Hello everyone, today we will continue to talk about the "Tao Te Ching" and see what kind of life inspiration Lao Tzu brings us. Today, we are talking about Chapter 36, which is a new chapter. The principles in this chapter are very interesting, and its words are very similar. Let’s learn bit by bit.
First of all, the first sentence is, "If you want to hide it, you must let it go", and the second sentence is, "If you want to be weak, you must let it be strong." "Jiangyushezhi" means that if God is about to close things, he will definitely let it open first. The "gu" in this sentence is mostly written as "solid" in current versions. "Consolidation" has a certain meaning. Wang Ben wrote "If you want to shed it, you must strengthen it." "Ancient" must be only phonetic. This word should be "Gu", "Gu" for aunt, "Gu" means temporarily, and it means that I will let you do something first.
We think that the "ancient" in the first and second editions of the silk script is the word "gu". In terms of meaning, it should be "gu". If you are defeated, you must be assisted by your aunt; if you want to take it, you must give it to you." There is a similar sentence in the thirty-sixth chapter of "Tao Te Ching", where "Gu" is used, and "Book of Zhou" "It is said that "Book of Zhou" is from the Zhou Dynasty, recording the content of the Zhou Dynasty. "Book of Zhou" was published earlier than "Tao Te Ching", and it is the content of the Zhou Dynasty. , Lao Tzu wrote these contents with reference to the "Book of Zhou". At that time, I could see the important classics of those countries in ancient times. can be seen in. Like the saying in "Book of Zhou", "If you want to lose, you must help it; if you want to take it, you must give it to you", these are all records in "Book of Zhou", from ancient times.
When writing "Warring States Policy", people read these books and wrote it like this. We know from such evidence that Lao Tzu consulted a large number of ancient national-level classics, important ideological and cultural classics, and sorted out the "Tao Te Ching". The "Tao Te Ching" was not compiled by Lao Tzu out of thin air. There is evidence in the literature before that "Gu" is used in "Book of Zhou", which is correct, and it should also mean tentatively in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching". Generally speaking, the meaning of this saying is that if God closes one thing first, it must be opened first. This saying is about the change between the strength and weakness of all things, just like the yin and yang fish in the Eight Diagrams diagram. A little bit of Yang Qi rises and Yin Qi falls. When Yin Qi is heavy, Yang Qi gradually weakens. Close, ever-changing.
If we want to get the expected results, we must understand the principle of this change, and follow its development ideas and track, so that we can get a good result. Why do we have to open it first when we close it? This is the way of heaven. For example, in the treatment of insomnia, it is found that a person has insomnia, cannot sleep well, is particularly energetic at night, and his eyes are bright, but he just does not sleep. This is insomnia. We often see this in our circle of friends. Kind of person, when you get up in the morning and open your circle of friends to check WeChat, he sends WeChat at three or four in the morning, and it’s a sleepless night, and he can’t sleep again, etc. I think these people are in my circle of friends, I guess they really don’t Why did you read my article? I wrote about how to cure insomnia. I wrote so many articles. I guess he didn’t read it. There are various treatment methods for insomnia. I think insomnia can be roughly divided into two types: one is caused by insufficient liver qi and bad mood. I don't feel good, I mentioned Yuling ointment.
There are other ways to treat insomnia. Sometimes I see a patient who suffers from insomnia. The family members report that they have not slept for more than two months and are very energetic at night. When you call the patient, you will find out what happened when the patient came to see the doctor. Like, very energetic at night, but sluggish during the day, drowsy during the day, always wanting to lie there to rest, he enters a state of sluggish during the day, energetic at night, this is Yin and Yang rebellion, have you seen such a little baby, during the day The family was busy putting him to sleep, but after getting enough sleep during the day, he became more energetic at night and started to play. He sleeps well at night, don’t let him sleep during the day, make him excited during the day, let him play hard, don’t let him sleep for a moment, and end up being extremely sleepy at night, I have raised children with this experience, and all children know . The same is true for our treatment of patients. The patient suffers from insomnia at night. You can see that he is sluggish during the day and always wants to find a place to sleep. If you are not excited during the day but excited at night, this is the opposite. Normal people are excited during the day and sleepy at night.
The treatment for this kind of people is to prescribe stimulant drugs. Once you hear that, you are not mistaken, right? Let him be excited during the day, and give him a drug to make him excited. This person suffers from insomnia, and he is given this drug in the morning to make him excited and full of energy. Take the medicine for calming the nerves at night. After making him excited enough during the day, he can also exercise, go shopping, exercise, run, and play during the day, so that he can really sleep well at night, and his nerves can relax. drowsy. During the day, let him open and get excited as much as possible, and then close it at night. This is the principle of "If you want to hide it, you must let it open". There are many such examples.
Two days ago, I had a Singaporean friend who couldn’t sleep at night. It was very painful. Sometimes he would suffer from insomnia. He rested during the day. I said that he must not rest during the day. He went shopping, walking, exercising, and getting excited during the day, and then went to eat to soothe the nerves at night. At night, I recommended him to eat Yuling ointment, and he ate it. At that time, he specially asked someone to buy Yuling ointment from Suzhou Baomei Kitchen, and then shipped it. This thing was shipped to Guangzhou before French mail Then I brought it to Singapore. After I brought it there, I told him to eat it every night before going to bed. I slept very well at night, this is "If you want to hide it, you must let it go", there are many such things.
My father had a period of time, he couldn’t sleep well at night, he suffered from insomnia, his eyes glowed brightly at night, and he was drowsy during the day, the old man and children sometimes were very similar, he was sleepy during the day, and didn’t sleep well during the day Of course sleepy, no energy head, the less energy head, the more rested during the day, the more excited at night. Let him do activities, take calming medicine at night, and he will sleep well soon. There are many such examples. This is a treatment method. We have grasped the law of yin and yang changes, and let the yang flourish when the yang is flourishing. , Only when the yang is strong enough during the day, can the yin be peaceful and prosperous at night.
It’s the same as Lao Tzu said, “Help the desire”, if you want to close it, God will let it open first, you have to see the essence of the matter, it’s just a state of change, we don’t want it because of When it is in the open state, it thinks that it will never close. It is possible that the bigger the opening, the more likely it will finally close. This is a mystery of the change of yin and yang. In life, there are too many such things. After grasping this principle, it can be used in life. For example, if a child just doesn’t eat, if he has a bad appetite, he won’t eat. If he doesn’t like to eat, he won’t eat if he doesn’t want to eat. Do not let him eat. When he is hungry, give him something delicious. The more he eats, the more delicious he will be. I really don't want to eat.
Reasons are everywhere in life, but Laozi told you that "if you want to hide it, you must let it go". In life, if we understand this principle thoroughly, do things according to the trend, and follow the law of yin and yang changes to operate it, you will definitely do things more calmly. This is the reason Lao Tzu taught us.
Friends, let's talk about this for today. At this time tomorrow, let's talk again and see what kind of inspiration Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" brings us.
