How did Taoism develop into a passive hermit?

Inaction is a realm of great wisdom, not simply understanding why you don't act. Lao Tzu said, "I want to be empty and quiet, and do everything at the same time, so that I can see the restoration ..." I only remember the first point. This is a realm in practice, which cannot be understood hastily with daily thinking. Laozi saw something that ordinary people couldn't see in his silence, so he said: Tao, Tao, Tao. Tao, if it can be clarified, is not an eternal Tao. How can this be understood as passive avoidance? What's more, didn't Lao Tzu advocate inaction and do everything? How can it be negative to achieve omnipotent and omnipotent state in inaction? How many people are possessed for this realm!

Only if we look at the philosophy of birth from the perspective of China's entry into WTO, it is of course passive and reclusive. Just like judging women by men's standards, women are weak. Just from a different angle.

A small country with few people is a passive hermit from the present point of view, but looking at today's world, big countries, crises, disputes, noise and people's inner emptiness, I am afraid it needs a little "passive hermit" philosophy to adjust!

If you avoid the world passively, it may be more obvious in Zhuangzi, because there were frequent wars at that time, so Zhuangzi had to do the opposite and satirize the current situation. Later, Zhang Daoling founded Taoism, with Laozi as its leader. The development of Taoism may be mainly in Taoism. Taoist belief in immortals makes its theory more and more mysterious (it is difficult for ordinary people to understand). )

In fact, Taoism has a wide range. As far as I know, it includes: mountain (refers to practice, such as inner alchemy, outer alchemy, mental fasting, sitting and forgetting, etc. ), medicine (referring to Chinese medicine), fate (referring to fortune telling, including four pillars and eight characters, Chinese characters, dripping marrow, etc. ), physiognomy (refers to the face) and divination (including Daoism and Great Liu Ren).

A mountain should not be regarded as passive seclusion, in which sex work (refers to self-cultivation, such as fasting, forgetting to sit, etc. ) and life and work (referring to physical exercise, such as Qigong) are rich treasures today, and the dross may be regarded as the ignorant thoughts advocated by feudal rulers, but this causal cycle of Buddhism is obvious to the six divisions of causal reincarnation, and Taoism may be "resigned".

Naturally, there are many feudal fools' thoughts, but today, no matter what people's standards are, its reference value is still very good. One of the negative thoughts may be: life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in the sky. However, the Taoist thought of Dan Dao is just the opposite. It thinks that my life depends on my absence, and I want to return hundreds of millions of years of life to Dan-Tortoise Shell.

A kind of physiognomy, some people say it is superstition, others say it is also science. It is only a skill to see the essence through the phenomenon. Ideas should not be obvious.

A kind of divination, the ancient three styles (referring to the sudden escape of armor, etc. ), divination and so on are all knowledge of operational decision-making, and at most there is a feudal superstition "charge", but there are many people who learn it now.

To sum up, Taoism can't be described as negative and positive in Laozi's period. After all, in China today, as far as the open field is concerned, even Laozi is inferior, let alone more than him. Zhuangzi may be a little passive recluse, because he challenged Confucius and Mencius, and the opposite of taking the initiative to join the WTO is naturally passive recluse! Then I went to Taoism. In the development of Taoism, in order to expand its scale, it will naturally move closer to the official philosophy and eventually form feudal thoughts. Perhaps it was obvious in the period of Tao Hongjing and Ge Hong, and Ge Hong even denied Lao Zi's way, which shows the change of thought in this period. Taoism still has some feudal hierarchical ideas, I'm not sure.

Personal opinion, let's listen. Please give me more advice. Thank you.
