What is the yin and yang creation of heaven and earth showing us human beings?
The heavens and the earth are great, and people still have regrets. Therefore, the gentleman's language is big, and the world cannot carry it; if the language is small, the world cannot be broken. "Poetry" cloud: "The kites fly in the sky, and the fish leap in the abyss." "Say it up and down also. The way of a gentleman is to make a husband and wife, and to be the best of it, to see the heavens and the earth.
Translation: The earth is so big, but there are still places of regret that people have. Therefore, when the gentleman's way is said to be big, it is so big that it cannot even carry the whole world; when a gentleman speaks of a small place, he is so small that he cannot even be separated at all. The Book of Verses says, "Birds fly into the sky, and fish leap into deep water." "It's about being clear up and down. The Way of the Gentleman begins with ordinary men and women, but its highest and deepest realm can be manifested in the whole heaven and earth.
We human beings were born between the universe of heaven and earth, and the heavens and the earth nurture all things, providing us humans with sufficient sunlight, water, vegetation, and food for human beings to reproduce and live. As the spirit of all things, human beings help the creation of heaven and earth, and perceive the feelings of all things in heaven and earth, if they cannot appreciate the essence of the dao behind this all their lives, if they cannot live fundamentally, it is always a regret.
The Tao Te Ching says, "The Tao Is rushed, and it is used or not profitable." Yuanxi, like the sect of all things; Cham Xi, like or existing". The great avenue mentioned by the gentleman can be placed in the four seas, and the small can also be hidden in the secret, spreading between the entire universe, "seeing and seeing, hearing and hearing, and leaving behind the body."
The ancients said: "Look at the astronomy, observe the changes of the times, look at the humanities, and turn it into the world." "The iris flies in the sky, and the fish leaps on the abyss" is actually a manifestation of the Tao, which is the natural change of yin and yang of the anode anti-yin and cathode anti-yang. All the external images we see are actually demonstrations and evolutions of the yin and yang creation of the Dao, and they are all manifestations of the reality of the universe of heaven and earth, and they are all enlightening us human beings to return to the original source, to be like the laws of heaven, to know that there is a way, to understand the self-nature, to experience the tao, to cultivate the tao, to realize the tao, to become enlightened.
The Tao Te Ching says: "Husbands and things are all the same, each returns to its roots, and returns to its roots and is quiet, and it is a resurrection of life." Resurrection is often known, and knowledge is often known. I don't know how to be constant, I don't know how to commit a crime, I know how to do it, I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it, I don ”
The mediocrity between husband and wife, close to the ordinary, contains the middle way that can communicate with the Avenue of Heaven and Earth. Gentlemen's cultivation, not falsely seeking from the outside, should seek from within, to seek in their own nature, to the joy and sorrow of the beginning of the unfulfilled to hold on, to the husband and wife, father and son brothers of the daily use of the usual to practice, to neutralize, adhere to the way of moderation, after all, can know the essence of the dao, which is also the fundamental good of each of us to obtain life.
Let us go to the story of Zhuangzi's "Zhuang Zhou Mengdi" to understand the materialization of the heavens and the earth.
Zhuang Zhou Dream Disc. Original text: In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, and butterflies came to life. Self-metaphorical and chivalrous! I don't know zhou also. If you are aware, then you will be aware of it. I don't know if Zhou's dream is a butterfly with? Butterfly Dreams for Weeks and? Zhou and butterflies must be separated. This is called materialization. (Zhuangzi Qiwu Theory)
In the past, there was a person named Zhuang Zhou, once, he dreamed that he had become a butterfly, a very vivid and realistic butterfly, he was in the flowers, between the grass and trees, next to the mountain stream, flying, flying, how pleasant and comfortable! He had forgotten that he was originally Zhuang Zhou. Suddenly, he woke up, and in a panic, he realized that I was Zhuang Zhou. I don't know if this is Zhuang Zhou's dream of becoming a butterfly, or if the butterfly dreams of becoming Zhuang Zhou? There must be a difference between Zhuang Zhou and Butterfly. Maybe this is called materialization.
