Reading Notes of Tao Te Ching 69-7 1

69. There is a saying in fighting: "Dare not be the master, dare not be a guest; Don't dare to enter, you can only retreat. " It means there is no line and no arm (ring: three times); Throw invincible; No soldiers. There is no greater disaster than underestimating the enemy, and underestimating the enemy will lose my treasure. Therefore, the resistance to soldiers is similar, and those who mourn win.

People who know how to use troops once said: I dare not take the initiative to wage war to invade others, and only fight when I am attacked; In a war, we dare not advance blindly by an inch, but retreat by a foot to advance. (On the territory of the invading country) Although the people didn't line up, they didn't face the people with anger. Although they didn't seem to face the enemy, although the people had no weapons in their hands, they were enemies of the invaders everywhere. There is no greater disaster than underestimating the enemy, who almost lost my "three treasures" So when the two armies are at loggerheads, the sympathetic and supportive side will win.

Understanding: There are several points about war in the Tao Te Ching. It is said that soldiers are unlucky, and I don't have much feeling about these. However, if we extend but do things, solving problems is a battle. Don't underestimate your enemy, but pay attention to it from the beginning to the end.

70. My words are easy to understand and easy to understand. There is nothing to know and nothing to do in the world. Words are true, things are true. My husband is ignorant, so I don't know. People who know me hope that we will be expensive. The saints are Brown and Huai Yu.

My words are easy to understand and implement. However, people all over the world don't understand and follow this point. Speak with the core purpose and do things with the focus. It is because I don't know this truth that I don't know me. Few people know me, and even fewer people do what I say. So saints wear coarse cloth and hold beautiful jade.

Understanding: Does Wang Yangming's unity of knowledge and action come from here? It's more important to know before doing it. Knowing that it's only someone else's, doing it is your own. Wang Yangming's psychology should also be arranged. Zhuangzi, Liezi and Xue Xin still have a lot to learn, but more is to combine what they have learned with their words and deeds.

7 1. I don't know, it's still awkward; I don't know. I'm sick. Sages are not sick, because they are sick, and husbands are only sick, so they are not sick.

It is wise to know that you don't know something; If you don't know but think you know, it's your brain. Treat shortcomings as shortcomings, so that there can be no shortcomings. The sage of Tao has no faults, and it is precisely because he regards faults as faults that he can have no faults.

Understanding: The Analects of Confucius also has such a description. Knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing. It is undeniable that human cognition has boundaries. Who dares to say that he is omnipotent and omniscient, knowing astronomy above and geography below? Either a fortune teller or a liar. Only by knowing your own shortcomings can you be alert and not try to be brave and go to dangerous places. This is that a gentleman is not under a dangerous wall.
