is more than Tao: Tao is everywhere, water has no disadvantages, avoid heights, never oppose, and be good at its place; The empty place is quiet and unfathomable. Goodness is deep; Losses are inexhaustible, efforts are unrequited, and kindness is also benevolent; You must rotate, you must fold, you must stop, you must flow, you must be kind and trustworthy; Wash the filth, smooth it out, and handle things well; There is a load floating, a clear reference, a strong attack, and a good use of energy; Don't give up day and night, Yingke is backward, and kindness is also good. Therefore, saints can do whatever they want, and saints should change because of things; Wise men govern by doing nothing, while great men live in harmony with the weather. After you come here, besides your desire for appearance, you should be arrogant in words. Otherwise, people have not heard it before, and the wind has not moved. Who dares to use you? Kong Qiu way:? Mr. Wang's words came from the heart and entered the disciple's heart and spleen. Disciples have benefited a lot and will never forget it. Disciples will be obedient and tirelessly grateful to the teacher for his kindness. ? Say that finish, say goodbye to Lao zi, get on the bus with uncle Nangong, and reluctantly head for Lu.

Back in Lu, the disciples asked: Is it possible for Mr. Wang to visit Lao Tzu? Confucius said:? I see it! ? The disciple asked. ? What's Laozi like? Confucius said:? Bird, I know it can fly; Fish, I know it can swim; Beast, I know it can walk. Pedestrians can be tied with nets, swimmers can catch them with hooks, and fliers can shoot them with arrows. As for dragons, I don't know why. Dragon riding storm for nine days! I can see Lao Tzu, but is he still a dragon? Knowledge is unfathomable, and interest is high and difficult to know; As a snake bends and stretches at any time, as a dragon changes in time. Lao Dan, you are my teacher! ?

The classic story of Laozi: On Tuesday (5 18 BC), the mourning period expired and returned to Zhou. In the fourth year of Zhou dynasty (5 16 BC), the royal family of Zhou dynasty had civil strife and led troops to capture the city. Zhou was forced. At that time, Jin was very powerful and sent troops to rescue Zhou. Lonely, he fled to Chu with his old Imperial Classics of Liao and Zhou Dynasties. Lao Dan resigned on suspicion of dereliction of duty. So he retired from the palace, rode a green cow, wanted to go out of Hangu Pass, and went west to Qin.

Not far from Luoyi in Zhou Dynasty, but the fields are desolate. In broken walls, the mine fields are destroyed, the buildings are staggered, the countryside is deserted, and the hay rustles. There are no cultivated horses in the field, but the horses are running endlessly on the avenue, and some horses are dragging their stomachs and struggling to follow. Seeing this scene, Lao Dan was heartbroken, and he thought to himself: Soldiers are ominous weapons, but they are not the weapons of gentlemen. Use it as a last resort, enough is enough, and calm is the best. You don't have to be beautiful to win. People who are beautiful are happy to kill. A happy murderer can't succeed in the world! Those who help others with Tao will not strengthen the world with soldiers. Where there are soldiers, there are thorns; After being a soldier, there must be a bad year. There is a road in the world, but it is a waste; There is no way in the world, and the suburbs have horses. If the army is born in the suburbs, the country will be chaotic and the family will be broken. ?

It is said that Guan Yin, an official of Hanguguan, was fond of observing astronomy and reading ancient books when he was young, and he was deeply cultivated. One night, looking at the starry sky from the independent building, I suddenly saw the oriental ziyun densely covered. The third long Wan Li, shaped like a dragon, rolled in from east to west, talking to himself: Purple gas goes from east to Wan Li, and saints go west through this place. Green cow slowly carrying the old man, hide away. ? Guan Yinzao heard Lao Dan's name and thought, Is it Lao Tzu in the future? So he sent someone to clean the road for forty miles and burn incense to welcome the saints.

On the afternoon of July 12, the sun sets in the west and the light shines from the east. Guanyin was about to take a look at Shimonoseki when she saw an old man riding a green cow among the sparse pedestrians. The old man's head is as white as snow, his eyebrows hang down on his temples, his ears hang down on his shoulders, his knees hang down, and his face is plain and clean. Guanyin heaved a sigh:? I am very lucky. Have to meet a saint! ? Three steps and two steps, running forward, kneeling in front of the green cow and saying, Guanyin kowtows to the saint?

