Discusses Lao Tze "Doing Nothing" Outlook On Life

The speed social development and many historical changes have taken place inChina since the initiation of reform and opening in period of the1980s, however, at thesame time, there have emerged problems which can not ignore. The sudden changes notonly make people finds everything new but also exert an influence on inherent concept.So people need to adjust their own state of mind, construct an oasis of heart and thenestablish the correct outlook on life. In some point, Chinese philosophy has alwaysbeen the treasure-house of life theory, which is full of life wisdoms. And the modestoutlook on life of "doing nothing" from "Lao Tzu" which means the surrealindisputable and distress, objective, open-minded and so on is pivotal and significantfor people to build the right values. It can also facilitate and push forward to buildharmonious social which has certain characteristics of democracy the rule of law,equity and justice, honesty and fraternity, vigor, stability order and harmony betweenman and nature.Since the ancient times there are lots of researches and comments for "Lao Tzu",the involved fields are very extensive too, which have made outstanding contribution tothe theory. But in my opinion, further exploration of some problems is necessary, themain points are as follows: First, in the qualitative views for "doing nothing", somescholars show slightly not objective. Second, there is certain deviation in theunderstanding, inheritance process of "doing nothing" for later generations. Lastly, theresearches for "doing nothing" from "Lao Tzu" in academic circle lack of depth and thebreadth.In my opinion, the outlook on life of "Lao Tzu" should include a realm of life, theattitude to life and life purpose, however, the past researches for "doing nothing"outlook on life form "Lao Tzu" are limited to attitude to life, then ignore the realm oflife and life purpose of the investigation, and there is few study is full of the threepoints together.Because I am interested in the third question, and it will has certain significance tolaunch research, so I will start from the whole idea of "Lao Tzu", and combed clearphilosophy meanings of "doing nothing", comparatively systematically expound theoutlook on life in the "realm of life" concept and explain its time significance. I will strive to present more objective and accurate explanatory notes of "doing nothing"realm of life from "Lao Tzu", and will also discuses when put life attitude and purposetogether in the realm of life and in the way of realizing the realm of life under thehighest demand.Though there has been more than two thousand years since the establishment of"doing nothing" outlook on life form "Lao Tzu", it has still important theory valueand practice value. First, in the spiritual cultivation, the realm of life "doing nothing"sparkplugs no desire and advocates a surer indisputable characteristics, so it can helppeople ascend their realm of spirit.Second, in the practice, many views of life attitude, life purpose from "Lao Tzu",not only show the way of governing country and cultivating one’s moral character forpeople but also offer methodology to handle and solve problems of the relationshipbetween people and natureToday we recommit the topic of "Lao Tzu", and carrying out systemic research foroutlook on life especially realm of life will has great significance to the construction ofsocialist harmonious society.First, it is major issue to seek for available thing from China’s early works in theCanon text for all sectors of the community, so the study for philosophy of life theorycan provide helpful thought resources for the construction of socialist core valuesystem.Second, in the meaning of the liberation, Lao Tzu emphasizes on "for and not have","retire after winning merit", such precious wisdoms have very important enlightenmentand reference meanings for shaping idealize life of modernist.Of course, Lao tze theory also has its limitation: Lao Tzu did not contend for "get"positively in order to avoid the "lost","Lao tze theory" dialectics treat himself in themetaphysical is giving up fight for actively in order to prevent from suffering, whichhas many discordant places in modern life practice. At the same time,"Lao tze ofobscure with" goes against people to understand and grasp for its color of mysteriesmore or else.
