The reason why the ancients valued this way, why not seek it day by day?If you are guilty, you will be spared, so it is expensive in the world.

【Analysis】

Tao is the ruler of all things.It is the magic weapon of kind people and the reliance of unkind people.

Beautiful words can be exchanged for the respect of others, and noble actions can be valued by others.Even if there are unkind people among the people, how can the Daoist abandon them at will?Therefore, instead of setting up the Son of Heaven, setting up the Three Dukes, and letting these people sit in a four-horse-drawn carriage and present beautiful jade biscuits with both hands, it is better to sit down and understand the meaning of "Tao" in depth.

The ancients regarded "Tao" as extremely precious, so how could it be possible not to search for it for a long time?If you get it, you will be exempt from guilt. That's why people in the world attach great importance to "Tao".

The beauty and function of "Tao" lies in the fact that no matter good or bad, king or common people can be satisfied with it. "Tao" is equal to all things in the world, which is exactly its greatness.

【Explanation by Famous Artists】

Mr. He Shang:
Oh, Tibetan also.Tao is the storehouse of all things, and it is all-encompassing.Good people take the Tao as their treasure and dare not violate it.The Taoist is the protection and reliance of unkind people.When you are in a hurry, you still know that you are humble and regretful.

Those who speak well can only be heard by the market.It is inappropriate for a husband to retreat after trading in the market. The seeker wants to get it quickly, and the seller wants to sell it quickly.Plus, don't also.Human beings have noble deeds, which can be different from ordinary people, but they are not enough to respect the Tao.Although people are not good, they should be transformed by Taoism.Before the establishment of the Three Emperors, no one abandoned the people, and Dehua Chunye.To educate those who are not good.Although there are beautiful biscuits that come first with four horses, it is better to sit on this way.

The reason why the ancients valued this way was that they traveled far and wide every day to seek it, and got it close by themselves.To be guilty is to suffer from troubled times, and the dark king will be punished for his reckless actions, but cultivating the Tao can save you from death and avoid the public.The moral hole is far-reaching, everything can be helped, and the whole body governs the country, calmly doing nothing, so it is valuable to the world.