When I saw the square face, thick lips, thick eyebrows and nose of the admirer, he was dignified but not indifferent, gentle and not coquettish. I knew he was not an ordinary person, so I deliberately tried to say: Lord Guanling bowed down to the poor old man, which is really a great gift! I dare not undertake it. what do you think? Guan yindao:? Lao Zhang, saint! In order to stay in the house and consult the path of practice. ? Lao Tzu said:? What is sacred about me that makes you love me so much? Ashamed, ashamed to kill the old lady? Guan yindao:? Guanyin is incompetent; Have a good observation of astronomy and a little understanding of changes. Seeing the purple gas coming from the east, we know that there are saints going west, and seeing the purple gas rolling like a dragon, its length is three Wan Li. Knowing who will be supreme is not the usual saint; Seeing the white clouds around the purple gas head, I know that the sage's white hair is the shape of the old man; Before seeing the purple gas, there was a blue cow holding the hand of the star, and the blue cow knew at a glance that it was a sage. ?

Lao Tzu laughed after listening: thank you, thank you! I've heard a lot about you, and I'm here to meet you. ? Guan was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again. After that, Guanyin led Laozi to the official residence, asked Laozi to sit down and burn incense as a disciple's gift, pleading: Sir, today is a great saint! A saint does not steal his own wisdom for himself, but must take the wisdom of all people in the world as his own responsibility. Now you will live in seclusion, heartless, and it is difficult to find someone to ask for advice! Why not turn your divine wisdom into a book? Although Guanyin is humble, I hope that Mr. Dai will be handed down from generation to generation and will last forever for the benefit of all generations. ?

Lao Dan promised to learn from the success or failure of the dynasty and the safety of the people, trace back to the source, and write two articles with five thousand words. What was the beginning of the last article? Tao can be Tao, very Tao; Famous, very famous? Therefore, it is called Tao Jing. What is the beginning of the next article? Virtue is not virtue, but virtue; Is it immoral to have virtue without losing it? Therefore, the old friend is called "moral classic" and collectively called "moral classic". Tao Jing said that the root of the universe contains the opportunity of the change of heaven and earth, implying the beauty of the change of yin and yang; The second volume, The Classic of Virtue, talks about the way of the world, including the art of advancing and retreating, and the way of staying and seeing for a long time. Guanyin got it, and when she got the treasure, she meditated all day and was hungry.

On April 1 day, I rode an ox to the outskirts of Liang (now Kaifeng, Henan) and was closing my eyes when I suddenly heard someone shout? Sir? . Lao Dan heard the sound, opened his eyes and found that it was disciple Yang Ziju.

Yang Ziju, wei ren, went to imperial academy to learn from Lao Tzu. He used to worship Lao Tzu as a teacher in private. I didn't expect to meet Lao Tzu in Liang, but Yang Ziju hurriedly turned over from the marooned horse, lifted the brocade robe and green robe, and bowed down in front of the green cow. Lao Dan stepped down, picked up Yoko and walked with him.

Lao Dan asked? What have disciples been up to recently?

Yang Ziju salutes:? I'm here to visit my ancestors, buy real estate, decorate Liang Dong, recruit servants, and clean up the house rules. ?

Lao Dan way:? It is enough to have a place to lie down and eat. Why do you need such publicity?

Yangziju Road:? Mr. cultivate one's morality, sit quietly, walk leisurely, drink flatly and lie peacefully, unless there is a deep house, how can this happen? How can we support a single family with a deep house, no servants and no spare equipment? Recruit servants, equip them with appliances, and don't make house rules. How should we treat them?

Lao Dan smiled and said, The road is natural, so there is no need to be quiet. Do nothing but relax, drink nothing but sake, and lie down without desire. Why do you want to cultivate yourself in a deep house? Eat hungry, rest tired, work at sunrise and sleep at sunset. Why do you need many servants at home? Comply with nature, do nothing, and you will be healthy; Back to nature and camp, then god was confused and his body was damaged. ?

Yoko's bosom friend was shallow and humble, and he said with shame, disciple is vulgar, thank you for your advice. ?

Lao Dan asked. ? Where do you live?

Yang is on the side:? Pei County (now Pei County, Jiangsu Province). ?
