The Study Of Laozi's Thought-Dao Obeys Zi Ran

"Tao"as the most abstract,speculative and meaningful category in Chinese philosophy,has a profound impact on the history of Chinese philosophy."Tao"is the most representative philosophical term of"Chinese philosophy",which shows the very high theoretical and speculative level of Chinese philosophy.Laozi's theory of Tao not only established the first complete world outlook system of ontology and cosmology in the history of Chinese philosophy,but also systematically demonstrated the epistemology and methodology system of dialectical unified thinking for the first time.In Laozi,the specific meaning of"Tao"is changeable and lack of specific provisions,while"Thougth-Tao Obeys Zi Ran"(????)is almost a clear stipulation or explanation of"Tao"by Laozi.The"Zi Ran"characteristic of"Tao"is not only the core characteristic of Laozi's"Tao",but also the clear explanation of"Tao"in concrete cognition.From Lao Tzu's discussion of Tao and Zi Ran,we can know that Zi Ran is not only the characteristic of Tao itself,but also the state and embodiment of all things following Tao.Taoist Zi Ran is the whole explanation that all things in the world imitate,covering the metaphysical ontology level and the metaphysical humanity level.In the aspect of humanity,"Human Obeys Zi Ran"(????)is the concrete embodiment of"all things Obeys Zi Ran".All things are created by Tao,and the obeys of all things is the inevitable embodiment of the root and creation of Tao.The reason why Laozi"Needless to say"Tian,Di and human obeys Zi Ran is to show that human's lust will be covered and lose its Zi Ran to his free will and his lust.Therefore,Lao Tzu would emphasize"Human Obeys Di,Di Obeys Tian,Tian Obeys Tao,Tao Obeys Zi Ran"(???,???,???,????).The ultimate intention is to deduce the law of nature.Only human beings act on Zi Ran,do not violate theTao Obeys Zi Ran,do not cause trouble to all things,and all things will naturally show the Tao Obeys Zi Ran.In this way,we have reached the state of"Tao Obeys Zi Ran".Tao Obeys Zi Ran is not only an idea,but also a way of thinking,and the highest value of following the Tao.This paper analyzes the meaning of "Zi Ran " in Laozi's text by means of historical reduction,and concludes that the word "Zi Ran" in Laozi's text is not the meaning oftoday's nature,but the meaning of "it is so" and "self is so".Then through the analysis of "Human Obeys Di,Di Obeys Tian,Tian Obeys Tao,Tao Obeys Zi Ran",it is concluded that the implementation of the cosmology of "Tao Obeys Zi Ran" to the level of outlook on life is the " Zi Ran" state of "doing nothing but doing nothing",that is,"Tao Obeys Zi Ran" is "Human Obeys Zi Ran"."Zi Ran" is the inherent characteristic or existence mode of "Tao",and it is also the true state of all things obeying the Tao.Lao Tzu's thought-Dao obeys Zi Ran respects the law of development of things,does not interfere with the operation of all things,and emphasizes the "Zi Ran" of all things in the world,supplemented by Zi Ran.Lao Tzu's thought-Tao obeys Zi Ran not only helps to cut into the complicated system of Lao Tzu's thought,but also has a certain practical significance for the construction of a harmonious society and the promotion of personal ideas.
